Bedtime reading Man and His Symbols - Carl Jung (1964)
Played The Binding of Isaac Repentance+ - Nicalis Inc. & Edmund McMillen (2024).
Consumed a little too much YouTube once again. I however saw a cool new game called CloverPit. Its a mix of Balatro and Inscryption but with a slot machine as its core mechanic. And yes its probably as addictive as a normal slot machine.

Bedtime reading Man and His Symbols - Carl Jung (1964) Interesting part of the book definitely is the primitive vs socialized way of thinking. The primitive way is more symbolic, artsy and creative, instead of the "socialized" way. Western society lost that way of thinking, so lost all the creative spirit they had.

I rewatched Rene Habermann's talk about What Games to Finish (which I saw live on DevCom 2025) and will make a blog post on my website, when its ready.

Bedtime reading Man and His Symbols by Carl Jung - 1964
Played The Finals - Embark Studios (2023). Sadly -like pretty much every multiplayer game- I've come to realize that I don't enjoy it alone. I currently only play it since I have the battlepass, which I received for free. Its interesting that it ALONE kept me motivated for a few days without playing with friends even though I despise games such as the Hoyo-Verse games. Guess im not as immune to such systems as I thought...

Currently also am trying to learn how to write dialogue for my upcoming game "Suffocation", so researching videos about it.

Watched Marketing is NOT Why Most Indie Games Fail.The video basically talks about how you should do market research before starting your project.
It also showcased the site: games-stats.com, which is an easy way to see competitors in the same gametype based on their revenue. It is an important site, since developers need to be on par to their competitors in every aspect possible.
I will probably make a blog post about game dev pre-production based on Rene Habermann's (primarily known for PVKK and Dome Keeper) approach and add a few little details I gathered along the way.
I also -sadly- spent way too much time on YouTube today.

Conciously listened to: Amen - Igorrr (2025).It is -like always- a great Igorrr album and hits all the spots I wanted. Unconventional instruments, unusual ways he created & enhanced sounds and ofc heavy as fuck. Whoever is interested in the unconventional sounds: go watch the making ofs of the albums! Behind The Scenes of 'Amen'.Making of SPIRITUALITY AND DISTORTION.The Making of Savage Sinusoid
