Lets go gang! You all know what to do! Go give this game a wishlist (don't forget to also hit follow) and play the demo if you want. I will be adding it to my wishlist as well.

Even gods faced Mondays ⚡️.
In Greek myth, heroes didn’t wait for perfect conditions—they forged ahead despite chaos.

I know it’s tough to balance worlds. But you can conquer your Olympus too.

Set your mind. Take the first step. Victory follows. 🏛️ #MotivationalMonday

I hope you will get every help you need. None of those things sound pleasant to me.

Max Davidse 🔜 GamesCom @dragonspiritgames.bsky.social · 19d

I will be rooting for you! Can't say that will help, but it will definitely not hurt either! A Social Security panel. Sounds interesting to be honest. What was the topic?

Mondays can feel like Sisyphus pushing his boulder - work calls, Azure tasks, game dev hurdles. But here’s the trick: every push makes us stronger. 💪

I treat Monday as a gift from the gods - another chance to build, create, and grow.

How’s your climb today?

Mondays can feel like staring into a pond waiting to see greatness… 👀
But don’t be like Narcissus—stuck in reflection.
Take action, bloom, and let the world see you grow. 🌸 #MotivationalMonday
