yo any recs for places to listen to music online? Spotify does not pay their artists and youtube keeps trying to get me addicted to Shorts.

Or maybe I should just buy some music and only listen to stuff I've bought like an adult

Hell yeah, I tried Godot in 2024 and haven't looked back. It just feels way more fun to work in. I think it's because of how laser focused on gamedev it is, and FAST

Letters Past on Steam Play as a postman delivering the words of others over an ancient mountain path. Journal your observations, think on the world around you and consider how your own voice fits into it all.

My friend @forestherd.bsky.social released the Steam for their game Letters Past. You play as a cute postman on a journey to deliver a letter

Played an early version and it was super goooood, do check it out & wishlist if you like bite-sized narrative games 😊 store.steampowered.com/app/4248270/...

I relate to this, I'm planning to buy a lil CD player in an attempt to make my brain appreciate albums in their entirety more. Streaming makes it way too easy to just put something on in the bg.

Currently bracing myself for Drill Birds release in November. I've found that making games demands so much love and work, that the ego will never be happy regardless of reception.

I'm trying to focus more on having fun in the process and seeing releasing games as a sometimes painful bonus😅

How do you feel about AMAZE? I've only been once in like 2019 but I thought it was gooooood

For my last game I had a tiny discord channel together with friends where I posted progress, TODOs and pictures. posting publicly on the internet messes with my creativity but it's nice to have a lil group of nerds that can pat you on the back 😌

I've held the talk three times for audiences composed of gamedevs and have received pretty positive feedback - if you enjoy making stuff but would like some tips for how to finish it, do give it a listen! :)
