If you wanna do a little something extra for an indie dev near you, you could consider voting for us in "Most Anticipated", it *will* fulfill my personal vanity but it's also genuinely helpful for a relatively small project like us ...but only if you like Blanksword, of course...

Since so much of it is out there at the moment…

I’ve seen the take that rape is “a fate worse than death” a lot. This is usually from well-meaning people who want SA to be taken as seriously as it should be in a society that regularly sacrifices victims at the altars of Men With Bright Futures.

But it’s wrong. And it’s damaging and dangerous for victims to hear. You are not better off dead than raped. 

After your assault, you’ll navigate the feelings of betrayal and anger and hurt. You may experience suicidal ideation. You probably will. But you are not better off dead than raped.

There is a whole life you will live after SA. It may be different than the life you once saw stretch out before you, but it’s no less valuable. You will heal and grow and change. You will know more happiness than you could ever imagine from that dark, angry, fearful place you once inhabited. 

Your life has beauty and value and it is bigger than what SA took from you.

the first game i worked on extensively, "An Outcry", is on sale at a low 50% off with the Steam autumn sale! it's got those autumn-night colors, takes place in october, and has some jack-o-lantern type birds! (don't worry about the birds.) store.steampowered.com/app/1817470/...
A flurry of silhouetted cars with red taillights, bumper on bumper, streaming down a busy road. On the left of the road is a tall building - a subway station - built by Otto Wagner. On the right, there is an apartment  building, and a tiny person in purple. There is text at the top, which reads: "The Vienna city belt."A rotten, soot-covered political poster for a political party called "AFP", in front of the Austrian flag. The candidate's face is scratched and burnt away. Text at the top reads, decoding the poster: "'We will not be silence!' (Our crimes should go unpunished.)A man-sized, raven-like being with a black mask and glowing, burning insides, opening its beak and jovially holding up a beer-bottle while smoking a cigarette. A textbox at the bottom of the screen, spoken by this being, reads: "settle down among your kin, have a drink, kid, settle in!"The courtyard of a Vienna apartment building, covered in grey birds with glowing orange eyes. Most of the screen is bathed in darkness; only a spotlight shines on the person who emerged out into it, a bald person with a bandage around their head and a black censor bar over their eyes. Text at the bottom of the screen reads: "Your curtain may be calling. Breathe, unnamed. Know what you have to do."

Let's talk about naming your video game! This is something I come back to with teams over and over again. Naming is really hard. A decent name is hard to find, and a bad one will really make it hard for people to remember your game. Here are some tips.

If you claim to have never heard Crazy Frog’s “Axel F,” it says more about you than it does Mr. Frog. This about virtue signaling that you are better than entire genres of music, that your friends are not in the custom ringtone game.

DoorDash spent $1.4M trying to stop Zohran Mamdani from becoming mayor. This week's historic $131.5M enforcement action against DoorDash for underpaying NYC delivery workers shows why. Yet another reminder that the only thing that can beat organized money is organized people.

If you want some news to brighten your day... Also: "All proceeds from the shows will go to organizations supporting Palestinians." So not only is increased prices a nice slap in the face to Sheeran and his boring ilk, but the higher prices also means more money to Palestinians.

Pompeii is a UNESCO world heritage site not because it was remarkable in its prime, but because it survived to our era untouched: one moment, preserved for all time. But future generations won't know what OUR world was like unless we do the same. This is why we MUST bury Toronto with a volcano

Got a bit irritated so blogged about why we should celebrate a range of review scores and why outliers rock actually, for @criticalverdict.bsky.social
criticalverdict.beehiiv.com
We should celebrate a range of review scores
Control Resonant's recent release has garnered almost universal acclaim, but one "outlier" review dared to drag down the Metacritic score. Here's why that's good actually.

VNs can be great, but the ones i like always have some other elements of gameplay (Zero Escape, Ace Attorney) i think it's fair to question the absence of romance in other genres and be frustrated by the pigeon-holing

having read a handful of control resonant reviews, the one trend im seeing is that the game might hinge on whether or not you like dylan. so i am probably going to like it more from what little i know about the guy

Control Resonant's poor early pacing and combat balance makes way for a brilliantly deep action game that is bigger, more personal, messier and more human than original. My review: www.gamerguides.com/control-reso...
