    I've been thinking for a solution like that too, or a mirror and some kind of arduino contraption to reflect it back

    I remember the first one when it came out and I felt like watching a boring soft porn. But I don't know if today's me would appreciate it more.

    I think you are spot on about using the shower to evade reality for a while. Thanks for sharing!

    I also have a process that doesn't feel wasteful in any way, and still 7-8 minutes is my fastest time.

    Can you share the technique?? I can't lower my average to less than ten minutes and I really just do what I'm supposed to do there, I don't stay staring at the tile for minutes or anything.

    I think that in Neon Genesis Evangelion they abused it too to reiterate that the weather is different since the second impact.

    Just a personal passion project has been greenlighted by a local museum, a drawing club open to everybody, it's a weekly session where anybody who wants to participate can do it, a space to draw and hang out every Thursday in a place I like from my city. Have to confess that I feel a little nervous and I'm going through a bite-sized imposter syndrome episode, but yeah, I'm happy and excited.

    Not in the sense that it revolutionized gameplay or anything technical, but how they were able to create something with such narrative depth while looking like a simple fun indie game a the same time. Visually it's lovely too.

    Gameplaywise it could be considered a pretty basic platformer(because it has some verticality) that incorporates other dynamics, like rythm, exploration and small doses of action.

    Mine is so boring, bought a new sketchbook and have been trying to use it as frequently as I can. And that's it.
