Zero guarantee on the "properly" side, but at least I wont be doing an equivalent of putting up decorative wallpaper while the house is still being built around me. As one does.

...FUCK I FORGOT THAT BG HAS A SIMILAR PREMISE
tbh I never liked the "one guy had 5374848 spawn and now they are doing hunger games against each other", I like to think on a smaller and more familiar scale, like "the expected fucked-up family dynamics but there is eldritch horror involved'

*at first I wanted it to be the father, but we need more fucked up moms around. he's still complicit tho
**she didn't, it was just way different (worse) deities that looked at them and went "its free real estate "

I have the opposite, for my mom most video games are a visual overload, but I have fun explaining to her the static shenanigans in terms that she can understand; turns out "8 people failing a task successfully" is a universal experience;D

I still remember how my mom watched me playing Monster Hunter for 10 minutes and asked, with sincere worry in her voice "and you do this for fun...?"

To recap, here are the steps:
1. Work traditionally.
2. Draw daily.
3. Don't share the work.
4. Let go of intention to monetize.
5. Work in silence.
6. Listen to your mind and body.
7. Reflect on the work.

Ive heard some weather reports on the radio while buying żurek in a Polish store and nearly twisted myself inside out from jealousy, so thank you x)

Gotta get a bit of a frostbite to balance the humours

similar with cats, they often end up around no-cat people because they are chill and not immediately go into their personal space

More seriously: i taught myself enough Photoshop to get a simple graphic design job basically by accident, went through a few companies and at some point thought "hm, I wonder if I can try making games with this", the rest is history.
