A timeline visually representing the advice from my post, emphasising how dramatically and reliably having more time, with a testable build, converts to your game being better and your studio being safer.
I've been running an indie games studio for 15 years now, and it felt like a good time to boil down what I've learned into 4 pieces of advice:

I hope it's of use, not least because goddamn I forgot how long blog posts take to write.
We pushed an update yesterday to #EyesOfHellfire that added player held candelabras to the game.
These were slightly annoying to deal with, involving a little render magic and some brute force dumbness...

It was an absolute pleasure, and great craic, to chat with @neiljackman.bsky.social about the Hellfire Club in Dublin, which inspired our recent game Eyes of Hellfire.
Our game Eyes of Hellfire is set in the infamous Hellfire Club, a real-life location in #Dublin that you can hike up to - it's very cool (and spooky!)
@lenhaunts.bsky.social interviewed archaeologist @neiljackman.bsky.social about the club & his archaeological dig there!!
