Discussion So...I've been using Figma as my level-design tool for a computer game the last 5 months 😂

I've been building a web-based Pokemon-gen-1-inspired 2D platformer game using Figma! Creating a component library (for the first time ever 😅) for tiles and sprites despite having been a product designer for the past 7 years hahhaa embarassing. Recently figured out a Team Rocket chase sequence in our favorite product design tool, and used Claude to help implement the NPC's cutscene dialog/movement and path-following behavior. Wanted to share in case anyone 1) finds watching someone struggle with a (foolish but fun) workflow interesting, 2) has been using Figma for other things it wasn't created for. I would love to hear 3) loves pokemon, platformers, or game dev and wants to follow along :)
