Great! I decided to make a video game for the rest of the year after being laid off in Feb so I'm not looking for jobs. It's something I've wanted to do for years, and now being in my 30s, I finally had enough savings that this was a viable option. I don't expect this to be a super profitable decision, but I'm happy to be working on something I'm passionate about for once.

I've enjoyed working on / improving my skills at the creative aspects I wouldn't normally get to do just coding (art, music)

I have no idea what the job landscape will be like when I'm done the game but oddly don't feel too worried about it. Ideally I'd never work for another employer again if I can figure out an income stream viable enough. Overall I'm probably a little more jaded towards the industry than I was pre-layoff (this wasn't my first layoff however).
