Anyone who follows my projects knows how much I love making SNES games — but not every part of the process hits the same way. So I wanted to share which parts I enjoy the most… and which ones tend to drag a bit for me.

When it comes to drawing sprites and backgrounds, I’m completely in my element.I love spending time on tiny details, experimenting, polishing… I can get lost in it for hours. It’s the most relaxing and creative part of the whole journey for me.

Then there’s the part where I have to set up and configure the code inside the ROM. I still find it interesting — it’s literally what brings everything to life — but it’s also the most demanding and boring part for me. It slows me down, makes me take more breaks, and requires a different kind of focus.

To avoid burning out or pushing myself too hard, I like to work on smaller, simpler projects between bigger games. It helps me reset my brain, stay motivated, and not overdo it to the point where I end up dropping everything.

Nice! Do you only make SNES games or do you work with other older consoles?

Right now I’m focused exclusively on the SNES. That’s the only platform I develop for at the moment.

This is an important lesson for anyone who works with creative stuff. The creative part is always great, but there's a lot of side work that's not as enjoyable. Last year, I began working for real in comic books (as a writer). This year, my partner (illustrator) and I decided to do the same thing. In between chapters of a bigger project, we are working on small stories, like only 4 pages long. It gives you a HUGE boost of energy to complete something, and helps you to stay motivated.
