I'm not saying that it's always been quite *this bad* but I am saying that I'm in my 40s and this has always been the America / US culture that I've known. If you grew up poor and with any identity-based marginalization, I'm willing to bet it's the America you always knew too.

here's our rough pallet for day and night in the game! with the day having a summer lo-fi vibe and the night having a neon cyberpunk feel the night will be the down time when you manage the shop and budget the day is for customers

originally we were thinking of setting the game on the pacific trash gyre, in the end we decided to separate the two ideas and come back to the idea of an intentional community on the pacific trash gyre another time. If we ever did we'd include discoveries like this: www.kcl.ac.uk/news/new-app...

#disability #sci-fi #game For the demo we have 3 very basic stories - a guy with a wheelchair that needs a repair - a woman with a prosthetic arm she doesn't want - and a woman with a locked prosthetic because of missed payments for the larger game we have around 25 characters 1/2

The game will have a range of stories, for example one will feature a character who was born without an arm and how she was pressured by her family to get a prosthetic she didn't want to make the people around her feel better. so she comes to you to help her sell sell it to someone who needs it.

I once stayed at an eco-commune that was built around disability access and it blew my mind. Every neighborhood had wheelchair ramps, nap nooks, meal trains, communal living, ASL translators, even service animals. It was diverse, inclusive and safe. #DEI #solarpunk #solarpunkart

Making a game about disability: making game about an underrepresented subject always means having little to know funding. for all the diversity claims companies have they see new stories as risks and new stories tend to be those told by groups who were long ignored and silenced. 1/3

some more info about the game: while the games setting is very clearly #cyberpunk the solutions tend to be #solarpunk in the full version you will earn money to upgrade the shop. this will allow you to create a more accessible shop, buy better tools, and invest in renewables 1/2

how did the game come about? picture the scene, its a time when twitter was twitter and elon hadn't bought it yet. cyberpunk 2077 the video game comes out and people are not impressed. (I here the game is worth playing now though) some people critiqued its use of sensationalism to promote it 1/4
