I made myself a promise years ago to stop prioritizing my productivity over my health and wellbeing. Not just so I can feel better, which I always knew, but also because eventually I simply had to admit that "pushing through" wasnt working and I was burning myself out often before any real production had began.
That being said, I havent done much work on the game, BUT! ...
My kitchen and desk are clean and Im stretching more and sleeping better. And then just when I started thinking I felt able to tackle LIBERTY, by complete happenstance my wonderful bestie Rat (who is putting the finishing touches on an Amazing mecha ttrpg you Will see me hype the shit out of when the time comes) introduced me to a Famicom game made in 1991 by HAL Laboratories called "Metal Slader Glory" and I knew LIBERTY had to look like this.
I need to see how much of this I can translate to a Game Boy sized screen, but I know GB studio has a Point & Click game mode built into it so thats gonna be the next thing I look into. I'm gonna try to record whenever I have a specific idea I wanna test in GB Studio, that'll hopefully be content for y'all.
I might also dust off our printer. I kinda wanna print out a physical moodboard for LIBERTY above my desk...Oh maybe get little mecha figures to decorate it. What's the smallest Giant Robo I can get...
Anyway, I'm super energized and have a new focused vision for the game, OH ALSO I've been baking more. Homemade sourdough bread is Life Changing. I'll keep y'all posted and actually start hyping this page soon.
Love you,
Tezzle
