We’re 3 weeks post launch, sales could be better…😕 The indie market is tough right now. I’m happy with the great reviews though! Please share, so I can at least get a few more eyes on it. Thnx @polygonien.bsky.social & everyone else who bought it. 🥰 #visualnovel #indiegame #gamedev #indiedev #steam

A MAZE always offers me a perfect mix: meeting old industry friends in person, while connecting with new folks who operate on the more artistic side of the industry yet maintain an interest in the business aspects. open.substack.com/pub/jonivand...

After a three-week gap between blog posts, this time it's been four weeks! What happened? Well, not much—hence the longer break. open.substack.com/pub/jonivand...

It's been longer than my usual one-to-two-week posting schedule. One might think I've been too busy to write, but that's only partly true. Actually, I haven't been that busy—professionally, at least.

Last time we checked in, our Cat Cafe Manager 2 team expanded by three people—an increase of more than 30%! As I mentioned, we hit the ground running nicely. And we had to, since our first challenge with the expanded team was just around the corner.

Now that the EU grant application is behind me and the SKU situation with Mighty Merch is mostly handled, I finally had time these past two weeks to focus on production work for Cat Cafe Manager 2 again. And it was high time, because we were about to significantly expand our team!

It's World Cancer Day today. Coincidentally, it's 5 years and 1 day ago, since I was diagnosed with cancer myself. And 5 years exactly since I learned about the existence of said World Cancer Day.

I returned home with a head full of ideas (and a nice tan). However, jumping straight back into work the same day I got home proved challenging, as the workload instantly went from zero to a hundred. The cold, dark Dutch winter didn't help either.

For the music cable geeks, I tried to connect an OP-1 with a Polyend Tracker Mini over the weekend but failed. Both have USB C, so I figured it was going to be easy… it was not. Today I succeeded with this hot mess of cables!

Usually, I end my blog posts by highlighting what’s next for me, and my last post was no exception. What was different, however, was its conclusion: that I’d be doing ‘more of the same’. I don’t think that has ever happened to me before! open.substack.com/pub/jonivand...
