Just started judging the #js13kgames competition entries! Gave feedback on my first five games. The highlight for me today was @KilledByAPixel's amazingly polished 🌈Arcobaleno - LEARN ITALIAN which uses only emojis and voice! so good. only 13kb. play.js13kgames.com/arcobale…

used to post gamedev work in progress screenshots nearly every single day, like some sort of show-n-tell, and now I never do. I still make games every day!!! but no longer need a pat on the back to stay motivated. Likes and shares and rando feedback feels unimportant now
