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 lesson did dev teach you the hard way? #Devruary Expect the unexpected.
That "quick fix" will take 5 hours. That "simple feature"? A week. An engine update? Congrats, something broke. Always expect chaos. Plan for chaos. Embrace chaos.

What advice would you give a new dev? #Devruary START. SMALL.

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!
What’s the biggest dev mistake you’ve made? #Devruary Not leaving doomed projects sooner, skipping version control early on, and... GetComponent() in Update().
I wasn't born a coding genius, okay?? And I guess we've all been there, right?? ...RIGHT??

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.
