Been extremely busy lately
I haven't posted about this much but I have been extremely busy, and my studio had layoffs a few weeks ago, and I'm trying to ship too many things at once, so I'm very tired and am working pretty much all the time, including in the evenings and on weekends. I have also had some confusing, upsetting illnesses recently - some pretty clearly due to stress. There was a period of time in October when I could not bike due to constantly feeling like I was about to throw up! It wasn't fun!
I've been posting on this blog every single day without much talking or thinking about it, mostly by keeping a long backlog of posts to run on the days when I am too busy to sit down for a moment to myself. It's very easy to queue up posts, and I've been on the internet a long time, so there are plenty of things I can think of to share. I'm hoping that I will soon break through and have some peace and be able to get on my bike again. Until that time, I may be posting things that are a bit... lower-effort? Maybe I'll be sharing a lot of YouTube videos. I hope you will still enjoy them.
I want to keep posting every day. It's time to myself, and it's not a burden if I'm enjoying it - which I am, when I have time to do it at all. If I'm not posting every day, it's probably because I am too busy for other reasons. I wish I was less busy. I'm hoping the holidays give me a bit of a reset.
I'm very grateful to have a network of friends in my life who can help me stay even-keeled, even when my life is just one big mad rush. I'm hopeful that I can get back out into the world soon, and make more. Until then, I'm trying to enjoy the writing and editing I have to do to get these games out into the world. It's not hard to enjoy - but it's an absolute fuck ton of work!
