And I think that that's what I want this game to be, to have teenagers play it and feel like it's OK to be themselves. It's OK to have weird niche interests and it's OK to not look a certain way.

That is a very similar struggle that Lily goes into as in like not feeling beautiful, feeling these societal pressures that she has to look a certain way. And the game is about like strong female friendship and valuing oneself outside of just appearance. That's why it's very similar to The Substance if you've seen that movie.

Yeah, well, I was really excited to recreate an early 2000s internet game. I know it's very ironic, but I actually do not enjoy the internet now. I am a content creator, but I don't like Instagram. I don't like TikTok. I don't like Twitter. I feel like all these social medias are becoming very homogenized. And now when you post on social media, it feels more like you're promoting something.

I mean, hello, I am the biggest perpetrator of it. I am that. And it's less about just expressing yourself. And I feel like in the early 2000s, people would just post to post. They would overshare about their lives because they didn't care about stranger danger. They would share their art, their poetry, and they didn't care if it got a lot of likes or views. And I find that...

Short answer, I don't. I'm just nervous all the time. Actually, so a couple of friends came over last night and one of my friends is like a professional coder. So I was asking her how to approach this coding problem in my game. And so we started playing it. And then I realized that there was a bug that I've never seen before. And I freaked out.
