just added fire emoji reactions to something I wrote myself as I think the idea is just that good, and I deserve a little praise

but also why can I even add emoji reactions to paragraphs in google docs

I somehow managed to cut off a word while editing this and that made it so much better

Canteen @canteen.bsky.social · Aug 27

We've been working on our game's story recently. And in the process have created a very normal, 100% not weird, timeline!

Giving this a little boost to make it clear I am also looking for freelance work. I've already spoken to some great peeps!

Happy to work with indies any size! Need help with some theming? Can't face writing any more barks? Need a little a bit of lore?

I write and narrative design, what a bargain.

We added a new game-mode to CorpoNation and fixed some bugs! Mental health challenges made it hard to work on this game after we launched it originally, so I'm extremely proud we finally managed to get an update out. To anyone that's played it and liked it, pls consider leaving us a review. 🙏

Canteen @canteen.bsky.social · Aug 4

Surprise update for CorpoNation

Endless mode! 👀

You can chill out working forever in Zen mode, tackle difficult tasks from your manager in Challenge mode, and work everyday to keep your daily streak alive. There's also a bunch of bug fixes and improvements 🦝
