Just finished up my software dev internship and flying out for some RR and family time. I'll have ~2ish hours in the sky for a little dev at least. I'm moving to a new spot in September but after that until the next thing comes my way I'll be able to really dig in on the demo!

it is a bit difficult to balance playing games with making them sometimes huh? i often wonder how much enjoyability i compromise for the grind and the hours that escape me, but i have a story to tell so

Tris - Solo Dev Working on Big Heart! @gamedevtris.bsky.social · 03/08/2026
