a whole bunch of the new art has been put in and some of the text is in and in order. the menues are coming along as well. the demo is coming along nicely and when i get a second i'll film what we got so far. its not playable yet but its not crazy far off!

making a asset directory for the programmers! soon you might see actual footage of the game in its current state :) soon as in the next few months XD

sorry we've been silent! were still working on the game. been a few life events in different team members life that slowed us down a bit. were currently programming the first mini-game and making art for it :)

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.

Day and night for the shop. in the full version of the game there will be upgrades art done by @nyankind.bsky.social

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

very sarcastic and i love it

any advice on either 1) marketing on no budget? or b) doing scheduling on zero budget and across several countries? cause right now I'm struggling

People have begun demonstrating at Tesla outlets against the agenda of Elon Musk and other tech billionaires who are seeking to consolidate power under Donald Trump. These actions are assuming different forms in different places. In this thread, we will review a few of them. 🧵⬇️

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.

www.reddit.com/user/PotatoS... were also have a reddit, but unfortunately me the one in charge of the accounts doesn't really know how to use it. anyway here's a post about your youtube!

Disabled Britons suffering 'unacceptable treatment' at hands of DWP The damning report comes ahead of Labour plans to cut disability benefit spending www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...

Labour has been warned against any planned changes to the disability benefits system that would make them harder to access, as a new report arguing the economic value of disability benefits for those in need far outweighs the public cost www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...

Ugh... If your subtitles aren't readable, then they are NOT accessible. I appreciate that they have an option to change the handwriting to print, but these subtitles are PAINFUL! #CallOfTheSea #VideoGames #AccessibleGaming

“He accepted that some people would seek to coerce terminally ill people into a decision on assisted suicide but that a clause in the bill that makes this a criminal offence would ‘scare off people’.” Rape is illegal and common. No one fears arrest because rape happens behind closed doors too.

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

the brilliant @sfdirewolf.bsky.social Alice Wong wrote this, also last summer, connecting the attacks on Gazans and pro-Palestine protesters to attacks on the disabled, the unhoused, and on public health writ large — centered around mask bans.

this project does crucial work in keeping our Palestinian friends connected. please support if you can. (also Alice is an incredible person and if you're not following her, you're missing out!)

This thing which almost happened is part of Robert Santos' legacy. Disabled people had to fight to stop it. www.npr.org/2023/12/18/1...

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

California just debunked a big myth about renewable energy The state went a record 98 of 116 days providing up to 10 hours of electricity with renewables alone. grist.org/energy/calif... #renewable #energy #climate #electricity

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
