Working on a tutorial section for the demo update!

Demo update is gonna be delayed a lil bit ;~;
Starting to feel a lil burnt out. I'm gonna power through to get this update done by the middle of August, then take some time off. Maybe go through my backlog of indie gems.

Got through a rough patch in my life by playing this segment every morning for a month straight. Helped to always start the day on such an energizing, empowering note.
To this day my desktop wallpaper is still:
I'm glad to live in a world where games like these exist ๐Ÿค

Another game moment special to me:

After Madeline learns to accept all parts of herself.

It's called
