Looks great! I am following this with a lot of excitement 😀

I have always wanted to create (and play) a game where you grow a tree similar to this. Will play this when I can, and might one day create a 🌲 growing game 💚
I'm excited to announce my new game: Treeplanter 💚

Discover the magic of trees! Create a peaceful interactive woodland! Watch as it evolves through the changing seasons 🌱🍃🍂🌳

As time goes by, an ecosystem of animals, plants and insects will make your creation their home 💚

I'm not sure which of you need to hear this, but:

If you push yourself to your limits and burn out for a company, you are trading years of your future productivity for minor gains in the present.

Burning out will _fuck you up_, it's like brain fog or depression, and it takes years to recover

My face is somewhere in there 🙂
And it's here!!! @gratchek.bsky.social, leveraging his phenomenal layout skills + what little free time he had outside of making video games, has created a Heart Machine Class of '25 face wall...powered by @notion.com .

Look at all these beautiful faces <3 from our team and community.

I absolutely adore this concept and the art style.

A couple of times every week my 3 year old currently wants me to read a book called "Rulla, rulla lilla nystan" ("Roll, roll little twine ball"), and it reminds me so much of this. Hopefully we can play Twine together 🧶

Here are some concepts for shops for the #HyperLightBreaker hub world. I used the drifter designs to influence these so they would all feel like part of the same world. The tile mural is a little nod to the beautiful pixel artwork done in Drifter. Next week, some enemy concepts! #ConceptArt #GameDev
