Or even check out some of my older music (Pattern Circus OST is very good) jackking-spooner.bandcamp.com/music

Great day to get one of our soundtracks on Bandcamp: juderosoundtrack.bandcamp.com

What this underscores is the sheer danger of market consolidation in gaming. While companies like Valve and Epic do not legally have to carry a game, to not do so is functionally a death knell for that game on the PC; Santa Ragione has said it threatens the studio’s continued existence. This is not equivalent to a theater chain declining to carry a movie; this is two (mostly one) American companies more or less deciding what content is commercially viable across most of the world, in ways that are somehow more vague and opaque than the MPAA. This is a hegemony of American prudishness, applied globally, incoherently, unevenly, and unseriously. Anybody responsible for these decisions would be vaporized in seconds by a Pinku movie from the 1970s, and if a single person in this chain of command has an arts degree they are pretending they don’t for the sake of an ill-defined idea of business. Horses cannot be the ceiling for what is artistically and commercially possible in games, because otherwise we are in deep horseshit.

Chris Person takes a look at Horses, "the indie game that is too scandalous for either Valve or Epic, is only beyond the pale if you're not familiar with any other art form" (quoted from the article blurb).

At least read this paragraph:

This game is gonna be so sick oh my god 😩🖐

This bunch are trouble

We should get into smoking

Thanks for playing!

Finished & Platted Judero last night, an absolutely wonderful game full of heart and soul from beginning to end, I wish there was more like it. I likely will be endlessly talking about it/ recommending it to my pals for awhile so good luck to y'all.

Ps - nice to see a bit of Fife representation!

GOG bestsellers

HORSES is currently the best-selling game on GOG 😱

@santaragione.com Great work! I'm making a similarly transgressive game and I was wondering if I could have a little chat with you on discord or somewhere?

I see why it was banned but it is tame compared to other extreme media. Our game Abide is more extreme and challenging in many different ways... but definitely less so in others. If you are into horror or transgressive media (and are of age) play Horses www.horses.wtf (3/3)

It's been a great year for horror. I like that Horses draws from Splatterpunk writing like Cows, The Slob and Tender is the Flesh. I like that sex/ sexual humiliation is coming back to horror (after sad, sexless Hellraiser reboot). I'd have had no funny bits and had more explicit gore (2/3)

I played Horses.
Thoughts: Many similarities to what we're making (days, tasks, "community") but I think there's room for more of this sort of thing! Also, we're saying something very different, it's less surreal and we have more game mechanics/ "play". (1/3)

It's full of porno games and some serious trouble with pay outs.

Itch has problems.

All this banning has made me concerned for the mature content horror game we're making. I'm going to give Horses a shot.

Making heads for the new game. Really hope this one finds an audience. Follow along here: www.kickstarter.com/projects/637...

Thank you to everyone who donated after seeing this, genuinely I could cry

Hey y'all, I'm trying to survive the last few months of development on 500 Cal, so I'm looking for work. I can do character models, UI, logos, character design, cover art, music videos, consulting, whatever the hell you need. Dm me or email at Brycebucher01@gmail.com

I'm making the last main character for the next game. An old lady called Edith, wicked beyond words.

Thanks for playing
