lately I’ve been thinking about the similarities of new game developers and authors: 🧑‍💻 solo projects 🎨 expressing themselves through art 🔒 often guarded with their ideas 👏 hoping to find an audience 📊 aims for possible full-time career anyone else see it? #gamedev #solodev #writingcommunity

just watched a few episodes of Kino’s Journey, it gives me the same vibes as some of the Ghibli films… cozy, surreal, nostalgic there doesn’t seem to be any sort of overarching plot, just self-contained short stories about a girl traveling to strange towns with her talking motorcycle (っ╹ᆺ╹)っ

skong real

So I've been vibing with a recently released Steam game called Sudoku Acres, where you play sudoku puzzles and decorate a lil farm. Lemme tell ya: it came out at a perfect time for me 'cause last couple of days have been kinda garbage so it's been a nice game for me to relax to.
