Keep doing creative stuff.
Even if it feels like it sucks and it's not good.
Just do it.
Even if the world is falling apart.
Just keep doing stuff.
Show the world there's still something worth being there for.

Seriously if someone ever brings up AI to me in a business meeting ever again I'm afraid I'm just going to unload *all* my fucking feelings on the matter.

Support Devs that don't use AI, help all you can with Indie folks from Buying, sharing and reviewing. Fuck the industry getting gutted.

My next adventure is #TowardDawn, a #jrpg billed as a werewolf romance drawn from Welsh mythology. Released back in May by solo dev @deviserene.bsky.social , it seems to have flown under the radar. Let's crack it open and see what's what! #indiegames

This might be the most prominent Welsh mythology-inspired game on the horizon that I can think of.
