Was thinking about how things began vs how things ended up. I was still struggling to understand how UVs worked at the start lol. Michelle's room was one of the first areas that I finished early on in development, and laid out the design language for the rest of the environments in a way.

As someone that used to dream about making games for a living I can't believe our first release is one year old today!

Can't believe it's been a whole year since we launched our first game! There's been so many mental ups and downs with it that I'm sure many other indies can relate to, but I've gotten to a place where I feel really proud of what we achieved and excited about what's next.

If you want a place to start: “In my game [the gameplay or story goal is this] and you do it by [describe the game loop].” I’ve seen so many devs fail to articulate that and/or show it in their trailers. Usually at best they just describe the game loop to which I ask: “So what’s the goal?”

Experience doesn't exempt you from the fundamental realities of creative work being unpredictable. Experience tends to make you better at dealing with "failure", maybe better at recognizing it - but it doesn't mean you can avoid it. "Failure" is an important part of the work in any creative work.

Tammy was one of my LimitBreak mentees last year and it’s been incredible to see the journey she’s going on with her indie title Prison of Husks. It is absolutely worth checking out and wishlisting. I mean look at that trailer!!?!

Love seeing anthology games. They give indies loads of opportunity to make super weird stuff! And as I may or may not be making an anthology game 👀 seeing more of these being announced is very encouraging

I had a good time chatting with Jeff about some character stuff - something I could probably talk hours about haha so I really tried to condense my answers here haha. But it was a great time and Season of Pride itself was a fun showcase overall!

Years ago, I curated a small project called Meditations. It has a different game or toy, made by a different developer or creative, for every day. If you want to play a tiny playful thing every day of the year - now could be a great day to start. meditations.games

You made our year. 2024 was when we finally released a passion project. But more importantly, it was when we felt seen by so many gamers that felt a bond to our game. Thank you everyone. Let’s see what the future has in store...

Narrative designers: do you use narrative design documents? If so, what format works for you? If not, what do you do instead? I want to get everything I know about our game out of my head and into a readable format. My impulse is "stream of consciousness" which isn't so helpful for others!

Yeah ok, I’m doing this. Here is some advice for aspiring game writers. Do not come into games wanting to be a game writer with the attitude that all you are going to write are the cinematics. Fact: a game’s story is not about the cinematics. 🧵
