Happy Halloween!! 🎃🔪

Current testing procedure in our game involves pressing a button labelled 'assimilate all rubrics' which cracks me up every time, it sounds so fake.

wanna see what i've been working on? come check it out 👀👀👀

it's a little anxious over at the ol' pokodome with some big things on the horizon. Hug your fellow KO_OP dev

the next time we send out a newsletter we may or may not be announcing our next game 😇 Sign up so you don't miss it buttondown.com/ko_op

Mark your calendars, for GVH commissions will be coming back this wednesday 👀

If you're interested in worker-owned, democratically-run gamedev (and if you follow us, changes are that you do) you have to check out @ko-op.com's October newsletter, featuring the slides from @seemo.bsky.social's "Democracy at Scale" GDC 2024 panel! It's an amazing read!

😍

Our October newsletter has ARRIVED! 🎃 Check it out, and be sure to subscribe! newsletter.ko-op.com/archive/fanz...

You should join our mailing list before we send out our October newsletter next week! It’s been revamped with updates on our games, worker cooperative info, and staff picks from all corners of the internet. We think it’s pretty neat and we send it out once a month buttondown.com/ko_op

Hi, we don’t use genAI in any phase of production ESPECIALLY CONCEPTING because doing so would defeat the purpose and role of concepting. Ok bye!

every month in our work slack, we choose a new ✨vibe✨ and post stuff related to that theme, and this month's vibe is, of course, 🎃 SPOOKY THINGS 👻 like this point and click game, titanic: adventure out of time www.youtube.com/watch?v=85Fl... what are YOUR picks for this month's vibe? 🦇

So @princxporkchop.bsky.social and I have been working hard on establishing a revamped KO_OP newsletter that’s got updates, info on coops in game dev, and interesting media and art we’ve made or are into. Please subscribe and give us feedback!! 😌

People often ask us if there are any *other* gamedev co-ops, and the answer is always a bigger number than people expect, but, for our money, @ko-op.com is one of the greats! They're revamping their newsletter, and we hope you guys sign up too (we know we have)!

Laura has been helping us out on our next game and her work is brilliant. No brainer hire

You should all buy our new game when it comes out so that we can increase our salaries and hire all our talented friends being laid off. This is a perfect plan.

this is one of my favourites. i can't fucking wait to post pixel-perfect versions of all of these videos www.youtube.com/watch?v=AMri...

Ryan is a true jack-of-all-trades, in that he can do basically anything. Have seen him totally thrive in programming, design and writing. Approaches all tasks with curiosity and expertise. A ridiculously powerful asset on any team!

If Goodbye Volcano High was about #1 & #2, our new game is all about #5 🚀

Graduating high school isn’t the end of the world… unless you’re a character in @ko-op.com's Goodbye Volcano High, in which case it very much is! Find out why I really connected with this game about musical teenage dinosaurs in my latest article 🎸🦖

we can't wait to finally reveal Game 4, codenamed Project Pilgrim for eons (iykyk). Soon!!!

if you're gonna watch any of my animations for dodie, watch this one-- we really cooked on this !!!! www.youtube.com/watch?v=w5BD...

Do you want gayer games with gayer graphics made by gay people paid more to work less? Goodbye Volcano High is half off during the Steam Autumn Sale 🏳️‍⚧️ store.steampowered.com/app/1310330/...

I ANIMATED THIS !! (there's gonna be ten more so get ready for some spam!) www.youtube.com/watch?v=lKwF...

holy shit that’s exactly what I want! walking—no, running!—to pick up this award-winning gay game 🙂‍↕️

Did u know that if you have a dumb joke you want illustrated, you can just give Caitlin money and she'll draw it for you???

Work focus playlist: youtu.be/XBk3Oa_YHKM

i'm biased but i think these are cool ppl and an indie team that would be lovely to join

if any billionaires would like to buy us we think it'd be a steal

Graphic design is my passion! (I blame you guys over at @ko-op.com for this lol...)

HEY so here's something cool. i'm doing some animations for dodie's new album! here's the first one!! i'm an animator again!!! www.youtube.com/watch?v=0L2t...

This is probably one of the coolest things I never could've expected for a game we made. Really astounded and emotionally vibrating at seeing the love for GVH. 2 years later and I still can't believe we reached people in this way

Graham linehan once tweeted about GNOG being a really cool game and it's been a stain on our legacy ever since

We're bringing you the Classics, just how you Remember them! [ inaccurately, largely coloured by the time in your life when you first experienced them ]

after writing nothing on my blog for 2 months i finally wrote about brainworms that have yet to take hold but have been growing in power for the last decade while i've been capable of making video games and will inevitably fucking get me knivesforcats.online/the-2d-platf...

oops 😅😅😅

Really great to see such a solid turnout at the Art Gallery of Ontario for Video Game Arts Appreciation Night! Featuring all kinds of wonderful Canadian games, like @visaigames.bsky.social’s Venba, @localthunk.com’s @playbalatro.com and @ko-op.com’s Goodbye Volcano High. 🇨🇦 🎮

Have a lot of emotions about this but more than anything just feel a lot of gratitude for the kindness and love these folks have shown us. Thank you 🥺

ok I'm not gonna screenshot every single page BUT LOOK AT THIS THING I'M LOSING MY MIND

We’re not crying you’re crying

hey neat I'm doing a thing tomorrow!

every time i open up [REDACTED] i can't believe everyone at @ko-op.com is actually making a video game (laudatory)

gonna finally answer if they died at the end

come listen to me roast kyle live on stream
