V 1.0.0 release, the value of art and learning GDelevop

My first new project in quite a while! Been over 6 months since I last submitted something new.

This project is basically my  first attempt at learning Gdevelop. I decided it's probably about time to  upgrade from Scratch to something a bit more  adapted to producing games for other platforms. Some people would probably say that I should start learning real code, and I get that, but I'm also short on time and energy, so for the time being I'll probably stick to only learning just as much as I  need for each respective project, haha.

This game is built on a shooter game template from GDevelop, so I haven't even programmed all of it myself, but I did make quite  a few adjustments  as well  as the art of course. At the end  I also got Echo and Awe Sound on  to the project which really elevated the whole thing. The soundtrack they composed with sampling from   Phoebe Plummer, throwing soup on a Van Gogh painting at a Just Stop Oil protest on 14 october 2022 really took the whole project one step further.

I'm myself part of the Restore wetlands (Återställ våtmarker) activist movement in Sweden, part of the A22 Network like Just stop oil. Restore wetlands have made similar actions targeting art, and while I personally place high value on art and culture I believe that it cannot be measured against the currently ongoing destruction of life and ecosystems and I see no issues with these contradictions in society being brought to the surface. The climate crisis will after all destroy countless  valuable works of art in the coming decades, something that is knowingly being brought upon us by the people and systems in power.
