Hugely annoying UI/UX work today:
Working on nameInput, and character selection (male/female appearance). Will probably wrap that up tomorrow. But these tasks are also the very final hard puzzle pieces that I gotta put in place, so it's fine.🥹
So very, very close now ...

Credits are a WRAP! 👀
They are also being displayed if you manage to beat the game, in a more "beautiful" kind of way. This here is the skimmed down WoT-version, that's available from the Main Menu (crawl speed has been doubled for the video):

This is, hands down, the most beautiful and inspiring video on the topic of (Solo) #gameDev I have ever seen!
Been following Tim until he disappeared from the scene, and now I couldn't be happier to learn that he's back. He really does provide the most humble, based #gameDev advice out there! 💙

We need to kill the worship of efficiency.
We have two news channels instead of hundreds of thousands of papers and outlets. More efficient? Absolutely. And it's terrible.
Doctor's offices that are all video? Very efficient. Super shitty.
Efficiency is the enemy. We're so scared of friction.

Buy a book.
Any book, it doesn't matter which. The one you've been looking forward to, the one with the title that made you laugh, the weighty award-winner you've been meaning to get to. Whatever.
Treat yourself. Step away from it all. In this time of gross ignorance & madness, read something.

I am jobless at the moment, taking some time to reflect about my place in this industry and refining my skills.
The good thing is that usually a new cycle starts with a new year.
Let's hope that is a great one.
