One thing I've learned about researching game studios is that their own websites are poor sources because they won't have been updated in years, so you think maybe they're dead (which is what happens to game studios) only to find out they're actually working on a new game right now.

A giant mecha but piloted by your Arab uncle who used to be a taxi driver. He's killing aliens while blasting raï music at maximum volume.

I'm Jibreel, an anti-colonial game scholar. Follow if you want to see talk of videogames and Palestine on your feed. I'm joining this platform because I don't think microblogging itself is an issue but that the platform which hosts the microblogging can be more or less terrible for the medium.
