2022 was a weird year. I’ve graduated college, landed a safe and steady job, and even released Shackled Power as a complete product. But in all of this, I still don’t feel like I’m proud of what I’ve done. Looking back on my game/art work I struggle to see anything but the bad in them, and it still feels like there’s so much for me to improve upon to get to the point I want to be at.
Going into 2023 I want to improve on all of this. But I really need to work on my perspective above all else. I feel like my general moods and ways of thinking are really holding me back from getting my skills to a decent/necessary level. Even accepting help makes me feel like I didn’t really make the work good on my own merits, and I know it shouldn’t be a bad thing to do so. I just have to get around it somehow.
Cheers to everyone looking to make a change for themselves in 2023. I wish you all luck.
