Adventures in game development
Jay talks about what’s been happening and his plans for the future of Exploding Rabbit.
In this video, I talk about what’s been happening and what’s planned for the future. I also randomly get serious and reflect on some deep things for the second half of the video. If you just want news you can watch the first 15 minutes.
The incoherent ramblings continue after a long break.
I finally made another video. And I’m sick, so I sound extra spacey. Good times.
