Seeing the Tozz card mechanic function in the latest prototype build is highly satisfying, especially as it was one of the first cards I designed to capture a distinct level of cultural disrespect... Plus @jackgutmann.bsky.social temp VFX onomatopoeia are so fun.

Al-Kabri is one of the villages featured in Dreams on a Pillow. Once known as a vital source of water for many surrounding towns and villages. In the game, we reveal one of the worst war crimes committed against humanity during the Nakba. Support us to tell the story www.launchgood.com/1948

Unlike other industries, the gaming industry is unable to take a stand against the ethnic cleansing in Palestine. Big companies dont want the risk, individuals dont know what to do. If you believe in this medium & want to help. This is a game about Palestine needs your help Launchgood.com/1948

The roster for The Arab League of Misfits is finally assembled. This key art represents deep research into regional pop culture, history, memes to create unique character designs for this digital trading card game. Every fighter brings a piece of 17 local heritage to the table. #ALoM #indiegame

Really loved @rasheedabueideh.bsky.social's philosphy on game development. He said "Making games is is blending art, tech, animation, and sound to evoke emotions" - Watch the full episode youtu.be/EfSUzhXf7Ws #GameDev #IndieDev #GameDevelopment #narritivedesign

This has been my stance for while. As someone who is fortunate enough to work in multiple art forms Videogame BY FAR is the hardest to create. You need be great at other forms of art just to be bad at making games.

Did you know that some crowd funding platforms don't even recognize you exist? @rasheedabueideh.bsky.social shares how being a Palestinian indie developer meant facing invisible barriers on major crowdfunding sites. Luckily he found home with LaunchGood for his game project Dreams on a Pillow.

Palestinian stories were always silenced This enabled everything to happen. From the Nakba to the current genocide Telling our stories is not a luxury Either it will raise awareness to stop the ethnic cleansing Or it will stay as a memory of a people lived & resisted Support NOW launchgood.com/1948

The lovely @jackgutmann.bsky.social did a podcast with @rasheedabueideh.bsky.social to talk about Dreams on a Pillow. It's such an insightful listen - so if you want to hear more about it, please go check it out. #Podcast #DoaP

After a long wait i have finally had @rasheedabueideh.bsky.social on the podcast. I always was a believer that games can be more than just shooty things and Rasheed is pioneering in that with his game Dreams on a Pillow. Give it a listen: youtu.be/EfSUzhXf7Ws

Yo, if you are fed up with AI this and AI that "Australia Did It" is 100% AI free! I'd know that because I worked on it. Good news is: You can wish-list it now 💖 store.steampowered.com/app/2396130/...

If you found yourself reading about the oppressed people of Palestine and went "But... what am i gonna do!" Well, you can support this game and help lift the dehumanization campaign been put on these people (and Arabs generally) by helping the game production. Change starts from within. Thanks.

Got in under the wire to get this posted before the end of May 15th! Check out @rasheedabueideh.bsky.social's game based on the real events of the Nakba 78 years ago. Games that are a tool to teach history and empathy like this are so god damn important maxutmost.com/dreams-on-a-...

Support the project now www.launchgood.com/1948

Rasheed is literally risking his life for this game. Israelis could decide to capture, torture, or murder him at any point for daring to share the truth of the Nakba or Palestinian culture. He truly believes in games and their power to tell these stories. Please help his courage not be in vain.

We achieved a lot in the last few hours with your help We need 7K more in the Next 2 Hours to get the 5K boost from Launchgood Please support NOW we can do this: www.launchgood.com/1948

I’m NOT excited and I’m NOT thrilled. I’m honestly scared to share this, but I’m not a coward. I have to show you what you helped us create. None of this would have been possible without your help, and we can’t finish it without your support www.launchgood.com/1948 youtu.be/D4qh1FAPEUo

We are collaborating with Launchgood on Nakba Day. Help us raise an additional $20k before 12pm EST and they will give us an additional $5k to our campaign. 6.1K Achieved 13.9K to go. www.launchgood.com/1948

On the eve of Nakba day, the great catastrophe in the history of Palestine in which more than 700,000 people have had to flee from the Israeli colonists almost 80 years ago, you should at the very least support a game that will tell this historical event which the west wants you to forget.
