As a visual artist, you start with a blank canvas. But once you become a solo dev, that canvas turns into a grid-based something. What's your take on that?

From water to land and back again - that's the flow in Shallow Pond 😊💦

That big huggable robot will play an important role in Shallow Pond. What do you think his purpose is?

Weird real-life experiment: If you happen to be at #gamescom2025 and you run into someone wearing this shirt on • Wednesday •, say hi 👋 - it's me 😁. Would love to chat!

Those having followed me for longer might remember this one 😁

How often do you encounter bugs that are actually fun to work with? Asking because bugs tend to come back whenever they like to 😬😊

Thank you!

Do you have parts of your game that ended up being tackled way later than expected - even though they’re core to the experience?

Still not 100% done with the waterfall, but I’m glad it’s finally in.

Thank you, cool that you spotted it 😊. Well, those gamers you describe need to change their minds, of course 😁😉
