Godot 4.2 with C#. Done differently? Hmm. It was an intense duration of work and I set a firm deadline for myself of EOY 2024 to avoid it dragging out into a longer-than-it-should-be project. Gaining design skills along the way, I could make better use of the same amount of time now, just by being a better designer. But that's not hindsight. There were trade-offs in that aggressive schedule, and a lot of triaging. One of the things that probably could have used a little more time in the oven, perhaps trading off against content, was the meta progression. I wasn't in love with what shipped, and it seems to be the main criticism of the game, besides RNG. It's something I may still potentially address in a patch though.
