I would like to know what your hoppy coding project are. It doesn’t really have to serve a purpose, but what are you coding on in your free time that just is fun to you and you enjoy working on?

As a background: I am an experienced programmer and do earn my money with it. In my free time I always enjoyed trying out new stuff related to technology, learn new things and improve my skills by doing so. But lately I recognise that I just have no clue what I should do or what a fun toy project I could work on. I really have no ideas. My head just feels completely empty whenever I open my IDE.

So please, tell me what you are coding on for fun.

I'm creating an RPG in GoDot using asprite for resources. I'm about 6 months in and I find it so relaxing making assets and plunking them in. Whatever you do it should be for you is the golden rule. To often people want to inject themselves in or offer input thats sneakily what they want. It should be what your vision is,, your pace and you shouldn't answer to anyone.

That sounds amazing, may we know a little more about your project if you're ready to share something about it?

It's in the vein of dragon. Warrior monster, simple combat but the fun is more seeing all the monsters and exploring. I posted some art assets ill share in a moment. Please keep in mind this is a fun hobby thing.
