The games industry is mentally exhausting in every aspect. Studying, trying to get a job, maintaining skills, managing workload when getting said job, getting laid off… all of it is so damaging.

We need significant change.

Good luck!

So cute 😭

So pretty!!

Feeling productive today. Time to get started on the next journey.

One of the best game ever created!

Thanks!!

It is great to hear that you don't have regrets! I understand the concerns about failure, but I think it is probably healthy to have that in the back of your mind to keep you focused and motivated for the journey. I really do appreciate your words. Your project looks awesome! :)

I appreciate your perspective on it! Totally understand it’s going to be a lot of hard work… Do you ever regret your decision to take that “leap”? I feel like I am going to be filled with regret unless I atleast give it a go.

I would really like to chat with people who have taken the step to start their own studio, I wanna hear the good, the bad and the ugly. I think it would really help my current headspace.

I appreciate any time you can spare, my DMs are open 🫶

I have the urge to do something incredibly chaotic, I just haven't decided what it is or the scale of that decision yet.

I hope you are holding up ok? Thanks for sharing your experience. I’m hoping the feeling passes soon 🫶

I’ve never felt more undervalued and unappreciated in my entire life lmfao.

I know it has happened to so many people but holy shit, I put my whole soul into my job.

Got laid off today, lots of thoughts in my head. Anger, confusion, sadness & regret!

Me every time I decide to work on new features.

Epic!! ☝🏼

So cute! ✨

I think it’s when it goes live on the store :)

This looks awesome, so smooth!

Happy New Year 🥳

Let’s make great decisions this year.

Thanks Des, I appreciate that.

It certainly sneaks up on you.

I thought I’d handled burnout before, but recent months proved me wrong. I got stuck in a cycle of working and sleeping, feeling like I wasn’t moving forward and my mental health was crumbling. I stepped back, reassessed, and started making healthier choices. It’s slow, but I’m moving again.

Congrats! :)

It feels really good when you realise you dodged a bullet....

My heart goes out to you and the whole team. Getting the chance to work on the Metal Hellsinger franchise was truly career defining for me, and I’ll always be grateful to you and everyone involved for that opportunity by creating such a masterpiece.

I can’t wait to see what you all create next.

Congrats!

Glad you got a refund but still totally unacceptable that you had to go through that :(

Overpriced trains with AWFUL service.
