I figure people aren't really discussing this more because we have barely got any information about it and some aren't even sure it's real- but like, the US arbitrarily bombed a random boat it found, and won't disclose why they actually did it, hoping we all believe they were criminals #political

"So a few months ago, the dev team at Sword Isles Studios were invited to speak at a creative and art scene event in Malaybalay, Bukidnon during Kaamulan Festival. We put Gubat Banwa's Quickstart+ on sale to raise funds, and were fortunate enough to meet our goals. I wanted to do a little something as a thank you to the community for the trust and support we’ve been given, and wrote a little travelogue detailing our trip. 

We hope you all enjoy this little token of thanks. 

With Gratitude and Violence Until Glory, 

Dyl, Sword Isles Studios Project Lead"

Anyway, playing these novel narrative mechanics should have your tables enraptured as easily as writing them drove me insane.

They're not out yet- fucking wait for it- but in the meantime you can get a neat preview of gameplay via the Quickstart+, here (comes with an OST btw): gubat-banwa.itch.io

This the shit that makes me look insane in public on account of my fucked up dayjob-education-gamedev trifecta means I need to do the gamedev part on-the-go

More and more people reporting today that Stripe - the payment processor that Itch said were putting the most pressure on them - now have staff actively confirming that yes, they are censoring LGBT content, adult or otherwise. That this is official company policy.

This seems kinda significant.

The problem with doing game design on the go is that sometimes my drafts make me look like an insane person.

Anyway- not that anyone was looking for me, but I've been juggling a few dozen things all this time and it's only getting busier, so prepare to continue seeing very little of me I guess.

fascist pigs should be scared fucking shitless every waking moment of their worthless lives that at any moment millions of people could finally decide to grasp collective action and smother every authoritarian ember.

we should make their nightmares real.

I'd like to remind y'all that Gubat Banwa was developed by an entire team, not one person. Sword Isle Studios - the creators now in charge of the project - are working hard to finish the game.

GB is also incredibly important to local communities back in the Philippines. Support them if you can.

That's what we like to fuckin' see (1)

Most people imagine that the blacksmith profiles of SEA Facebook are a bunch of strange boomers, and they'd be correct, but a lot of them are also progressive as hell or are actually the old blacksmith's children
