Something genuinely kinda sad about becoming a game developer is that I find it really hard to just play games for fun anymore...
To those that have been around these parts longer than I have, does that go away?
Like have you learned to separate playing games for work and playing for yourself?

Canada made weird tv shows because it was all being done with government funded art grant money so they fell in this wacky middle ground between “shoestring budget” and “no expectation to generate shareholder value” which is really the best way to make art

Starting a new project is always so exciting!
Got a system together this morning that generates a grid of random tiles that you can mouse over and interact with.
Could be the start of a puzzle game who knows? 👀
