Grocery Run - A Ludum Dare 54 adventure

# Devlog

Another solo entry to Ludum Dare, I didn't accomplish as much as I originally wanted (per usual) but I did enjoy learning new things and felt a lot more comfortable in the 3D space. I may continue to iterate with the new 3 week option to see if I can get this into a more complete game.

Some additional notes:

- Picking up multiple items and storing them without an actual inventory system proved interesting. I ended up using the socket manager to fulfill this but quickly encountered may problems with this as you drop, the goose steals. Figuring out the collision/overlap logic was interesting.

- Changed some stuff at the end to cleanup the blueprints and broke the tracking/dropping so it’s a bit jank, won’t be able to fix before end of jam
