2d Roguelike Capstone
Turn your systems into a finished game. Build the title screen, faded scene transitions, and the Forge where banked essence buys permanent unlocks. Add a pause menu and an AudioManager. Then wire the whole loop together: title, run, death, bank, retry. The capstone that makes it shippable.

Independence Check: prove it in a new system
Take it after you finish. It picks your ideal next step.
Five short tasks in systems you have not seen, using only what the whole campaign taught. No effect on your progress. It shows you what you can already build without a map, and anything you miss turns into a targeted review.

2D Roguelike: Design the Run
Optional. Not part of your current route. Needs: Code From Zero, or you can already read GDScript.
Start with a playable roguelike and make design decisions in it. Make an upgrade that changes where you stand. Tune a charging enemy until a missed dodge feels deserved. Then give the player a cursed card they would take on a strong run and refuse at low health. Every lesson starts with something to play and ends with a playtest.
