“Comparison is the thief of joy” — I had the same exact feelings you had too. I use it as a motivator for my future projects. Can’t get really good without being bad first.

Celebrating the launch of my indie game, Prototype Juan, with my wife, @ricebunny94.bsky.social !! This has been an incredible launch experience and I’ll never forget it. It has invigorated me for the rest of my life 🙏 🔥

Now that Prototype Juan is complete and released 🙏 I can finally dedicate more time to Ghost of Yotei. I’m really enjoying this game a lot. Feels like the best parts of RDR2 and Zelda BOTW combined into an amazing experience. Nothing feels wasted here.

My little action-platformer, mini-metroidvania, "Prototype Juan", is *totally* like 'Ghost of Tsushima' and 'Spider-Man 2' haha 😅 Thanks, @steampowered.com

Juan's been banished to the prototype version of his game! He’s gone from a colorful 16-bit hero to a tiny 1-bit homie. Help him platform his way back in this narrative action-platformer—with Juan him...

Yesterday was a pretty great launch day for me. It went better than I could have imagined! I love reading the Steam reviews, and seeing people upload their Speedrun to YouTube. I hope everyone is enjoying the game!

Marty PixelRod | 'Prototype Juan' 👾 out now on Steam! 💻 @martypixelrod.bsky.social · 2d

Sure, you can add me!

Marty PixelRod | 'Prototype Juan' 👾 out now on Steam! 💻 @martypixelrod.bsky.social · 2d

My condolences 🙏

A handsome horse!

Me neither, dawg. Just released a weird game on Steam. I used your theme song for the trailer of my game, hope you don’t mind. ✌️ 💦 🦇 🦇 💧

Added to my watchlist! Heck yeah! I've seen a few of his interviews and just saw him speedrace a Kinda Funny member on their YT channel. I think I must keep this act up, eh? haha

Marty PixelRod | 'Prototype Juan' 👾 out now on Steam! 💻 @martypixelrod.bsky.social · 2d

I'm kinda shocked it's working, tbh. Who knew showing your face and being silly to promote your work would work! Haha 😅

I hope you enjoy!!

Thanks for the shoutout, @gameovergreggy.bsky.social! Been with Kinda Funny since day zero. BEYOND! This memory of us at the Wing Eating Competition a few years ago cemented my fandom. Love you, bro ❤️

I'm kinda shaking... It was an honor to have my *favorite* gaming podcast, KINDA FUNNY, shout-out and show footage of Prototype Juan! 😭 Thank you so much, @kindafunnyvids.bsky.social and also @timgettys.bsky.social + @gameovergreggy.bsky.social + @blessingjr.bsky.social + @snowbikemike.bsky.social

It moved from the 10th spot to the 5th spot. That's a good thing, right? 😯

I know that feeling with my 2-year-old haha, it's great! Looking forward to your trailer next week!!

Ok, this is actually surreal, and I almost don't believe it!! 😅 My little game made Steam's "Popular New Releases" section. "Prototype Juan" looks so cute down there 🥹
Kinda giving Mike Wazowski vibes haha 😅
