I imagine my game and this book are the furthest things from your mind in the past 12 months. But I also don't want there to be any ambiguity about my presence or the assurance that I haven't gone AWOL.
I haven't. It's just been a time.
I'm not sure what always to talk about in these updates besides the general "I'm here, I exist, I'm a person" stuff. And also expressing empathy for what the rest of you are experiencing. Which is a lot. It's a whole damn lot.
There is, however, one unambiguously good thing that is currently taking up all of my time:
Very small feet
My partner and I have become new parents for the first time. It is pretty incredible. It gives me light and life. I am primary caregiver as my partner's parental leave has officially ended. They have returned to work away from home, so it's a lot of me and the baby. I am rocking their bouncy chair with one foot even as I write this.
I'll write another update soon. One sooner than the previous one. I love this project; no pun intended. There's so much of me in it: the things I care about and want from life and games, and what it all can be and mean, and does mean, to me. In the next update, I'll talk about the game itself, the design, the process.
