If a foreign adversary snuck into our Federal budget and cut science research and education the way we’re cutting it ourselves — strategically undermining America’s long-term health, wealth, and security — we would likely consider it an act of war.

When do you think you'll be able to experience the real world converted to Studio Ghibli style in real time? Such a crazy moment in Internet culture. I love it. www.reddit.com/r/AgentsOfAI...

I started doing level design for this cozy, co-op, sandbox game where you play as woodland creatures in a fantastical, Victorian-era, setting. Riding an owl as a mouse is the best! Please support the Kickstarter and Wishlist on Steam! #cozygames #steam #kickstarter
19.03.2025 05:56 — 👍 2 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0there are so many people looking for work in the #gameindustry right now.
it would make so much sense for people to open up their own indie studios with all that talent floating around and make cool creative shit that most of the AAA studios wouldnt dare releasing. #gamedevjobs #diyordie
Hawthorn surpassed 1k followers on our Kickstarter Coming Soon page! Follow us on Kickstarter to stay up to date on the campaign.
