It's a competitive life simulator from '91. I played it a lot as a kid. It also happens to be a big inspiration for the game I’m working on now: Walk of Life.

Let me tell you more about it... 🧵

An angry goose! Its foot is in the air, charging at you, and that neck bends in the most awkward, most angriest way!

Nobody should have to deal with this monstrosity! But you sure can in our game Walk of Life, coming to Early Access tomorrow!

Look, it’s really straightforward to get a publisher as a new name indie in 2025. Simply do 95% of the work making and marketing your game, and if your metrics are trending towards almost certain success, a publisher will swoop in to promise the remaining 5%, deliver 3%, and collect 75%

Oof, tough choice...

My 2 years at the studio, and all my designs for Walk of Life, summed up in 33 seconds. Starring Buster Keaton, as me.

Getting back to writing blog posts! ✏️

It’s old content, a 4y.o twitter thread, lost when I fled the old place. I decided to bring it back to you.

Maybe you recall it? It was about stairs 🛕
