I got such a nostalgia from this ❤️. I'm now 9 months into a similar journey, staking my own path. I have learned so much. 🧠 No regrets. #indiedev #solodev #gamedev
I have just quit my job to pursue my dream of becoming a fulltime game developer 😊

Now this is huge! 😍
Re-Logic is very interested and supportive of this new direction for @MonoGameTeam - an open source project with so much potential. After our announcement earlier this week, we had many people asking us whether or not we would also choose to support Monogame.

Myself on a hike. Challenged myself today to a face, only two layers, and only one brush. Piece by piece I'll learn how to paint! 👀 #digitalart #krita #hiking

Howdy #PitchYaGame 👋 In Horticular you have been magically summoned by mysterious gnomes to restore a long-lost garden. Attract adorable animals, build a lush environment, and immerse yourself in this relaxing garden-builder. #PixelArt #Gaming #IndieGame

I'm the worst at the travel mini-game. Obsessing over all the details so I don't forget anything.

Just back from a local meet-up. Feels good to meet other game devs now and then, getting out of "the office"! 😊 #solodev #indiedev

The first salary slip of @inDirectionHQ has gone out. Odd feeling to be the one sending it, I must say! 😅

A stressful week with the first demo of @HorticularGame going out. But having the public playing for the first time makes it worth it! 💛 Time to plan 2023... #indiedev #gamedev #solodev

Today, I met up with local people in the games industry through @swedengamearena. Super fun to be invited and partake in. The impostor syndrome is real! 😬 #solodev #gamedev #indiedev

So much time spent on getting ready for this one thing: revealing my game! 🥵 But I'm really proud that I got through a slow summer and now can focus on the road to release! 😍 nitter.gq/inDirectionHQ/status/1… #indiedev #solodev #gamedev
Did you ever dream of helping magical gnomes reclaim a long-lost garden by attracting adorable animals? 🌱🐸✨ Well, my upcoming garden-builder 'Horticular' *finally* is public! 😍🎊 Wishlist on Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/1… #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame #game #ゲーム制作

How can it be so hard to return from a #vacation? Also, I had forgotten how lovely vacation is! 😍 Fortunately, a public #holiday is coming right up and I'll make the most of it. 😏 #solodev

Just took the plunge and migrated to Google #Workspaces from my duct-tape approach. Totally worth the ease-of-mind! ☺
Taxes declared! Exactly on the date for getting an early refund. With 3 hours to spare. Efficient or lazy? 😏
Filing for a trademark is the scariest thing I've done (hyperbole? 🤔). An important step that, if it fails, can potentially set your schedule back. Time is one thing I don't have! 😅 #solodev #trademark

Took an extra long weekend. I guess it is time to get back to it! ⌨ #solodev
