I definitely need time away from anything I create to appreciate it. When I launched The Afterlife Cafe one month ago, I felt like there was so much I should have changed. Now when I watch others play it, I'm like 'this is great!' 😂 Same for my launch trailer. It's so cool! youtu.be/ub3D6dLVERM

We're barely past day 2 and only 5 bucks away from hitting 85% of our goal, sending this into the streets in the hope of someone wants to throw five dollars at a bunch of crusty indie devs (less than a coffee or cheese of middling quality) www.kickstarter.com/projects/ind... #indiedev #chicago

The other day I learned my game had ended up on IGDB. So if you're working on a game, check igdb.com to see if your game is there. If it's not, add it. If it is, make any needed updates. You can even get free verification for expedited update approvals and a cool little blue check. #gamedev

I had a great time at C2E2. These showcases are always great for hearing directly from players. It's also really entertaining to watch the live reactions from people. This group was so into it! (The game is mirrored on the other side of the table.) I promise this picture was not staged 😝 #indiegame
