Like the whiteboard says in the PS: ignore or run away from the things inside the cinema. In this both cases, it literally means ignore them, bacause as you said, you can’t run. After a little more than 10 seconds, you can stand up and everything goes away.

I have this one from the poster anomaly, which I think could be good for a thumbnail

No, sorry, not at the moment. For now this is just a side hobby for me next to my fulltime job, and that’s why I want to keep it as simple as possible, so I can really enjoy it. Working with more people always adds extra complexity to manage, which I currently don't want to add.

When I’m not developing games, working, or doing other stuff, I like to paint from time to time. This one’s called “Unfold Nr. 7.”

Totally true, I was just frustrated this morning, but after letting it out and focusing back on the good things. I can now go back to fun game developing

Struggle Games @strugglegames.bsky.social · 20d

Three weeks after game release, the negative reviews started to get more, what would be fine or could even help me, but with no feedback/criticism, just “it’s bad.” or less.

Nothing to learn from, nothing to improve or reflect about… Kinda sucks.

Sometimes you miss the obvious 🌳
A friend asked how my new game is doing... Pretty good!
Then he asked if I sell both my Anomaly games as a bundle… and I was like... bruuuh
So yeah, you can now get both games together in a Steam bundle!

Look Mama, Steam recommended my own game to me on the front page! 🍿

Sure, I know it does that because I’m super connected to it, but it’s still so cool to see my game in the same place where I’ve seen so many other amazing games! 🖤
