Change 11 p.m. to 4 a.m., and that's me ๐
If you're also in that โmy game sucksโ phase, I'm sending you a hug. Your #indiegame probably isn't as bad as bad as you think it is at night
This is the game!! Itโs still in the early stages. Iโm uploading dev diaries about it to the Steam page :3

The capybara forgot his glasses at home, is too lazy to go back and potentially will take the wrong bus.

Jamie, do you understand now why I wake up in the middle of the night thinking about...? ๐คฃ
I really appreciate you sharing your experience ๐ค And thanks for adding Lapso to your wishlist, that's always nice to hear!
I understand your point, but my goal with the post wasn't to talk about how to stop thinking about my game at 4 a.m.
I just wanted to remind other #indiedevs that they're doing a great job, giving it their all, and that sometimes they can't see the forest for the trees.
It's a good point to test before overthinking it, and I appreciate the advice!
But it's almost impossible not to wake up thinking about my game. It's part of the package when you're building something without a safety net.
I think it's a shared experience that we devs have at some point, isn't it?
When I feel like this, the best thing to do is to get it in front of people
You will either:
1. Feel elated that people are enjoying your game. (Go to 3)
2. You will feel destroyed that people didnt enjoy your game. (Go to 3)
3. You will eventually solve problems that arise during this playtest.

If nothing else, this game has pushed my art skills the furthest they've gone, I'm still riddled with imposter syndrome but I think on Wax Heads is the closest I've come to feeling satisfied by something I've made when I look at this โค๏ธ

happy international women's day
Las mujeres cis tambiรฉn pueden seรฑalar y denunciar a terfas, personas racistas, capacitistas, abusadores de compaรฑeras... Y no hay que hacerlo porque un dรญa te puede pasar a ti, hay que hacerlo por empatรญa. Seamos coherentes con la lucha de clases y la interseccionalidad que promueve el feminismo.
So proud that Horror Globes is among @wingsfund.me selection for the Women's Day sale!โจ

I need every single male artist that follows me to read this. It's not very long. You need to bear witness to this shit. You have to see it with your own eyes because you never will in your everyday life.
I'm serious, read it all please
