This week was different; I found myself in a state of hyper focus. The outside world faded away as I delved deep into the real ms of my imagination and coding prowess. My fingers danced across the keyboard, almost of their own accord, orchestrating the third prototype of my async game. It was a symphony of creativity and logic, a true testament to my passion for game development. But this wasn’t a story of burnout or neglect; no, I was firmly in control.
