During one of my burnout–depressive phases, I suddenly felt
a spark of creativity — something I hadn’t felt in ages. So I did the best thing I could — used it as effectively as possible.
It was a perfect time to finally move on and try creating a

And as I do creative work why not to learn something new along the way, right? A reason came naturally to finally try it –
Godot Engine in version 4.
I decided to ramp up the challenge: build the game’s core in a
gamejam style.
Three days. What could go wrong? One weekend should’ve been enough to prove the project’s simplicity.

In Eastern European culture, a name is basically a form of ID given by your parents, or whoever the flip end up signing the documents.

After all it is in fact a very start of something new. I’ve finally decided that it is a good moment to push myself – and hit that launch button of my very first “real” website. The plot twist is – there is no such button anywhere to be found. I could only wish for it to be that simple. And wait… awaiting for the payment to go through? God dammit.
All that buildup for nothing.
