For years I thought the problem was motivation.
Or discipline. Now I know it’s the mental friction that builds up over time. And nobody teaches us how to deal with it.
Does this resonate with you?

This is what 1,5 years of solo development looks like. 18 months of looking at my hand-drawn space station and creating a game :) For me it's amazing how you can make a game starting from one sheet of paper.

I’ve released a few games solo - board games and video games. None were perfect. Finishing them taught me more than any tutorial. How was your experience? Tell me a little about yourself! #gamedev #indiedev #solodev #gamewriting #mentalhealth

Une boucle temporelle de 23 minutes dans une station spatiale ? Ça rappelle quelque chose. En tout cas, @cactussinger.bsky.social à apprécier cette aventure spatio-temporelle de @kovalgames.bsky.social
malgré quelques points inhérents à un one man game.

Forgotten 23 – Παγιδευόμαστε σε μία παράξενη λούπα στο νέο Sci-Fi Adventure!
Το Forgotten 23 αναπτύσσεται από το στούντιο KovalGames και θα κυκλοφορήσει στο Steam από την indie.io. Πηγή έμπνευσης είναι τα μυθιστορήματα του Stanisław Lem.…
