January 30th, 2024

January was so...bonkers for me in my personal, work, and even game development life??? I'm talking this is the type of shit that should be on a sitcom not my actual life, HELLO?!?! So, I've decided it can belong to 2023, and the new year officially starts in February 😭 Yup.

(This was originally a very long post with an actual tl;dr at the bottom, so I'm breaking it up into parts. This is the shortest part. You're welcome.)

I should take this moment to briefly reflect on the things accomplished last year even if they all weren’t the original goals I set out to tackle. A list below?

In 2023, Hummingbird Games…

Participated in and submitted to 2 game jams

Released its second project, Crushed

Officially began work on HSD:JY #2 (late in flippin' December, but more on that laterrrr)

Started posting content again on our Ko-Fi 🎊

Nuked the official Twitter account 💥

Transitioned game developer Gemini’s screaming, unsolicited gaming-for-fun thoughts to a cute side blog

TURNED 3 YEARS OLD!!!! (so…still a toddler dev for one more year, yaaaay)

Alrighty, this was "part one". The next one will focus on "sapphic project" aka The Knight Dance. And the next will center HSD:JY + tentative goals for the studio in 2024. And then we'll all be caught up!! Yaaaay!!!
