I've been making a game for over a year and have gone through six programmers. The last one did most of the work, then left. I've had enough. From now on, I'm coding it myself. I'll share my progress and setbacks here🔽

I want to share album that forever changed my life. This music taught me to look at things and life from an entirely different perspective. I recommend it to everyone who seeks in art not just entertainment, but unvarnished truth, even if it’s bitter at times.

Every person has music that profoundly shaped their worldview, nurtured them, and brought clarity to their life. There are many such artists, of course, but I’ll start with Yegor Letov: open.spotify.com/track/3DM3hu...

I watched Sergei Parajanov’s "Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors" for the first time and am utterly stunned, above all by how deeply he delved into Ukrainian folklore. Every frame radiates his effort to grasp the essence of the Ukrainian people, weaving a magnificent synergy between visuals and music.

My favorite way to relax is a walk. I cross the whole city to reach what I believe is “the best place on earth.”

I can sit there for hours, listening to music, sorting out my thoughts, and simply enjoying life. Everyone should have a place where they can feel at one with nature.

This is a very old abandoned fountain. The photo was taken in September 2024.

A magical forest. I always have the feeling that if you go in there, you will find yourself in a fairyland.

I’m amazed at how David Lynch conveyed human loneliness in S3E13. The final shot—Ed standing alone at his gas station—is pure genius. Such simple imagery, yet so powerful. In that moment, I felt completely connected to him.

Due to the passing of David Lynch, I decided to rewatch Twin Peaks. I am still fascinated by the character Albert Rosenfield and his great words, which embody the power of love:🔽

It seems to me that game developers don’t talk much about movies. Yet, they are a fantastic source of inspiration for creating games. Do you have any movies that inspired you to make a game? I’ll start🔽

I decided to study Python to tighten up my basic programming knowledge. Because it can be hard for me to work in the Godot. I chose an interesting course from MOOC: programming-23.mooc.fi
Do you think it's the right decision?

I've been hearing about the amazing soundtrack in Tarantino's movies my whole life. And it's true. But have you ever heard the music from "Only Lovers Left Alive"? It's amazing.
