Today ICE went into a daycare & arrested a teacher in front of children.
This is a book teachers shared w/ us that I’ll be reading to my 5 yr old. I’m angry I live in a world where I have to do this.
Everydays a mental battle of watching my community be under duress. I hope ICE burns one day.

It has been very satisfying finishing up Big Hops and I’m SO excited for people to see the full game.
The team went crazy on every axis and the art, tech, level design, story, gameplay, and audio really adds to something much more than the sum of its parts.
