I'd happily natter on about the background stuff; it's honestly one of my favorite parts of game dev and I love collecting like, commentated art books for games and things. But I know I'm pretty prone to rambling, so I won't talk your ears off here XD

I'm very excited for the next jam I'm doing! I've been coming up with a few ideas and I'm not really sure what I'll go with yet...I can't start work on it until it opens in 5 days, but I've been doing some general tech stuff for other projects I'm hoping to use to give all my pixel horror stuff some extra oomph and I'm pretty hype for it :3

i definitely get it!!! i especially love concept art a lot! ahh it's just so cool to see a game be made. oh! and patch notes from games can be neat (and funny) too. you can learn about little things that you'd never think about. seeing how something small can break a whole game! that's so interesting! (although probably frustrating for the dev!!) but yes, i don't want to derail your game comments LOL

i'm excited for you!!! it'll be fun seeing what you come up with ^ -^ i would love to join a jam/make a fun little game one day myself!

No worries about clogging up the game comments, I'm too small-potatoes for that to matter at all and getting to engage on the stuff around game creation is kinda why I publish stuff anyway. Outside of the creativity and personal development and such of course XD

I think it's really cool to see games be made as well, and following the process in the middle of it or post-release as patch notes is pretty interesting! Just curious how nowadays even after a game is "shipped" that doesn't mean it's done being developed and that can be pretty neat :3

My next jam starts tomorrow and has a week-long window to make something, but I'm kind of floundering on getting the concept I'm chewing on to come together? I'm sure it'll sort itself out as I tinker though. Before this year I spent a very very long time just like fussing with small things but never finishing anything, so this was the year I really wanted to push myself to finally publish something? And I have! Which is very exciting! Which like, isn't super relevant, just like, if you want to go for it sometime, you should! You could record a dev diary if you felt so inclined for your channel? I know some folks document their stuff like that. Just have to be careful not to dox yourself if you record your desktop at all and such ^^;
