I almost didn't make a video this week - it was a tough and frustrating week.

But, I decided to just share some gameplay I worked on last year. Let me know what you think โค๏ธ

I tried out @unitygames #HDRPwater today. It initially looked really awesome, but the lack of tooling for creating things like masks (to attenuate waves around the shore for example) is a killer :-(
Have I missed something?!

Why Women in Tech isn't enough Women in Tech spaces help, but fall short in the long run. Real progress needs systemic change and active involvement from men in positions of power.

I have been back and forth over the span of 5 years about whether to publish this article.

All opinions and experiences in this post are my own, or from people I personally know, backed up with recent reports and statistics.

Candle Pouring Mini Game Prototype
Candle Pouring Mini Game Prototype YouTube video by November North Games

I made a quick video about a prototype for a mini game I made for The Third Tourist.

It's very basic atm, but we're aiming to have several mini games.

Candles will be a big part of the gameplay!

Do you like found families? Characters with a history of trauma trying to do the right thing? Bodyguard romance? Bad guys getting what they deserve? Romantic thrillers? The Ghost Squad are a *great* trilogy and this first book is an awesome intro to Devโ€™s Destroyers.

Everytime I go to sign up it will only give me the prices in DKK! I reached out to Patreon for help and they never got back to me - I'll have to ping them again.

Can you share pictures and a short review - I was always intrigued by your other chair!
I still love my "Varier That's It Balans" chair.
