My Name is Jack

Don't really know how to stick the landing on a random post like this lmao. I'm just ready to hit the ground running tomorrow and make my contributions to this update a firm achievement in nightmare crafting. So here we go. Boo.

I've been a firm believer that WK is a byproduct of our hard work and talent, with a bit of luck that we made ourselves. My earliest bets regarding the games success were "it might pay the bills for a month, that would be cool." It's been refreshing to have my expectations surpassed in a good way.

PAX West 25 is an event that is going to be a period of time in my life that will be hard to top. A lot of pipe dream tier items happened just in this past week, and it's a kind of unreal feeling. Attending PAX at all and seeing our game at GDQ were things thought of as "Cool but not likely".

There were so many great moments from PAX West this year, but having the devs there for the @gamesdonequick.com White Knuckle run was way, way up there.

ITS THE RABBITS. FROM THE HATS. ALL PULLED.

I have pulled a plurality of rabbits from a plurality of hats since I made this post.

There's an interesting thing I've had to grapple with when it comes to the creative process. Most of my output has just been wallowing in the instability and weirdness of being in your 20's, and now that is largely less apparent (not factoring in the political climate lmao)

Ended the week on a very pleasant note. Now it's time to go back to submerging myself in hours of dark and gritty industrial music to help pull a rabbit or two out of a hat for work.

Its gotten so bad in the last month oh god.

Finally at a place in my work where I can clean up my space and post a cool photo of my desk and pretend I'm working more than I actually am! Yay!

I didn't realize we were sharing such intimate details about the game on here.

Also, she was dead serious about recording this yesterday.
