If I got a dime for ever anticapitalist deckbuilder set in an India-inspired city, Iโ€˜d have $0.50. itโ€˜s not much but itโ€™s awesome it happened twice!

We started with a very modest basic Kickstarter goal at 10K, but the scope of our dreams for All Will Rise are a lot bigger. Please repost far and wide so we can reach our dream goal of 100K and make more music, more quests, more art, and a mobile version of the game! #indiedev #indiegames #gamedev

Setting minds on fire!

Thank you for helping to fund All Will Rise. Help us keep reaching higher! Weโ€™re working towards our next stretch goal, but our ultimate goal is much higher: 100K! Think we can hit that?

How cool is our game that it is directly inspired by real life climate cases? How many games have that going for it?

I love this picture, that's me with my friend and meditation teacher @rosaclewis.bsky.social at the letters V and R. We met for the first time in real life that week after doing a lot of long distance work together. I like how it shows how you can be a small part of powerful communal action.

Our singer Joost was involved in a court case against one of the world's biggest pension funds. It gave him the idea for the game All Will Rise, and now there's a demo on Steam and a kickstarter to finish the final game. Read all about it here:
