    From giving me ideas on how to do things, how certain things works, what to avoid(for example the popups and wall of text you explained at the video tutorial made me embed the tutorial and what would be in popups inside the narrative instead to preserve the game flow)
    So, thank you for everything, all the videos and knowledge to share
