yes and I loved it, brought me to tears. But it'd be so nice for some people to not have this, to know there's a way to somewhere less.... anxious.. Something to aspire too..

I felt like the purpose of the book was to make that journey out of anxiety into free creation. So I would say, yeah, it exists. Folks have done it. :)

I can touch that sometimes, but reality has a tendency to crawl its way back into my skull. I read it and loved it to bits, but must admit that in this age of #gamedev I find it very hard to get back into that space. I've tasted it but it was in a safer more joyous space.

I meant to mention when we were talking, I enjoyed your GDC talk this past year.

Something I'm asking myself a lot lately is "am I making this for someone else, or for me?" Neither answer is "right", but it changes how I measure whether it succeeded, and who I'll listen to criticism from.
