A friendly reminder: back up your data! Use a cloud, or a service, or an external, whatever you need, but make backups. Luckily, our system is well constructed, so when the HDD failed, very little was impacted.

Less than 24 hours until Silksong's release, and Steam has yet to allow me to throw money at Team Cherry... I will never stop laughing at how this game disregarded EVERY marketing strategy and still pulls out ahead. Way to go though, since the best strategy is to make a good game!

Looks like it's already time for the Nintendo Switch 2 Midnight release. Hanging out at Gamestop and just waiting for the clock to strike 12 EST. You know.... to stress test the system's capabilities. Ya, it's science! #PhantomPhoenix #Nintendo

Yep, hanging out at #GameStop waiting for #Nintendo Switch 2 pre-order. Sometimes market research is great! #PhantomPhoneix

Picked up #BluePrince on #Steam and I have to say, it is a brilliantly crafted puzzle game! Hats off to Tonda Ros for crafting a game that let's you know, just as you think you're getting one puzzle, that you're still so far from understanding the big picture. Check it out! #PhantomPhoenix

Nintendo Switch 2, you say? Yep, take my money! I would consider it a massive success if Phantom Phoenix titles were playable on the Switch 2... so here's to diving down that rabbit hole! #PhantomPhoenix #Nintendo #GameDev

I can't be the only one that settles in with a nice bowl of popcorn for a good Nintendo Direct, right? "New" old life goal: get my game on the Switch 2! #PhantomPhoenix #IndieDev #Nintendo

I wish I had more "rockstar" news to share for the #GameDev, but the true reality is I have a VERY pretty spreadsheet. While not all game dev aspects are showy, there is no substitute for doing the homework, so don't be shy about the admin. This is the process. #PhantomPhoenix #SoloDev

The studio is coming along nicely, and finishing touches like the logo have just come in. Hold tight for an announcement on when we will be starting the YouTube channel, and then we can meet face to face... on the channel! So many announcements to come! #PhantomPhoenix #GameDev #SoloDev

Today, the business taxes got done, officially cementing the fact that game design is not "all fun and games". Some puns are worth working for. #PhantomPhoenix #SoloDev #GameDev #GameDesign

To all the #GameDev: if you touched a game today or thought of what you're going to do next: you're doing great. Truly, none of us hear it enough, but keep up the good work. Great design may take time, and daily progress may not shine, but each day stack upon the next. #PhantomPhoenix #SoloDev

Hey #GameDev, I know that at some point, Imposter Syndrome can be overwhelming. Just remember: nobody knew anything until they had to learn it, like you. If the final product functions, you are not a fake. Don't worry about what other people do, focus on your journey. #PhantomPhoenix #SoloDev
