Word Thirds Launch
Word Thirds is one of many games I made for my iOS brain training game, Brainiversity. If you are reading this on an Apple device then you can try Brainiversity for free here:

I built Brainiversity using SwiftUI, a language I really enjoy coding in. Sadly, SwiftUI limits my audience to people who own Apple devices. I've been wanting to expand to other platforms for a while now but could never find a game engine that clicked for me. Friends had recommended Godot, and I tried it out a year ago, but while it was great for 2D I wanted something that could also handle 3D and Godot felt a bit lacking.
Fast forward to September 2023 and Unity caused a brouhaha with their new pricing. Suddenly everyone was talking about Godot. There was an explosion of tutorials and YouTube videos and Godot 4 with better 3D support was out. So I gave it another go, and it was great! Everything clicked.
I have decided to switch to Godot for all my new games and my first major release will be Halloween Harry 3D. However, to get up to speed with Godot I decided to port over one of my word games - it's a great way to learn how to do UI and build something in Godot from start to finish. Hopefully I make all of my programming mistakes with these smaller games :-)
So that's how Word Thirds came into being. I am super excited about breaking free of the App Store shackles and make stuff that can be played by anyone, anywhere - be it on iOS, Android, Windows, Linux, Mac or web. Let me know what you think of the game!
Cheers,
Johnno
