Randomly got a steam invite last night, checked and it was to play Peak from a guy I hadn't talked to in well over 10 years! Was confused but happy, ended up catching up while playing and it made my night!
We were completely different people last we spoke, glad who we are now are still friends. 😁

Me and three of my friends won the student video game award category at the European Conference on Game Based Learning for our game "Monkey Business" yesterday! We developed it two summers ago but fun to see it still come up here and there! 🥳
It seems like I can only make Serious Games now LOL

After more than 7 years of development with nothing to show for it, Riot cancels the Minecraft-inspired sandbox RPG Hytale and closes the studio making it
Riot acquired Hypixel Studios in 2020, but its anticipated sandbox RPG never materialized.

In Düsseldorf to meet my lovely friends I met in FFXIV and go to the FFVII Rebirth orchestra!
So far I got greeted by the devil himself at the airport but at least I had a wonderful Schnitzel afterwards.
