We're almost there for the next stretch goal! The last 2.5K of our next goal will be covered by a tiny but brave social movement organization. Help us get to 27.5K and they'll take it to 30K!

601 backers! Amazing work. We're getting closer to 27.5K after which De Collectieve Beweging will get us to 30K in one fell stroke! Back our game and let's show the children of the world how to organize the resistance instead of giving them AI brainrot! #indiegames #resistance #kickstarter

Open een account bij mn nieuwste startup en je krijgt early acce$$ tot nieuwe oorlogsgebieden.
Neem deel aan de strijd met het comfort van je eigen woonkamer.

Believe in your work. Stop ending papers with β€œMore research is needed” and start concluding with β€œNo more research on this topic is needed.”

Welcome to Muziris.

A vibrant city under pressure from powerful corporate and political interests. Mix with ecoterrorists and godmen, capitalist overlords and construction workers, conspiracy theorists and hacker seeresses.

Every decision will test you.

In this narrative deckbuilder demo, the river is a slain god and ordinary people investigate, recruit allies, and shape a case through leads and deck choices.

This looks great β€” backed it like a shot. Great pitch, fascinating setting and situation, gorgeous art, and I’m desperate to see the card-based social conflict system in action.

We've found the symmetry of titles and complete difference of genres between @allwillrise.bsky.social and @allwillfallgame.bsky.social very entertaining for a while but it was extremely fun to see people on the All Will Fall discord making similar jokes about us πŸ˜…

I feel like there's crossover potential with our game All Will Rise 😁 though the genres couldn't be more different store.steampowered.com/app/3165340/...

Also every time a message about a new number of backers appears, @hugobille.bsky.social reveals a Pokemon in our Discord that corresponds to that number, which is the best.

That's a proper interesting angle mate - never thought about game design helping with climate law. How'd that crossover come about?

Great news! Members of De Collectieve Beweging want to match the next 2.5K euros with a 'Union Leader' pledge of 2.5K! πŸ’°πŸ’°πŸ’°

So if you help us reach 27.5K euros, they will help All Will Rise reach its next Kickstarter goal at 30K: romantic missions! More below!
