Calling it now - Joris is going to have massive success with his next game. All his brilliant work over the years on procedrual generation wrapped in a more forgiving and thoughtful (pacing and player mindset) game model. Can’t wait to see it all come together!

Played 4 hours of Cast n Chill. You fish for cash, unlock new lures, rods, boats or locations. You upgrade things. You match lures and rod size to specific fish. The fishing mechanics are great.
A nice vibe and it's gorgeous to look at and spend time in.

That's Bionic Bay bested. Some proper jaw-clenching eye of the needle platforming in places, but generally a great time. Introduces a mechanic in the last couple of levels I'd liked to have played with for longer, but better that than anything outstaying its welcome.

There is a lot of noise about game development but it comes down to one thing.
Make something that resonates with players.
Your only concern is to entertain people and create indelible memories. Never forget that when you're in the weeds. #gamedev #indiegames #gamedeveloper
