The games industry is mentally exhausting in every aspect. Studying, trying to get a job, maintaining skills, managing workload when getting said job, getting laid offโ€ฆ all of it is so damaging.

We need significant change.

It is great to hear that you don't have regrets! I understand the concerns about failure, but I think it is probably healthy to have that in the back of your mind to keep you focused and motivated for the journey. I really do appreciate your words. Your project looks awesome! :)

I appreciate your perspective on it! Totally understand itโ€™s going to be a lot of hard workโ€ฆ Do you ever regret your decision to take that โ€œleapโ€? I feel like I am going to be filled with regret unless I atleast give it a go.

I would really like to chat with people who have taken the step to start their own studio, I wanna hear the good, the bad and the ugly. I think it would really help my current headspace.

I appreciate any time you can spare, my DMs are open ๐Ÿซถ

I have the urge to do something incredibly chaotic, I just haven't decided what it is or the scale of that decision yet.

Iโ€™ve never felt more undervalued and unappreciated in my entire life lmfao.

I know it has happened to so many people but holy shit, I put my whole soul into my job.

Got laid off today, lots of thoughts in my head. Anger, confusion, sadness & regret!

I thought Iโ€™d handled burnout before, but recent months proved me wrong. I got stuck in a cycle of working and sleeping, feeling like I wasnโ€™t moving forward and my mental health was crumbling. I stepped back, reassessed, and started making healthier choices. Itโ€™s slow, but Iโ€™m moving again.

My heart goes out to you and the whole team. Getting the chance to work on the Metal Hellsinger franchise was truly career defining for me, and Iโ€™ll always be grateful to you and everyone involved for that opportunity by creating such a masterpiece.

I canโ€™t wait to see what you all create next.
