I just went public with the concept for my new game "This is your life". It is a special moment for me, because compared to past projects, I am am much more aware of my motivation to make games to begin with, and I believe I was able to include a lot of the things I learned about myself in this new idea. As you maybe can imagine, it is also even more terrifying for parts of me. Self-Expression is very meaningful, but also opens up the potential for "perceived vulnerability". But I also know that only if I show others who I really am, do I even have the chance for true love, self-acceptance and self-esteem.

It is really exciting for my sub-personalities to be able express themselves when I am writing out the internal conversations within the game, and they feel grateful for being heard. I was never able to maintain a regular journaling routine, but this project is giving me the motivation to do so in abundance. I hope that in time, like-minded people will discover the potential of this playful tool, not only for self-healing, but for empathy and connection between everyone playing.
