you are so unbelievably loved. even if you don’t love yourself, please be kind and patient with yourself. take care of yourself even thought it’s hard. you will be okay. things will get easier. in the mean time, it’s all we can do to practice self care and treat ourselves with love.

Still trying to figure things out but things are slowly coming together #gamedev #indiegame #unreal

It may feel weird or somehow improper to talk about your art or your writing, but we need it. It can’t be wall-to-wall nightmare all the time. Art is both counterweight and context. It’s escape and enlightenment and a mirror of our own exasperation. We need it. We NEED it. Keep showing us.

The ocean is vast, powerful, and ever-changing—just like you. Let the tides remind you that challenges will pass, new opportunities will come, and you are stronger than you realize. #photographer #photography #mentalhealth #naturephotography #nature #beach #waves

Seriously, creative folks: Don't be afraid to let people know your stuff is out there for them, or worry that "now is not the time for that." People are stressed and freaked out and looking for the things that will give them a moment of rest and joy. It is EXACTLY the time for what we do. Tell them.

TO EVERY ADHDer: Your brain isn’t a curse, it’s a gift wrapped in chaos. Your creativity, your ideas, your spark? The world needs it. Don’t let anyone dim your brilliance. 🌟🔥

A reminder people can play games however they want and are still gamers. Easy or Hard. Dark souls or Animal crossing. Switch or A PC You’re still a gamer 💜🎮

Reminder: They're trying to demoralize you, and they're doing a great job of it. Part of resisting is making time for joy despite the attempts to make you feel this is not the time for it. Love your people. Dig the art that speaks to you. Go to the places where life flows into you. You deserve joy.

Its okay to be upset with this. But dont just let it take from you. Make it give. #comic #animalart #newnormal

Sometimes, you have to step away from the shitstorm. There's a lot to take in right now, so take care of yourself first. This shit will wear you down. Don't allow it. It's okay to let someone else carry this bucket of fucks for a day, or two. Rest when you need to.

I’m not kidding: those who delegate all their writing, thinking and creative expression to machines are going to wake up one day and discover that they can no longer write or think. You need to make your own art. You need to keep your brain working. You need to stay human.

Started working on the turn base combat, so far so good #gamedev #indeigame #jrpg

It would hardly be a new thought to say "we need to work on our critical thinking skills" but I do think it might be worth clarifying that the *point* of critical thinking skills is to be able to create your own meaning out of the things going on in the world.

Testing morph target animations out on Dexter #gamedev #indeigame

Started working on some enemies for my game #gamedev #indegame

not sure if some people understand that part of what makes creating so rewarding is the fact that it *is* hard. It doesn’t matter if you’re been painting or writing for 80 years— every piece will have problems that need solving, and few things feel better than figuring it out.

a lot of creatives fall into the habit of monetizing everything they do and there's something to be said for making your creations into cash but its so important to keep some of your creations just for yourself because when it becomes IMPERATIVE to perform you're on the road to burnout

Soooo I made a bunch of characters... Time to start rigging and maybe get them into better poses lol #gamedev

Working on the blockout #gamedev

I love and stand with animation. The stories made possible with animation are incredible and they deserve to be as high regarded as stories that are made in live action.

Working on character models
