Same. Things aren't looking great on that front, but there's still some hope.
Either way we're going to make this game, just might not legally be connected to the original book in any way.

And hey, if these posts get deleted, we're probably going ahead with the adaptation and all of this was just a momentary blip adn we're back on track.

Good news is, we're working on alternative paths to continue to develop our Tulukaruk prototype (which WAS going to become this now-iced adaptation)
The great thing about learning now, rather than a year from now, is that we're early enough in dev that we can easily pivot to something else.

Yesterday I was taking it in stride, thinking about how we can pivot. This morning I'm pretty crushed. This is the second project since January that has gone from "Sure thing" to indefinitely iced.
Another destabilizing blow to where we thought CakeNeq Games was going in 2025

Long story short we thought rights had reverted to the original Author, turns out they extend through this year, and the producer/director who bought the option doesn't seem interested in partnering or letting them revert.
Still conversations happening, hopefully we come to an understanding.

RIGHT! Got some of that energy and drive back that feels like it's been lacking recently. Feels good to see.

Happy to see MTL scoring goals again! Last two games have been rough 😬

Also:
- People have been trained to either play free games or buy on deep discount or in bundles.
- People have giant backlogs of unplayed games.
- People can play really great games from any time in the last 40 years (if they are into retro gaming)

Unrelated I remember when they shot some of this in AK and everyone was goddamn buzzing about Nic Cage being here in Alaska.

I think you'd nail this please do it.

Even worse than being mean for no reason is when someone asks "I'm trying to do X, what's the best way to do that?" and all/most of the replies are "Do Z instead." or "Why do X why not do M?"
Sometimes they're well-intentioned, but often miss the point of what OP is trying to do in the first place.

Like I remember it having it's acidic (and downright awful) pools, but it seems like every time I end up back there I'm ONLY seeing people being complete assholes to each other for no reason.

I'm one of the dozen or so people who saw Drive Away Dolls in theaters (really fun movie), Monkey Man, and Casablanca tickets are all there.
And also my Megalopolis, Venom 3 and Kraven tickets are there, in case you thought maybe I have good taste.

Then again maybe that's why I'm not in charge of any major institutions 🤷♂️

The company and team I run (@cakeneq.bsky.social) is gonna keep making shit about Alaska and native issues and capitalism and how LGBTQ rights are human rights and short of the FB-fucking-I serving me with a warrant or cease and desist order we're not stopping. It's little, but it's all I've got.

I've also been eating a lot more rice cakes. They're not good exactly, but they're filler I can snack on without overdoing it.
