Started building a series of small, focused visual novels.

This is everything I learned from The Forbidden Cellar. Now, I have closure.

I'll rework and release it on Steam in the future. For now, I'm done.

Thanks for reading! I hope you got something out of it.

Now, onto my next project.

Compress lessons into Tweets.

This thread forced me to extract the value from my messy postmortems and share the value in as few characters as possible. It's tough.

Cutting filler makes you sharper. You become a better writer.

Long-form is easy. Short-form is hard.

After releasing a game, it might not always feel good, especially if not a lot of people see it or give feedback. Feelings can come up, like doubting the game is good, letting teammates down, did I waste my time, etc.

I wrote out my experiences with this.
