So many people say they are going to change their life.. get a new job, try a new hobby, releasing that game... But most people never actually do any of it. This is how I embraced my feelings, learned from failure, and fell in love with myself by putting in the work. youtu.be/VQ7gvGqcis4?...

Just made a bunch of GDC pitch meeting requests, a bit exhausted... ...so perhaps a few hip indie publishers would like to save me some time by just DMing me if they want to see a new project from the developers of "Blippo+" and "Hypnospace Outlaw." #GDC #gamedev

Graphic: What appears to be a map of some kind. Rooms are numbered but not labeled. The image is monochrome tinted and includes soft marble texture elements, like it comes from a brochure of some kind.

Video screenshot: Some kind of cute tube sock with ears (a puppet creature) is sat down to play checkers at an outdoor cafe table. The creature looks slightly confused. You want to hug them.

Graphic: a cropped images of logotype of some kind. A large letter 'A' made with a rainbow-colored film strip. Below that, and smaller, the letters 'c' and 'i'.

My creative brain loves all of my games, but then as I look at the failed projects I think of them as a business. Both brains can be right about what to do next, but it's in that tension where I find the optimal decisions usually comes to the surface. #gamedev #godot youtu.be/K5BpFTN35RE?...

A Game About Feeding A Black Hole has grossed half a million during the 1st month and that amount still blows me away. So I wanted to take a moment to reflect upon what's changed and what hasn't with me, my life, and my game dev journey. #gamedev #godot #indie #inidedev youtu.be/PEp3vQbt3Os?...

A question I've been pondering this week.. was the successful launch of A Game About Feeding a Black Hole a stroke of Luck or was it Skill? #gamedev #godot #indie #indiedev #youtube youtu.be/c1QHkgLuIsQ?...

This feels like a pretty big moment for me. A few months ago I didn't think I'd have a game on the Popular Upcoming list anytime soon. But we did it! I want to take a moment to share a strange feeling I've been having. Confidence. #gamedev #godot #steam #indiedev #indie
