How do you deal with burnout? #Devruary

Honestly? I just... step away. Stop coding.

The irony is that as a game dev, I rarely have time to actually PLAY games anymore. So when burnout hits, I try to play games that are nothing like what I'm developing.

What's your favorite game that does a lot with a simple idea? #GJAsks Say No! More! The game is literally just pressing one button to yell "NO!" at your coworkers, and somehow that's one of the most cathartic and hilarious experiences I've ever had!

#Devruary What engine are you using in your current game? Unity! It has been my go-to tool for years now. It gets the job done and I know my way around it pretty well. But if Godot keeps walking by with that big open-source energy... 👀

Happy #WIPWednesday! Are you working on a game? Making some art? Practicing a song? Something else? Tell us in the comments!

Decided to give an old model a new life with some fresh renders! This is a model I originally made back in 2016 for a university project in Maya, and now it's glowing up with the power of the open-source gods (thanks, Blender 🙏). #3DArt #Blender

I drew this comic, not just as a way to help remind myself of my goals, this goes out to everyone who’s ever held themselves back and felt like they’re not good enough or prepared to follow their dreams. 🌟 #comic

#GJAsks Hide and Shriek deserves SO much more attention! I'm not the type to play multiplayer games, but GOD I can't stress enough how much fun I had playing this game. The concept and the gameplay itself are so simple, but they work SO. FREAKING. WELL.

Which game dev inspires you most? #Devruary

Scott Cawthon. The man took a simple mechanic and iconic characters and created a CULTURAL PHENOMENON.

Don't agree with everything he stands for, but his creativity as a dev is undeniable.

How Do You Usually Plan A Game Dev Project? #Devruary First, I dump ideas into a paper notebook like a game dev from the stone age. Then I tame the chaos using draw.io, Hack'n'Plan, and Notion. This pipeline works pretty well for me!
