Downloading the Project

Using Godot 4.3

You must have Blender installed and have Blender imports (https://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/tutorials/assets_pipeline/importing_scenes.html#importing-blend-files-directly-within-godot) configured in your Godot editor. If not, you will get an error saying Scene file 'Main.tcsn' appears to be invalid/corrupt or Error while loading file 'Main.tcsn' caused by the broken dependencies from the blender files not being imported. Please have a look at #3.
