I play lesser-known video games on YouTube.
I enjoy finding small projects with relaxing vibes and interesting narrative or gameplay.

I am convinced that my moments of high motivation are directly correlated to the impossibility of being able to perform the task. Currently super motivated to record the next set of videos but I'm meeting a friend for lunch in too short a time window to get started.

Obviously early stages in puzzle games are just to teach mechanics, but this game is going to ramp up pretty quickly, I can feel it! I've already felt super rewarded when solving some of these. Cute game with great polish. Check it out!

This game is SO cool! Space pirate ship combat and exploration combined with text based decisions with a D&D-adjacent "definitely not a dice-roll" system where your choices affect how the rest of the game plays out. I'm having a blast!

What's the slowest way to make a video game?
Next to stop motion probably frame-by-frame animation.
We did it anyway. Here is an animation sketch
and then how it looks in game!
