It’s OK to Fail: Why I Quit Trying C++ for Godot Game Dev

In this video, I'm talking about why I've chosen to abandon C++ and what that means for my video game journey.

Hi, and welcome to The Infinite Inkwell. I’m Lewis, and I’m on a storytelling adventure, exploring and experimenting with new ways to tell stories. My first storytelling escapade will be in the form of a video game. I've never done this before, I've never written a line of code, and this is my most technical adventure yet!

You can watch me play games and, in the future, hopefully, some development and game art on stream over on Twitch (I will be doing it on YT too, but there are challenges from a Mac)

I'll also be posting updates on Instagram:
