There is a set of choices that you can make that lead to a million dollars!

I am making choices with my adventure to build and release more games. The challenge I face is building my next game in 100 days... Let's see if this leads to $1,000,000

Then I'd be rich!

Shoot me a key if you want me to play it on Twitch during Monday. Looks fun! I do stream mostly to developers, racing game focused, and I'll dive into dev aspects while exploring and have fun doing it!

The IGDA has started to use "IGDAF" to describe themselves and I read it as IDGAF *every time.* It stands for the international game developers association foundation, but I really think they might want to reconsider the F on the end there.

Today is the first.

For me, that is pay day. Unlike a normal payday this one sucks. It means I move money from my runway into an account where it disappears by the end of the month only to repeat the process.

Someday I hope my runway grows. This is the challenge I am faced with. Grow thy runway.

Well I'm not the only one. I don't have the photo anymore but had a few slices just like that in my last loaf. Didn't make a very good donut either.

I built my own prefab system, the hard way. Similar to what Unity has, and wrote about the challenges and techniques used to solve the problems.

Ever start to create something and think "I'll release this in a few days"...

Then 6 months later still working while wondering when you'll actually be done?

This is how I feel about technical articles I'm writing.

Same, it makes so much sense to think about sound as "stylistic" and I've never thought of it that way myself (non-audio dev).

I actually wonder how many audio designers ACTUALLY consider this. I'd bet the greats do, but is probably overlooked by many.
