Prooobably Untitled Story but it'd be like a full redo with similar ideas/starting point, rather than a faithful re-creation

For me: Don't scroll social media & don't put that youtube video or podcast on in the background. It can be hard & I'm bad about it sometimes too, but those constant tiny dopamine hits make it so hard for me to be creative. Become comfortable with stillness, its part of the process

If the problem is finishing things, I'd think small. Maybe go from a 2 minute game to a ~6 hour game next? Then a weekend game, one week game, etc

I've always learned best by doing. Making games/levels, releasing them, and reflecting on what worked and what didn't

I get a lot of joy out of watching people die after collecting a heart in the B-/C-Sides lol. I am so glad I specifically made sure that you could still die in that state (you originally couldn't)

Part of the reason why we don't want to return to it yet is that we don't know the answer to this question!

We are interested in working in 3D again, but I don't think we would do it as a Celeste game. I could see us returning to Celeste eventually, but for the near future we want to create new worlds.
