ICYMI: GAME IS OUT! πŸš€

This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942. I know. I was there in those camps.

Guys I don't think I like social media

If you continue to remain silent on immigrant rights, this should be your sign (since you missed the other 1000) that this isn't going to stop at migrants. This isn't just an issue for undocumented people. I hate telling others to see value once it hits them, but that's what's happening here.

this is a vague thought but i've been thinking about how sometimes production can miss the forest for the trees by being stuck in planning rituals

My campaign is not supported and is moving slowly. This is frustrating to me. We need your support and your support during these difficult times. πŸ˜”πŸ’” We are now in the process of rebuilding and healing our wounds and tragedies. Please support us. Does anyone still care? gofund.me/c5c4a650

A Donkey Kong, Mario Bros and Wrecking Crew globe

I'm not sure why people are so disappointed when they haven't even shown any games yet, besides a few clips of a new mario kart. We don't even know how the computer mouse thing works yet!

My friends, do you know the feeling of waiting eagerly for something? For us, waiting is not a choice but a harsh reality. Two days have passed without new support, and we are still far from our goal. Be part of a rescue story for a family fighting to survive. πŸ™β€οΈ Donate Link β–Ά gofund.me/ef19d906

ATTENTION: I am starting a charity bundle to benefit victims of the Southern California wildfires. Game (and other) makers, please submit your projects so we can do some good. There is a call for submissions of projects through the 18th, please share widely! FAQ below: itch.io/jam/californ...

The Worst Game Jam is live NOW! Submit a game (or any other kind of art) with the theme A Beacon in the Dark by January 19th to participate! Unranked, all experience levels welcome. It'll be fun. Trust us. itch.io/jam/the-wors...

The Gulf is out today.

If you've read The Gulf maybe toss it a review on GoodReads. :o)

I've noticed in my yearly game reviews how often I complain about final boss difficulty spikes, I like hard games and I like hard bosses, but there's a weird difference for a *final* boss that I think devs might underestimate a bit - there's nothing after it

Our days have become dull and dark, with no joyful details, only hunger, cold,and fear. Our lives have turned into a daily battle for survival, and our hearts are exhausted from what we have endured. Every bit of support gives us strength to endure these heavy days. Donate Link β–Ά gofund.me/ef19d906

holy shit we made it? we made it! yalla @rasheedabueideh.bsky.social let's go make videogame history launchgood.com/1948

This game project looks very special. It may seem frivolous to ask to back a game, but making games / art in the face of destruction is truly a radical act. @rasheedabueideh.bsky.social has been doing it for a long time. 9 days to raise ~$24K is totally doable. www.launchgood.com/v4/campaign/...

If you've enjoyed Cryptmaster, please consider sharing the news. Despite an IGF award, a 95% Steam rating and a free demo, the game has gone mostly unnoticed by both press and players. It's not just a typing game and there may still be people out there who would enjoy it!

9 days to go | 86.9% funded 🚨 Let's help humanize Palestinians again with teaching the history from a humanitarian perspective using video games! Yallah let's help @rasheedabueideh.bsky.social reach the goal ya'll www.launchgood.com/v4/campaign/...

As we wrap up 2024, help bring Dreams on a Pillow, a video game experience about the 1948 Nakba, to reality by supporting their crowdfunding campaign. πŸ”— dreamsonapillow.com Full interview with Palestinian Game Director @rasheedabueideh.bsky.social: β–Ά www.youtube.com/watch?v=K1J_... #gamedev

For Christmas Day, Israel went and bombed the last operating hospital in North Gaza. It persevered, so today Israel assaulted the building, all medical staff has been forced into concentration camps, and the hospital was set on fire. Israel's genocide can't have any survivors in Gaza.

Gen ai is poisoning our power grid, stealing intellectual property, using precious water, and ruining the internet with unreliable information and garbage imagery. Don't use it, and don't normalize it, even for laughs.

Look how cold and rough this looks. Please donate and make a difference

We are due, and ready, for revolution. How that happens is no longer up for the oppressors to decide and it’s no longer for the oppressed to be judged.

Three babies died of hypothermia in Gaza this week and Hamza and his family are sleeping on cardboard.
