It turned out that posting these devlog bi-monthly is the sweet spot of frequency, I think. Due to life events (like getting married) taking a little bit of spare time away, development content for just one month isn’t as much as worth writing about.

“Karşıdan karşıya iki tarafa da baktıktan sonra geçerken kafana uçak düşmesi gibidir yetişkinlik.”
“Kusra bakma seni buraya böyle getirdim.”
“Yoo estağfurullah evladım.”
“Ama, yani, bilemem lazım. Bilmem lazım ve sen aslında tek kişis–”
“Anladık, tamam” diye sözümü kesti yaşlı adam. Sadece nefes almak bile zorluyormuşçasına yanaklarını şişirdi, sonra sandalyede arkasına yaslanıp gözlerini yanan şömineye çevirdi. “Sor bakalım.”
