Trying to force myself to do this recently and have found it really inspiring. I feel the same, demos are a great way for me to still play stuff and not commit fully to games

a comic with three frames:
1) a man is reading a book entitled "Why Your Bluesky Timeline Is Bad"
2) the man is looking at a page in the book and it reads "skill issue"
3) the man cries tears of anguish

In the span of weeks, I've gone from someone who has never used Godot, to struggling to "get" Godot, to really liking Godot, to having taught aspiring gamedevs the basics of Godot, to strongly believing Godot's workflow & structure might be the best approach to developing games for many purposes.

usually knocknacarra / westside was the only safe part of my cycle, but the rest of the time i had to cycle nearly in the middle of the road to prevent cars nearly killing me ๐Ÿ˜…

yeah I must say I actually found Galway at times worse than Dublin having commuted 5-10k each way in both cities. Galway worse for cars and Dublin now worse for ebikes / scooters causing dangerous situations

Last Friday was a big one for us.

The same day we announced Fallosophy (๐Ÿ˜…), we attended the Irish Games IndieDev & Incubator networking day at CREW.

The IndieDev Fund played a huge role in getting the game started, and it was brilliant meeting so many talented developers.

Valve and Nintendo will collaborate on โ€œabsolutely nothingโ€ later today.

There will be โ€œno details, whatsoeverโ€ announced because, as my source puts it, โ€œThey literally aren't doing anything together. Stop messaging me.โ€

It remains to be seen what - if anything - this collaboration is about.
