Tõsi, mul jäi BG3 pooleli deckil aga ma pean tõdema, et handheldid on üldse minusuguse vana peeru jaoks ainus võimalus mängimiseks aega leida. Õnneks on mul vanade mängude backlog ka lõputu ja alati on ju uus hea kraam ka indiede poolelt olemas.

Slight update on building out the night time of my Hit and Run styled game in @sceneri.bsky.social . It is all starting to come together nicely. KayLousberg makes some really nice assets on Itch that make this way easier. 😆
