We have had this blanket for a long time and every time I look at this little blue guy I keep thinking to myself he's going to be the main character in the next pixel art game I make.

What should his name be??

And by don't do taxes - I mean they don't charge sales tax. I'm sure they do their own taxes ๐Ÿ˜…

The Pipeline is now on Itch! Hey everyone! I have recently incorporated my business (it's now Michael Jared Software, so not too different... it's still me!), but now I have to do fun things like accounting and taxes. Unfortunate...

A little write-up on why I need to move away from the Blender Market. It's been a great platform but unfortunately they don't do taxes... a boring topic, but maybe might help some people understand why I'm moving to Gumroad + itch

Sometimes weird/glitchy things are the best and should honestly be left in

It was genuinely an awesome experience! There were over 1100 unique players, with our biggest day having over 450 concurrent players. Players also graded the game 4.2/5, which I am super happy with for such an early build. 80 players plaid the game for 3+ hours!
