Finally got around to writing my review of Sinking City 2, a survival horror game that I really, really enjoyed. It's also a game that openly talks about the ongoing invasion of Ukraine and how the war has affected the people living in the country and working on Sinking City 2.

But for the devs behind the game, Sinking City 2 is indeed a happy ending. This is a survival horror adventure made by folks living in Ukraine and dealing with Russia’s ongoing war against the country and its people.

It opens with a message about what they have all endured and sacrificed to create Sinking City 2. And at one point, while exploring the game’s creepy hospital, I found an out-of-the-way area filled with X-rays that show real injuries suffered by people the devs know as a result of Russia’s horrific, ongoing invasion of the country. It’s a grim reminder that this game was made somewhere that isn’t guaranteed a tomorrow.

Just rolled credits on The Sinking City 2. Had a great time with it, and I’m very proud of my friend @nshady.bsky.social and his writing work on it! It’s been so fun playing it and seeing all the ways the Frogwares team has levelled up over their last couple games all while in the middle of a war.

We've been doing an environment art pass on the dingy small apartment you live in in GO PHISH. As your in-game stress climbs the room itself shrinks, leaving less and less room for your life in it :( #screenshotsaturday #indiegame #indiedev

an in-development screenshot from GO PHISH, it shows a small apartment with one room. There is a bed, a freestanding wardrobe, a fridge, and a desk with a laptop and a lamp on it. There is a ceiling fan on a ceiling that is too short to be comfortable.

Lynda Barry did not squeeze your heart and simultaneously explain the point of all art with the barest of line drawings so you could tell me that AI is "inevitable."

HOW TO LOOK AT ART by Lynda Barry

In the first panel, a dog-headed woman, a mother, looks at a painting in the "Madonna with Baby Jesus" vein. A small blobby child is standing next to her.

Mother: IM NOT SURE HOW TO LOOK AT ART.
Child: WHATS SPOSTA HAPPEN?

In the second panel the dog-headed mother holds up her hands (paws?) trying to explain to the child.

Mother: SOMETHING BIG. A REVELATION.
SUDDENLY YOU JUST UNDERSTAND.

In the third panel dog-headed mother goes back to looking at the painting. The child holds up their arms to be lifted.

Mother: NOT SURE HOW TO MAKE IT HAPPEN
Child: HOW BOUT LIFT ME UP SO I CAN SEE BETTER

In the last panel, the dog-headed mother is holding the child, their position mirrored by the Madonna and baby Jesus in the painting.

This afternoon the Cosmic Soup Games TikTok account was banned? Apparently we were "commercialising regulated materials". I suspect it's because we talk about phishing in GO PHISH and a bot thought we were selling crime tools or something... but no I am just marketing my bideo game

we at xbox are coming to terms with the AI-fueled hardware crunch, which we helped create, failing to meet profit margins, that we made up, declining software sales, because we're self-cannibalizing our games specifically, and also everyone hates us which, believe it or not, also our fault
