- Hired 3 new employees & brought on a contractor full-time🦄
- Signed 2 extensions & 3 new projects🤫

Twins are asleep, the house is a mess, there are tire tracks in the yard from the rental power wheel cars (did y’all know that was a thing?)
But they had an amazing day.
Happy birthday littles & happy parent-aversary to us

The Law of Cool UI in #gamedev:
Every game since 2002, regardless of genre or style, will reference Minority Report (2002) at some point in its development cycle.
See also: curved HUDs, mostly transparent & boxy menus, and blurry/down-sampled backgrounds

Like most businesses, running a co-dev studio is mostly looking at spreadsheets
