Went to a local nerd convention last weekend with Drill Bird. Highlight was definitely seeing so many people enjoying making drillbird pärlplattor for free - lots of happy folk! Also fun to imagine people having drillbird art in their home 😊

"That sounds like judgment." 5 PSY

PANEL 3: Diane is crying into her hands.

DIANE: "...Maybe you are the therapist who will break the terrible curse."

After procrastinating with new features for a long time, I finally locked in and made a solid dent on the level design for drill birds next update. I am channelling "let's punish the player" and having a lot of fun - hope the players like the tone as well 😏🪦

yo any recs for places to listen to music online? Spotify does not pay their artists and youtube keeps trying to get me addicted to Shorts. Or maybe I should just buy some music and only listen to stuff I've bought like an adult

Currently bracing myself for Drill Birds release in November. I've found that making games demands so much love and work, that the ego will never be happy regardless of reception. I'm trying to focus more on having fun in the process and seeing releasing games as a sometimes painful bonus😅

I am experiencing bigtime analysis paralysis for what to focus on now that I've finished Drillbird. Do I make more drillbird updates, start a new game or just focus on portfolio pieces to apply for jobs? there's so much one could do, and pressure to spend the time wisely ☠️
