The stigma on mobile games and 'innovation, are fashion/dressmaking games that innovative you have to copy it(from pc)& name the ref game in a job ad? To pay 'minimum wage' for artists to work on a copycat project? #observation #mobilegame
The endless posts of "I made this with ai" posts. I need a new place for my hats, so the stubborn hatter starts from scratch. Remember this? The ancient process of white/grey-boxing, it taught me about designing spaces in 3D🎩 #indiedev #madeinunreal #vtuber #ゲーム制作 #devlife

🍵The Game Dev’s Brew: The Handcrafted Stranger People ask why I didn’t just prompt The Wordy Hatter into existence. Why hand craft a persona? 🎩 #gamedev #indiedev #solodev #TheWordyHatter #madeinunreal #vtuber #個人開発 #ゲーム制作 #獨立遊戲 #devlife

If only hatter were a modern occupation. Since that’s no longer a common calling, I started my career designing footwear instead. That led me to 3D. And eventually, back to games. A detour, perhaps. But the hands never changed. 🎩 TWH
