I just made the first trailer for FrogBoy!
Making trailers is harder than it looks

A small pause and some sound effects make a huge difference ✨

I just got critical, specific feedback for my game from a random player. Players who love my game are great, but I can't overstate how grateful I am that someone who didn't like it so much took the time to explain in detail where I can improve. Thank you random player!

I found my current job through Work With Indies, it's a good place. If a company is posting there, they probably have some good people
I know it's a tough job market out there, but I realize not a lot of people who work in AA\AAA know about WorkWithIndies- but it's probably one of the best places to find off-the-beaten-path listings that you might not come across on LinkedIn.

Experimenting with a new TileSet by @zaebucca.itch.io
I really like his art, but I don't think I have time to do a full art overhaul to match it 😵‍💫

The initial FrogBoy prototype was in #UE5, but I "demade" it in Godot after realizing how long it would take to make the entire game in 3D
