Operation SAIL for Strategic Advance In Lisbon has begun! 🚢

I've travelled to Portugal to meet up my good ol' pal @jorgegamedev.com and to get Townseek on track for a full-blown sprint. Let's get this ship out in the ocean! 🌮

I plan to share more pictures and findings as the trip goes! 📸

A photo of Jorge and I, eating at a restaurant to celebrate my trip to Lisbon. Jorge is wearing a blue polo and looking at the camera, while I'm wearing a black Star Wars shirt with Grogu and doing two thumbs-ups.

We're setting SAIL soon! ⛵

(This is not about the release date, which I feel I need to make a disclaimer whenever I post something vague now. 😅)

As you know, I'm not recovered yet from recent undue stress. If I may self-indulge for my birthday, I'd like to ask you something for today. 🙇

If you have the time, I'd really thank you if you could write down or doodle, something about what Townseek or our team at @whalesandgames.com means to you.

A doodle of Whalechan and Capt. Jawline side-to-side. Whalechan is our anime mascot from Whales And Games, being an adult woman with whale-looking hair and a top hat. She's holding our whale mascot Polite Whale, who also has his own top hat and tie. They're both coloured in blue. To the right, Capt. Jawline, our steampunk shark mascot for Townseek, grins at the viewer while crossing his arms on top of his large coat. He's coloured in orange. Both are positioned on top of a light blue background.

#OnePiece realization. Whenever a baby appears in a flashback, expect a ton of tragedy to follow.

I don't know what resolution is in sight, what the pay off will be, or even what state our game will release in one day.

But after this last week, I know we've got the right people behind our backs, willing to help us, and the reason on our side.

We'll bounce back. @whalesandgames.com always does.

Where is Whalechan's train taking her? 🚂

Our problems and difficulties have never been between you and me. But about how we're treated and disrespected. I will fight for our right to continue, and hope that you can be on my side as you regain your own footing.

The passion is still there, even the intrusive thoughts hide it from your reach. You'll make it through and kick major ass again, I know it. We're with you. 🫂

This week's One Piece chapter is both beautiful and tragic.

It's also confirmation bias for Townseek, going about all the good that can come from learning from others' cultures.

3 Huion tablets at my disposal. The 20 inch one that's been malfunctioning, the 13 one that a friend lent me to continue working on Townseek, while waiting for the 16 one to arrive.

I bought Terraria in 2012, and after last having played it 6 years ago, I have finally finished a playthrough. I'm glad to still be able to call it my favorite game of all time. 🌳

Anyone's got some tips to deal with an extended creative block or imposter syndrome? It's been eating me lately.

(Game's great, but it feels it's the only thing I've got going now...)
