Losing Steam & Informed Pessimism | Stand-up Week 23-24

Bumpy roads

Hey there,

In this audio log, I unpack the latest milestones and missteps in developing our 2D side-scrolling strategy game. From refining core mechanics after the last playtest to the excitement of onboarding a composer, there’s plenty of progress to celebrate.

But it’s not all good news. I talk candidly about hitting a creative wall, grappling with the game’s bigger-picture direction, and lack of publisher interest. It’s a raw look at what it’s like to keep going when your energy’s running low, and the finish line feels further away than ever.
