welcome to the lemon cosmos, a queer indie dev's perspective on lots of stuff!
One of the reasons I'm trying to blog regularily is to find my way around words again. There's one big reason why: ✨️ precision ✨️ My brain is less-than-good at handling ambiguity. I tend to get annoyed in high-stress situations where people don't clearly communicate what they want. Most of the time, I'm the person who has to clarify and mediate between others not being able to properly…
this year i co-hosted a GGJ site in Flensburg again, and it was pretty fun! during the jam, I worked on a small typing/heist/dating game, where you mask or unmask your true feelings for your lifelong partner in crime <3 before I get into the development, you can play the game over on itch.io ! ideation to be fair, i'd been thinking about working on a typing game recently. when during ideation to…
