My first title, Little Rocket Lab, has now been out for a week, and it's been huge for myself and @nomorerobots.io. We're at over 80,000 players, and a 93% positive rating on steam.

I wanted to share some of what guided Little Rocket Lab's development, so that maybe it could be helpful to others 🧵:

The limited edition of Abraxia: Spear of the Everchosen is out today! Cover art by Valera Lutfullina, treatment by the Black Library team. Words about awful people making each other worse by me.

The voices are back 😖🔨

I’m going to start referring to my migraines as ‘The Voices’. *Especially* with my doctor.

Autistic burnout is utter bollocks. I am ready to give up on engineering and become a forest dweller. Or I would be if I thought I’d last five minutes with all that nature touching me.

Mario Kart 8 has this sweet distortion effect when you click the UI, here is me attempting the same with the Scene Color Node in Unity Shader Graph. Need to figure out the 2D version next. ✨🌈 #vfx #gamedev
