i am SO tired of the r-slur coming back. i saw a post a while ago that said it's not unrelated that fascist ideologies being on the rise coincides with the people being comfortable using that slur again. fascists grifters are celebrating it coming back. like. full stop. stop using it.
every person who worked on unbeatable (including many trans people) gets a cut of the game and it also supports the studio which helps us keep them hired
so basically buy your trans friends unbeatable to kill three birds with one forbidden ultimate move

I know calling reps is very nerve racking. You're not sure what's the right thing to say, and tbh having a script thrown at me makes things just as nerve racking.
I called today, and I figured I'd write up a transcript of how my call went down. Hopefully it helps demystify the process
Hello! Loved Dispatch! So cool you got to work on it!
Hello fellow they/she game dev! Love your fit!
I'd like to announce I have a new(ish) Podcast! It's called GameDev Unsung Heroes, and it's basically interviewing all the names in games you don't know about what they do, their career path, a few stories along the way. All free.
Here's the link gamedevunsungheroes.com
I could use re-posting :)
I am very blessed to be supported by Outersloth, they walk the talk on sustainable development for indie developers
Hell yeah! Not enough of us tbh!

What I love about all the modern Resident Evil titles (Requiem & RE4make being the best of the bunch) is they know what they are & execute their different premises to consistently deliver:
- Creepy atmosphere/sound design
- A story with fun/grotesque enemies & villains
- Memorable set pieces
In May '25, a beloved Australian games website was sold off. It went dark then, a month later, rose from the dead but stuffed full of gambling links and AI authors.
It wasn't the first time, or the last time, this exact thing had happened. And it's still happening.
My months-long investigation 👇
lol incredible AIPAC ad. Quoting Kat's high school newspaper from when she was literally 16 years old. An AI generated campaign pin that gives up on spelling her name, seemingly making her Hawaiian. Another AI generated pin that makes Marco Rubio extremely handsome for no reason. Fantastic work. 🧑🍳😘
Scary Movie 6 looks like a movie made ten years ago and it's coming out now and made by people who really want to say slurs openly but know they can't so this is the next best thing.
queer creators, join the jam & submit your works!!
submissions are open from now until march 31 🗓️🌈

I've reported 2-3 stories in my career that have sucked the spirit out of my body and this was one of them. But! Seeing the response of the fgc to help their brother genuinely put it right back. Im humbled to have been trusted with this. Help your neighbors friends those in need are all around you.
If you have the means, please donate to the Trans Continental Pipeline right now. They are a Colorado based org that helps trans people relocate and they are overwhelmed with requests. Colorado borders Kansas, and TCP has the infrastructure to help get people out.

Happy birthday Mary!
please. if you are a person who thinks they support human rights, accept what is happening:
say it out loud. tell your friends to say it out loud. they're perpetrating a genocide, and we need you.
As someone who signed up to shovel the day after the blizzard because of the 30/hr incentive and did a 12 hour shift of shoveling 30+ blocks of crosswalks, bus stops, and hydrants with 12 others, I can attest that this initiative worked.
They turned folks AWAY b/c so many were signing up.
No generative AI was used in creating The Mermaid Mask - this game is the result of nothing less than a small group of very talented artists working hard for a long time!
A shame it even has to be said, but it's important to restate our values when making games:
No GenAI. Ever.
Hey it’s my birthday! 🎉

So proud I get to help @rasheedabueideh.bsky.social create this incredibly important historical game, despite the powers that be in the games industry insisting that Palestinians can not be allowed to tell their story.
Apropos of nothing but I've been playing a new run of @blacktabbygames.com horror visual novel Scarlet Hollow (episode 5 just dropped last Friday) & goddamn, it is so good and has come a long way since I first started a run in 2022.
25% off on Steam right now: store.steampowered.com/app/1609230/...
Thank you! As a fellow indie, narrative game designer, the past and I'm sure future work of ZA/UM and everyone who worked there has greatly influenced me. I'm definitely interested in playing whatever you and those folks are cooking up!
