The end. As I close my chapter at People Can Fly Studio, I’m filled with gratitude for the journey. I’ve had the pleasure of working with some truly talented people who have previously worked on some incredible games. The work we have done over the past years has been nothing but incredible.

This is the first time I've been roasting my own beans using a Horoku (in the background of the photo).
It's a very exciting and also a bit nerve wracking experience, having only had a little amount of Ethiopian Sidamo to do my first try.
The smells in the kitchen are amazing!

Finally did it. I managed to end 2024 by completing the Dark Tower books on the 31st of December. Absolutely loved them, despite book 3 taking me over a year to finish due to wanting to complete the Metro books first.
Onto the Witcher books!
