A Game About Feeding A Black Hole has grossed half a million during the 1st month and that amount still blows me away.

So I wanted to take a moment to reflect upon what's changed and what hasn't with me, my life, and my game dev journey.

This is part two of a new series that follows along the various things Thornity and I are doing to release our next game(s) by August.

I am also trying to then give advice for what to do/think about if this is your first time releasing a game.

My creative brain loves all of my games, but then as I look at the failed projects I think of them as a business.

Both brains can be right about what to do next, but it's in that tension where I find the optimal decisions usually comes to the surface.

New Scope Creepers podcast where I chat with a professional poker play and game dev.

I loved learning about his perspective on the intersections of the two things that on the surface don't seem all the related.

I sat down with Payne Robinson to chat about his recently released game Execute, coming up with game ideas, and using constrains and deadline to execute (pun intended) game ideas.

I don't typically like handing out unsolicited advice, but in case you want it.. here's what I recommend you do this year to actually release a game on Steam.

2025 ended with A Game About Feeding A Black Hole blowing past my wildest exceptions and now my solo studio is funded for the next 4 years!?

Which begs the question, now what?

A question I've been pondering this week.. was the successful launch of A Game About Feeding a Black Hole a stroke of Luck or was it Skill?

Shoot for the moon, even if you miss you’ll be sucked in by a Black Hole.

We just released A Game About Feeding A Black Hole with an incredible 44k Wishlists! I hope you enjoy the game as mush as I enjoyed making it. Cheers!

This feels like a pretty big moment for me. A few months ago I didn't think I'd have a game on the Popular Upcoming list anytime soon.

But we did it!

I want to take a moment to share a strange feeling I've been having.

Confidence.

There are always so many reasons why we shouldn't do something, and while there are some pretty loud voice out there, I think the loudest voice in my head is actually my own.

I'm trying to get out of my way and learn to feel that I am good enough.
