It's been amazing, I was expecting to notice a big difference in my personal life but I'm actually surprised with how much more I'm able to focus at work! I'm almost noticing more of a difference there. My motivation is feeling much stronger and like it's growing again 🤓

Will put together a proper thread & data sometime in April after our 2nd quarter is done, but so far our experiment with the 4 Day Work Week appears to be succeeding.

We will be surveying our team & clients this year as well to see if our perceived performance has changed as well (maybe we feel great but aren't working as well; seems unlikely, but who knows!). Will share these results publicly as well.

Many are:
- getting more exercise
- eating better
- experiencing less childcare stress
- spending more time with family, both local & remote
- entertaining non-work passions (bouldering. everyone's bouldering.)
- concentrating better while at work

Cashflow has not been significantly impacted (December is always slower), nor our productivity. Curious to see what the trend is after 6 months!
The enthusiasm for the improved work/life balance is unanimous:

Come to hear about the creation of my Forrest Brynes Playdate S1 game, but stay for some deep Noid lore!
( has been absolutely *killing* it with the Playdate podcasts, they're all very much worth a listen)

What if the in-world fire prevention mascot from Firewatch had his own re-skinned, licensed platformer back in the late ’80s/early ’90s? Developer @Nelsormensch and artist @castpixel discuss “Forrest Byrnes: Up in Smoke” on the Playdate Podcast! podcast.play.date/episodes/s01e2

I won't be able to talk about my new game this year. I *very badly* want to, but it's not quite ready yet. when you see it you'll probably understand why it's been such a long journey...
next year or bust. i actually might explode if i don't say something soon, LOL.

I updated my open-source Gamemaker audio editor to use the new realtime audio effects (reverb, distortion, etc.) which were added in an update a couple weeks ago. They're a big game changer for me...

With the demo out now until Dec. 12th, we just wanted to talk about the amazing people who have been helping us make Mineko’s Night Market and also helped us get to this important milestone. We’re a fairly small team and this game wouldn’t be possible without them.

I can't believe I'm saying this but is out on Steam! You can get the soundtrack bundled in the deluxe edition (as well as an amazing art book) or support me directly by buying it on my bandcamp store (includes a few bonus tracks!)

I am talking tomorrow at @MEGAMIGSFest at 2:45pm! Outsourcing, Business & Economics.
I worked REALLY HARD on this. If you want your biz to leave the world better than you found it, or you want to attract employers/clients who do, it'll be worth your time.
