Tell HN: Happy New Year • Hacker News Board

This year, I got engaged to my favorite person on memorial day. Then yesterday, my fiancee said she actually doesn't want to have kids, despite being the only man ever she had considered having a family with. So it was a whole night of turmoil, and tears, and we slept in separate beds for the first time last night. I guess we are parting amicably. She says that I will be a great father someday and I guess we are breaking up, even though we still love each other. I'm not taking this news well.

Love that. Are you working solo or on a small team for the game?

Just solo, trying to keep my scope small and since I’m making a “casino rougelite” type of game the main focus will be on the depth of the systems and upgrades.

Sounds fun. You never know if you'll hit that Balatro magic.

Happy new year!

This year turned out to be bad due to burnout, hoping 2026 will be better for everyone!

Happy New Year from Bucharest!

My wrap includes getting married, travelling to Italy, Slovenia and Germany, finally making a few sales of the app I'm working on, and dealing with residence permit. In 2026 I will continue working on my apps and hopefully make more sales, I hope to do some freelancing, fish more with dad and travel a bit.
