Hire a ghost write specifically to write the freaky bits

Things that you'd think would be easy? Actually really hard. BUT, the thing you thought would be hard? Actually you were right it is also hard.

The thing you thought was so impossible the studio would go bankrupt if you attempted it? Someone did it by accident while off task fixing a pet peeve bug

The stuck in lobby bug I am currently perplexed by, but I have figure out why my previous patch didn't resolve the audio problem! I'm going to take another look tomorrow to see if I can figure out what's going on. I should hopefully have a few different improvements to push up with the fixes

Storm lol how old do you think millennials are??? The car bad, yes, but by the time we were born it was already basically the same as it is today. Stuff that came out in millennial generation are like: walkman, genome mapping, the graphics card, internet.

Actually turns out I forgot my laptop at the office so I will have to publish the update tomorrow 😩 I might be able to wrangle some people to test it in the AM though.

Yup I'll do some nominal testing when I get home today and if I don't see any showstoppers I'll push the update to Thunderstore where you can get it whenever. Then just let me know whether the sound issue is fixed tomorrow

Well I'm on Pacific so I can just send it before I go to bed and you can let me know tomorrow if something went horribly wrong 😌

I've got the changes done locally, but haven't had the time to find some buddies to test with. If you can test shortly after I push, I could send it whenever? I just would need to know that the bugfix worked and nothing else broke pretty soon after uploading the update.

Hey thanks for pinging me about this! I'm not sure why I'm not getting notifications on GitHub but that's a pretty straightforward fix that I can put in on Monday. I've been meaning to revisit the mod to fix issues with throwing and other actions that require first person aim.

Oh shit!! How much woke were you able to sneak in, comrade?

Come back when you feel like you can, but don't rush it. Burn-out is trauma. Recovery must be slow and intentional to heal properly.

I think you realistically have two options:

1. Work on very small things. Join game jam team and only work on your favorite parts, etc.

2. Step way back and approach it sideways. Find other creative outlets that are energizing. Work along a parallel track that you don't feel the need to force.

Also the remote variant of Global Game Jam is like 3 weeks

There's always Finish Your Game Jam in November! You don't actually have to finish a game

Yes they are called the PIGsquad summer slow jams and they just wrapped up for the summer :(

Broken clock, etc.
