It seems I have some difficulties getting myself motivated to get working on stuff, combined with some minor health issues.

    This article touches a talk I attended at Amsterdam White Nights 2020 conference. The talk is about statistics of the video games market in the past decade. Numbers like these are often not available for starters in the industry because they require connections to acquire or a lot of money to get. I Understand there…
