September 2024 - Monthly Summary
🧵 1/9 - Monthly summary #21, September 2024
October is very busy so I couldn’t write this summary earlier… September was busy as well! Since I finally moved, I was able to go back to full speed on my projects and do lots of things I had wanted to do since January
Let’s talk about this 😎 #solodev
🧵 2/9
I’m back in the game dev world and made many improvements on Manufactur’inc. Let’s highlight some with pictures:

Finally, what does my computer look like when I try to work on a 10039x24331 pixels Photoshop project? Like that:
