I’m developing a game where you have to go back to assassinate Adam. It’s a first person shooter.

We were so worried about if ‘games were art’ that we kinda forgot to support art games and build a cottage industry/support system that allows art games to be made sustainably (and written about sustainably)

Seems to me that the fact that interested people can’t find games they find interesting and maybe don’t even know they exist is (a) obvs true so dunking on it is dumb and (b) a massive fucking problem for the artform that the corporate sector of the industry has no interest *at all* in solving

Nyamakop has now had multiple museums reach out now to ask if we need more artifacts for Relooted, and if we'd like to 3D scan parts of their African collection. It was very much not on my bingo card that real life museums would be asking us to fictionally steal their artifacts lol

I’ve seen some unwarranted comments regarding the game and it’s dawned on me that many people aren’t familiar with repatriation or restitution which I can assume is the premise of the game. (Yes this is an actual comment but I’ve pixeled it out)

Starting to feel like the 2010’s were a real golden age for making and breaking into indie games, and everything will be a lot harder from here on out. Hard to realize when you’re in it, but as someone who broke into indie games in that period, it feels a lot different now. Even when established
