I am not going to get into specifics right now for various reasons but all I can say is launchgood.com/1948 deserves to hit its goal in the light of the shit this industry does to @rasheedabueideh.bsky.social

game dev log: i dont really have the drive to take this any further because everything "works" i just dont want to do the rest of it to get it to a good showing point. my greatest weakness, a single setback leading to total routine collapse, strikes again

after a stellar jazz show the other night (s/o Cory Henry) where i was gasping at the pure skill and holding my breath more than once, I left asking myself what games made me feel the same and why? im still thinking so if i have an answer ill put it here

genuinely some peak fps gaming, couldnt figure it as a kid because i was a little too dumb to get past 2nd mission of halo 3

After years away from game dev, I couldn’t stay silent about my people’s dehumanization. I made Dreams on a Pillow 🍉a game inspired by a famous Palestinian folktale about the 1948 Nakba.

I’m crowdfunding it now—please back & share!
