When we were discussing the ideas for the game, I had in mind mostly how much I don´t like the topic. I thought how much I´m fed up with all of this informational fluff, that keeps spamming my mind every waking hour. And then this theme, the topic of how destructive emotional impact of hoaxes, fake news and ubiquitous informational bombing  can be for our brain and our soul. It may seem strange, but during work on this game I thought mostly on Plato and Jan Patocka and the greek concept of to deinon as something, that is disturbing your peace, threatening your safety and your feeling of home in this world.  And disinformation, hoaxes, and conspiration theories are definitely deinos.

We also wanted to add some personal tips, what we like to do to feel better, but we didn´t have time for that - so at least here - my stress relievers:

  • Driving a bike while yelling "Lucretia My Reflection" by The Sister of Mercy
  • Homemade spirit my grandpa made
  • Weird dancing when I finally made something work

  • Unity Collaborate almost forced me to throw my laptop from a window. (Fortunately we don't have windows that can be opened in the office. )
  • First time when I used a coroutine.
  • 10 bananas eaten.
  • No kittens were harmed during the development.

I love the art, I love the music, I love how almost everything is angry. I survived for 1185 seconds and then I had a cramp in my hand. A long time has passed and I still hear the music.

I wanted to write how this game has restored my will to live during this lockdown, but honestly, I just feel like an angry brain with weirdly pretty legs, my life is empty. And my legs are not nearly as pretty.

Thank you :) Yes, the legs are crazy attractive.

We gonna tweak it later to be much more challenging - we fixed the worst bugs, but didn´t really time for making it well balanced.  We usually played it to die soon (to test stuff) and never to win. 

Hey, seems like there is great difference between players playing and devs playing, right? :D
