Hey Contra, I disappeared for a bit. Not because I stopped caring about design, I just needed a breather 🫂

I continued to work, but couldn't bring myself to post something here. Burnout caught up with me, and honestly that “you’re not good enough” voice doesn’t make a comeback any easier. Funny how you can work hard for years and impostor syndrome still shows up like it pays rent.

But I’m back, easing into it this time. I’ve also been posting some design content on my Insta along the way.

If you’ve been in that spot too: you’re not behind. Anyway, good to be here again🎉 For now you can take a look at one of the key screens of my new project that I can't wait to finish and show y'all!

Nice to see you here again 🎉 I'm waiting for the project updates 🤗

I started building it right before the weekend. By Sunday I was already beating my own high scores.

Built in Rive with the Rive CLI and Claude. Zombies are animated vectors, the cars are custom vector designs, and the HUD runs on data binding [+ GPU Canvas / Luau]. The whole game is just 2.37 MB.

@Rive @Matt Jedrzejewski very fun game! Frames really get low with a lot of zombies on the screen!
