Key Concepts

Build games to executable files for distribution and better performance
Never build inside the project folder to avoid corruption
Use tri-planar shading to prevent texture stretching on scaled objects
Interactive objects need hover materials to communicate clickability
Dialogue systems can create branching narratives with decision trees
Object spawning allows dynamic world building during gameplay
Bool Tool enables complex geometry cutting and shaping in Blender
Separate trigger objects from the things they control for better organization
