I certainly don’t have the time to replay persona 5 but the OST does make me want to jump back into that world. Maybe a switch play through at some point 🤔

Pragmata completed 🙌. Had a lot of fun with it. The hacking + gun play worked really well and made it feel fresh. Diana was naturally super cute so had to find all the gifts 😂

Played and finished mixtape this weekend. Such a great game! The music and scenarios are so perfectly matched. Overall direction is really strong and brings you all the nostalgic feels ❤️ So naturally today’s soundtrack is 🎧:

I managed to pickup a bottle of Zaku Ludens while in Japan, almost didn’t because I wasn’t sure it would fit in my case. So glad I did the shop and buying experience was amazing. Always love to see people passionate about what they do. Thank you Motohashi Liquor Store 🙏

To paraphrase a friend: stay on the path, make good things. Indie has always flourished in the face of AAA distraction. Times are bad, but let others deskill, pivot to nonsense or chase impossible outcomes. People really like playing videogames. Suits forget that every 6 months or so.

This is a phenomenal resource that should be part of every game dev/studios library. If you haven’t seen this doc series already I highly recommend you check it out.

It probably took longer than it should have, but finally killed/deactivated X I stopped engaging or even using it ages ago to the point I had already deleted the app. Finally severed ties completely 😂

Robin hits on some good points here. While your job title might provide some vague idea of what you do it never quite gives the full picture. Having worked in design for various studios and held the same role in a lot of them the responsibilities always varied.

imo game development job titles make no sense in general: youtu.be/yWv4WHkDF0w?... Nobody knows the difference between UX design and product design, nevermind UI design. We cant even decide what a level designer does. Is it purely geometry and gameplay? Or also env art? Or also visual script??

2025 was pretty fun. Travel, BAFTAs and more gaming music concerts. Finally visited Japan 🇯🇵 and made a quick trip to Italy 🇮🇹 Professionally shipped another game, a content update and got promoted at work. All in all a pretty good year 🙌
