Gamescom ‘22! Wow, what a ride. My feet hurt like crazy, my voice is gone and I have many hours of sleep to catch up. It was SO AWESOME to meet tons of friends I made over the last years (image: the lovely dudes from NRW funding), shake hands with people I have never seen in real life and see so many cool (indie) games coming up. I had way fewer appointments than in 2019 (where I was heavily promoting Omno) but it was still a crazy time.
The weirdest thing to me was that many people recognized me (because of my shirt mostly), and approached me to tell me how much they loved Omno. I had some legit fan moments! I would have never expected that, but it’s the warmest feeling you can get as a developer, I guess.
Moments like these make all the work sooooo worth it. No money in the world could give you this satisfaction and pride.
Thank you, random strangers. I love you!
