You know, its easy to forget because it can be so stressful and hard, but making this game I'm also having the time of my life. Its such an amazing creative and fulfilling outlet, I want to encourage everyone to make games and to focus on enjoying the process. You can do it. 🤜💥🤛 #gamedev #indiedev

A leafeon naps in a basket of peppers at a produce stand bathed in sunlight. Partly eaten peppers sits nearby, while the price tag has been replaced with a half-off label: "leftovers" They're a bargain, so pepper stir-fry it is tonight. Now then... let's make sure we don't wake the little sleeper

I have always had a casual flirtation with this series but never really fully committed myself to it. This next release was flying under the radar for me until I watched SkillUp's video. Straight to the top of my wishlist, this man has a way with words God damn. youtu.be/h4nbrRTCNdg?...

Every time I have a creative block or anxiety about what's left to do I just listen to music from Halo and I am reborn. I actually find Chief to be a fairly inspirational character. He just does, because that's what he knows how to do. I really like that. Unstoppable.

After lunch I usually step outside to sit with the chickens and think for a bit. My attention will often drift in the early afternoon so this down time helps me refocus. Should I be adding then ti the games credits?

I was going to release the demo for Bumper Bout, but I think it's probably wise to wait a week until the Gamescom noise dies down. Gives me more time to prepare!
