Now that you’ve met the team behind Ghost Jukebox, it’s time to introduce the characters, starting with our protagonist, Ghostie! And since it’s the last day of pride month, we’d like to emphasize that our game is led by a nonbinary and queer character. #indiestudio #gamedev #indiegame #indiegames

Seeing people talk about the "DEI" orders but not much on the fact that they have added an A for "Accessibility" - ie, Disabled people. They are targeting disabled people too. And it looks like they are coming for the ADA.

It's the 106th Molassiversary! The Great Molasses Flood happened on January 15th, 1919 at the North End of Boston! 12,000 metric tons of molasses waves (25 ft tall at their peaks) burst from a storage tank, and rushed through the streets at 35 miles per hour!

Cheems edited to be a 1910s newsboy in an old photo of the North End with text reading "Boy oh boy the molasses in that tank sure does smell delicious on this fine day in Boston, the 15th of January, 1919. I'd gladly swim in the stuff if I had the chance!"

With all the Meta being a horrible evil company and not being shy about it anymore, I feel really bad for all the VR devs fam. Meta has a monopoly on VR and you have to suck it or leave the VR gaming dev space.

Voidfarers,

Social media is an indispensable means of marketing and customer relations for all businesses. We are on these platforms to hear you—to be approachable and held accountable by our fans.

But as a company founded by LGBTQ creatives, we cannot abide the reprehensible behavior of Meta Platforms, Inc. in service of unsustainable growth. Meta’s embrace of Generative AI, fake accounts, and “free speech” without any reasonable restriction for violent rhetoric against minorities creates an unsafe platform for our community going forward. To continue to use Meta’s products while the corporation makes these business decisions would run afoul of our own commitments made during our Kickstarter campaign.

Sublight Games will be taking an indefinite break from Meta’s top platforms: Facebook and Instagram. We ask that you find updates from us on our own website, YouTube, and Bluesky. Fans are also encouraged to engage with us on the Sublight Games Discord server.

Thanks for flying our wing. --Sublight Games

Realization that this is my first official year where I’m entirely not a student anymore in any part of the year (those undergrad —> transfer —> grad school thangs). Also, sketchy experimental collage art style.

For me, it’s pretty divided actually. Twitter by far yielded the most freelance job connections (I hope Bluesky might replace that aspect), but Instagram has historically been best for print sales (the bulk of my income). For book sales, I think it has been Instagram and Tiktok.
