Thanks for hosting another #PitchYaGame! All Will Rise is an upcoming narrative courtroom deck-builder about ordinary people who make the powerful pay for destroying our future. Play as a lawyer, as she and her team take a corrupt billionaire to court for a river’s murder. bsky.app/profile/allw...

An early decision in the development of All Will Rise was to go for a 'sideways speculative' version of Kerala - not in the future, but an alternative present reality that has many interesting similarities and differences compared to our own world. #gamedev #indiedev #speculativefiction

We made a game questioning the role work plays in our lives. We pitch it as an anti-work work-sim! So many amazing games out their that have made us stop and think over the years, hoping we get to contribute to that as we keep going. And it's great seeing others do the same.

Reading about how one motivation for younger people to get involved in the Mamdani campaign was loneliness and a desire to find community brought me back to thinking about alchemizing the loneliness pandemic into social action. Wrote about that a few years ago: anticiplay.medium.com/heart-conste...

Hey, do you like violent video games? Because the alpha demo playtest of MÖRK BORG Heresy Supreme is now LIVE on Steam. store.steampowered.com/app/3216800/...

Yeah that’s me live streaming for the first time in ages. Let’s see how that goes…

I have between 5 and 10 games before reaching retirement age, and given that I'm an indie I'm going to make damn sure that if I'm going into the hamster wheel for it, each one of them is something I care about.

Hi all, our producer @nielsmonshouwer.bsky.social will be doing an All Will Rise live Stream on www.twitch.tv/speculativea... in about 15 minutes, tune in to chat about All Will Rise, Game production, Activism, and to see the current state of development of All Will Rise!

I'm not a game developer, but I have a project about nature, resources, and conversations: ridiculous.software/Naturando/ (needs playtesting) (commisioned as an essay by the Spanish group Arsgames. Essay got out of hand, become something else) (I'm not used to essays needing playtesting ¯\_(ツ)_/¯)

Hello, new followers! We are Speculative Agency, the team behind All Will Rise! It’s our upcoming video game, where you play as a lawyer who fights for the rights of the earth, as she and her team take a corrupt billionaire to court for a river’s murder. #GameDev #IndieDev #IndieGame

A historical victory in New York! With the All Will Rise team we have followed @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social 's campaign closely, since the game is as much about mobilizing social action FOR a better future as it is about the work to fight AGAINST corporate powers. #mamdani #indiegames #politics

Cool stuff

We're in the @bandcamp.com 'best metal' list for October! Featured along the fantastic new Yellow Eyes record and other greats. And 'stridently political hardcore punk cloaked in the chain mail of black metal' sounds good to us: daily.bandcamp.com/best-metal/t... #blackmetal #hardcore #metal

I’m working on a small board game project to show people locally the unfair asymmetry the Palestinian people faced during the British mandate era of the 20s/30s. Inspired by the anticolonial work done at @wehrlegig.games

Calling all game developers working on making the future a better place, or addressing the bullshit of our current time in some creative way! Where are you? Let's connect and team up.

Make your case and win the battle for your future. It's in your hands. Wishlist All Will Rise on Kickstarter now: www.kickstarter.com/projects/spe...

I'm surprised @nyamakop.co.za's Relooted hasn't come up. It's the most overtly political game I can think of. bsky.app/profile/an-i...

I've made social impact games about logical fallacies, feedback loops and climate change, and most recently community organizing to overcome systemic issues. Plus hackers helping people get healthcare.

Made a starter pack based on cool responses to earlier thread (see below) about games that fearlessly work toward a better future and find the fun in the political struggle. Starter packs = a bit over but still. Ping us if you know more folks: go.bsky.app/Fhw51ip #gamedev #indiedev #indiegames

Bluegrass Demo out very very soon! Wishlist now s.team/a/3719130 #indiegames

I run a new studio that's been traveling the country interviewing Vietnam Vets for a new title tackling PTSD and generational divide! Teaser and press release coming 11/11 :)

We played the demo of this already and it looks amazing and hilarious.

