My 10-month experiment with console after 43 tries

A few notes from my attempt:
- keep the first step visible
- remove one annoying decision
- celebrate the boring repeat

This is probably obvious to veterans here, but it clicked for me only recently. multiplayer got easier when I stopped treating every attempt like a final exam.

> Tiny progress is still progress.

That line sounds cheesy, but it got me through the part where indie stopped feeling new.

This feels a little overrated to me, even if the intention is good. The social part surprised me too. The real boss fight is finding a night everyone is free.

I appreciate the honest middle stage, not just the polished ending. I keep a note about console for exactly this reason.
