The Path Yet to Come...

It will take me some time to write out every step of the Path, but unlike other tutorial series, the code is essentially already written. The final code of the Path will be improved compared to the initial release of my game framework, but you may continue the Path immediately by reading through the Croaking Kero Game Framework source code, which you downloaded in the "Sanity Check" step. CKGF is the code I used to release my commercial games on Steam, and is what the Path is intended to teach.
