Oof I last week I started Xmas Anxiety with your boy @aninvisiblepirate. It's a stealth game about avoiding people while you Christmas shop for your family.

This was a part of a weekend game jam type thing that I've started doing, where I try to make a game in a weekend. I post progress and previews in the supporter forum. This particular game took a bit longer to make so I'll be skipping a new game this weekend, and also because I have another project I gotta finish.

Onto the next subject of this newspost, and that's the project obsession. I think for Xmas Anxiety I've worked harder on it than any other project of mine. Mostly because I just wanted it done with because it already was overdue and past the sunday deadline I set for myself. I spent pretty much the whole week crunching and redoing a bunch of things. I don't regret it because I learned alot about using Tiled Map Editor which is much better than Ogmo. However last night I posted it at around 10PM PST. I then played Cuphead for about 20 mins or so then went to bed. But all I could think about was the game. The attention I thought it could get. The views. All that stuff that doesn't really matter too much, but I obsess over with every game. Usually I get over it within the first day or so. Maybe it's the fact that I posted it before I went to bed, but I actually dreamt about it. I dreamt about people leaving reviews, I dreamt about people complimenting mechanics which it didn't even have. In my dream it was a completely different game, and not metaphorically, it was different in every way. It was an odd experience. I almost couldn't tell the difference between when I was sleeping and when I was awake because the game and what people thought about it was all I could think about still. Anyways I feel like I've already moved on and I'm not obsessing over what people think about it now. Just thought I'd share my experience and thoughts.

Onto other stuff:
I plan to work on animating and doing art for the next few months. Hopefully until Pixel Day. I plan to finish an animation that I've been working on for about a year on and off, doing a little thing for Robot Day, and doing a music video for Pixel Day. I'll still do the weekend game jam things every weekend just because I really like making games. Anyways thats this newspost for now! \
