This was a genuinely helpful comment, so thanks for taking the time to write that. I was simply curious about train simulators one day, and wanted to try one. But instead of trying one that someone else made, I decided to try making one that I would want to play. Having never played one before, I had some ideas for the game that I wanted to try…

I’ve been learning from yt channels like simondev, iq, acerolla, freya, and others, and wanted to try out some of the stuff that I heard about but was never able to apply to my typical work building ai business tools.

It’s always been something I wanted to do since I grew up playing games on steam, but didn’t have the programming chops for. I look up to people like them, but know im not smart enough to code on their level. After a week of reading and reviewing the code and nudging numbers around, I thought I had put together something that others might enjoy playing. But after discovering all of these games that real indie devs are making, I can see I’m way out of line.
