Thanks! I'm feeling much more relaxed already. 😀

Thank you!

Sorry for the lack for updates recently. The job interview process had me pretty stressed, and I honestly needed a bit of a break from the indie stuff as well. I'll see how my new schedule shakes out.

Tom Voros @tom.voros.ca · 1d

Haha cool. That's encouraging though!

Tom Voros @tom.voros.ca · 1d

Thanks, Gordon!

I started a new job as a programmer at Blackbird Interactive! Really happy to be joining a very friendly team over there working on a cool project. 😄

I'm not sure what this will mean for Pinball Spire and other indie projects but I'd like to try to continue working on that stuff as well!

Very cool! How's the audio latency?

Likewise! Good luck on the award. It would be amazing if you won!

Tom Voros @tom.voros.ca · 16d

Congratulations, Starling!! 🎉👏 I'll be rooting for you to win! What an amazingly cool thing to happen!

Tom Voros @tom.voros.ca · 16d

Huge congratulations to @starlingoboe.itch.io for her nomination in the Best Music for a Video Game category in the Australian Screen Music Awards! Hiring Starling for the Pinball Spire soundtrack was one of the best decisions I made on the project. Very well deserved! 🥳

Be careful... it makes time disappear like crazy. 😆

Tom Voros @tom.voros.ca · 16d

Awesome work!

Tom Voros @tom.voros.ca · 18d

See if @teamcherry.bsky.social will let you put Sherma in your game!

Also, a praying mantis would be cool. 😛

I absolutely love Banished! It's very much a cozy game for me too. It got me into the whole genre of city-builder / management sims but I haven't found too many other games that hit the same way with its chill vibes and lack of combat. Timberborn is pretty close though. 😄