This thread is turning out to be quite interesting for a project I'm involved in - a series of videos and texts for game developers focusing on more sustainable futures together with some major partner organizations (more soon).

omg remember when the maga-gaters (maga-gamergaters) were all mad that wolfenstein was deemed "political" like bro hate to tell you about all that rage against the machine ur listening to

So I recently finished playing Mini Mini Golf Golf by @threemoreyears.bsky.social and I think you might have some common stuff to talk about. They're tackling climate collapse through the lense of a simple golf game, merged with Immortality-like segments you have to decode. It's really good!

Must be up there re: Best Key Art for a videogame, no?

We're making a game with the central thread of punching up: where you play as a tiny sparrow trying to free all the other birds who have been trapped by The Storyteller. We're light on lore, but hopefully everyone who plays feels freedom singing in their veins! store.steampowered.com/app/3473440/...

Duskpunk builds on Citizen Sleeper's framework, but engages with revolutionary themes more directly. The demo showcases the core gameplay and mood really well, and the full game is out in a few weeks. bsky.app/profile/jame...

Do you know about a game being developed or maybe released right now that aims to do something good for society while being firmly in the entertainment game space, engaging as hell? We're curious to find peers #indiegames #indiedev #gamedev

You’ll want to keep an eye on All Will Rise! Our upcoming narrative courtroom deck-builder will soon be live on Kickstarter, but you can follow the project now to be one of the first to know when it’s live! Follow us here: www.kickstarter.com/projects/spe... #IndieGame #IndieDev #GameDev

Can't wait to play this Ace Attorney-like game about climate change 🤩 #indiegames

I’ve been following the development of this game for a while and, if they can pull it off, it could be something special. Daybreak the board game also explores climate change and what we could do about it in interesting ways! PS please have a Mac version…

Yes! A lot has changed since that Article. Here's a more up to date story, in the Guardian: www.theguardian.com/games/2025/a...

And the trailer! youtu.be/2SCawl2XRWo?...

For that age group playing the game “All will rise” might be interesting as well. @joostvervoort.bsky.social can tell you were to find it. A story of the making of the game can be found here anticiplay.medium.com/all-rise-an-...

We are working on a cyberpunk future hivemind society interactive fiction/visual novel that must transition towards being a solarp(-i-)/u/nk society! We are surveying people to hear their idea of "Utopia" to help us write these happy endings! "To Hive and To Hold!" fastfrwrd.info/blog/utopia-...

We did it: Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector is now playable in French, Japanese, & Simplified Chinese! PLUS it's on sale on every platform too 🥳 ⭐ Steam: bit.ly/CS2Steam ⭐ Nintendo Switch: bit.ly/CS2NOA ⭐ PlayStation 5: bit.ly/CS2PlayStation ⭐ Xbox Series X|S: bit.ly/CS2Xbox

Omanakuttan. A powerful ally against the port expansion, if you can get past the gruff and sarcastic attitude. Notorious for giving too-honest quotes to journalists. We will need to keep an eye on him. #IndieDev #GameDev #IndieGame

Love these drawings by @pormaro.bsky.social <3

Congrats on the nominations Wispfire!

In All Will Rise, it’s not just the people who are affected by the oil spill leading to the river on fire. It’s animals too, including vultures. Becoming a symbol of the ecological devastation, Kuyili sees spectral vultures circling the billionaire’s - the culprit’s - tower. #Halloween #IndieDev

When we're playtesting All Will Rise, lots of people are #teamjoy. Her approach to problems is intense, honest, provocative, and exciting.

Disillusioned with law, Joy entered the space of activism 10 years ago. Joy challenges Kuyili constantly, but brings focus and dedication to her work. She has a sharp tongue, a no-nonsense attitude and energetic attention to even the most boring and repetitive of tasks. #GameDev #IndieDev

I think we all need to unite. It's time. Last chance.

Our team is all around the world, but some of us are in the Netherlands, where new elections just reshuffled things. Kuyili would be eager to explore new possibilites; Joy would be skeptical given the steady rise of the far right; Shintu would want to create some support for all the stress.
