@hemeon It’s a tough business. But building direct relationships and co-creating together is 100% the key to longevity.

From the minute I got my hands on @playdate, I wanted something I could keep with me at all times for when creative inspiration strikes. PXLSketch does just that, and much more, and I can't wait to see what you create with it. #pixelart #playdate pxlbots.itch.io/pxlsketch

@hemeon Sure, point being it’s all insanely expensive to maintain as a small business working with massive organizations. Because in addition to CC, it’s Figma, Sketch, and a host of other tools-de-jour that client teams are using.
