Hi. I sent you a private message through X, but I figured you probably don't use X very often. Could you take a look at it? Thank you in advance.
Unfortunately, Bluesky doesn't let me send you a private message.

Grzegorz Bednorz @grzegorz-bednorz.bsky.social · Aug 19

Also, in 3 weeks, Matthew VanDevander will release a long podcast in which I interview him.

Grzegorz Bednorz @grzegorz-bednorz.bsky.social · Aug 19

Taiji’s 3rd anniversary is just 3 weeks away, so I've released a music & ambience video from Taiji's Orchard.

🎉 Announcement 🎉
A Little Perspective's demo will be part of the Cerebral Puzzle Showcase (@puzzleshowcase.bsky.social) on Steam, starting May 29!

I'll likely drop it a bit earlier (i.e. the weekend before), so I have time to fix any last issues before the event :) Stay tuned!
