What bugged me most about yesterday’s Japan State of Play wasn’t the lineup — totally focused on the local market with no big reveals 🇯🇵🎮
What really pissed me off was that the new monitor is only coming out in the USA and Japan! 😤🖥️💢

🧵 My first impressions as an indie dev across different platforms:
🎮 itch.io — Too much NSFW and low-quality stuff, but also tons of valuable gems. Takes time to find interesting profiles, yet the feed keeps getting better. Haven’t even posted my own devlogs yet.

💻 Trying out Zed IDE — should I test it with Godot, Unity, or both? 🤔
Both projects are small, so I might not feel that “blazing speed,” but let’s see if it surprises me.
Been on VS Code forever (still using Sublime hotkeys 😅).

🧠Already working on the third project for my game.
1️⃣ Database editor.
2️⃣ Huge messy prototype full of ideas.
3️⃣ A clean-code version focused on a tiny, solid core.
🎯The goal: keep it small and playable —because the messy one keeps growing endlessly😅
