It's been a rough January for me between the fire and other stuff. But GDC is around the corner, so here's an update after 7 months (sorry!)
As an anecdote, the list of pubs/investors went from 281 to 254 despite adding a few :-/
Take care everyone♥️

My controversial take is that if you didn't get credited on a game you have proof you've worked on, just list it on your CV.
I do with one. Never had any issues.
Not being credited still sucks but you don't need to be polite when they're not.

"Malort advent calendar" is already such an unhinged concept but every little window just having Malort in it really pushes it over the edge into something transcendently funny

When you're indie, like Xalavier, & I, & a great deal of our friends who have shipped games & kept our businesses afloat in tumultuous times on extremely limited scopes, you learn a lot about what you can, & can't do.
You learn that mismanagement will destroy everything you hold dear.
