Kyle made this post over a month ago and our bargaining partners have refused to budge. Our lives are not a game for them to play, our voices and bodies are not puppets for them to idly amuse themselves with for free.

The entitlement towards labor, artistry, and gig workers stops now.

It has been 194 days since @sagaftra.org actors started striking video games. In that time, we have signed over 150 games to Interim agreements, proving that our demands are more than reasonable. But the bargaining partners still refuse to give us anything more than lip service. (cont'd)

We just want to personally thank @rexr0sario.bsky.social our voice actor from Direct Line for always keeping us informed regarding SAG-AFTRA updates!
jettbarker.bsky.social Jett Barker @jettbarker.bsky.social · Mar 1
VERY FUN NEWS! ✨

SAG-AFTRA's Game Jam Waiver is now publicly available!!

There's no way I can fit absolutely everything I want to say about it in 300 characters—both about how to use the waiver/why it's so neat + how absurdly grateful I am to the folks who helped make it a thing—but it's SO cool.
Wall of text reading "What's the Game Jam Waiver?" Followed by "It's really cool!! The game jam waiver is a bespoke "child" of the TBA geared toward the development of games created in a pro bono game jam space (i.e. the game is created within the parameters of a game jam, the final product's not monetized, the dev makes no money, the cast makes no money)." It then explains the mechanics of inputting game data into the jam waiver portal (currently not public/in final QA) and getting approval. The TL;DR on the right reads "TL;DR: Is it being made for a jam? Is no one making any money? If yes to both: congrats!! You can use the waiver." At the bottom of the TL;DR is "If ever you want to monetize the game, it would need to transition from the game jam waiver to the full Tiered Budget Agreement." SAG-AFTRA’s Game Jam Waiver is Now Available!! 6 months of wrangling bureaucracy later… If you are a game director, team lead, or authorized representative who has spoken with your team/game director/etc. about using SAG-AFTRA's game jam waiver and would like to formally apply to it (which allows for the hiring of both nonunion and union talent onto your project, makes any voice acting for your game compliant with the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike, and means your cast can promo even mid-strike once the game's out), the form is NOW AVAILABLE! https://www.docusign.net/Member/PowerFormSigning.aspx?PowerFormId=4968bfd6-aee4-40e9-a15c-91aaf16293bb&env=na1&acct=1a51019c-9a2d-4e97-b327-9df3349eaa2a&v=2 Please note that certain fields on this form are formatted for US-specific addresses; if you are filling out the paperwork for yourself/someone you're authorized to help and you live outside of the United States, fill in the fields to the best of your ability and then write "N/A" in non-applicable fields. When filling out this form as a producer, please include your given name and surname (not a username; non-legal given names are OK). This form's data is not public-facing, but the union does need it for their records. In terms of "What do I need to do after I submit this?" Send out a copy of the Game Jam Acknowledgment Form to all performers in your cast (names included can be professional names/doesn't need to be folks' legal - please no usernames) As a warning: DocuSign's method of downloading gives you the option to download all the docs as a combined PDF or separately. You will want to download them separately, or else the whole of the Tiered Budget Agreement (all 80 pages!) will be included as well. You do not need to fill out the Final Cast List document; it has been included in the form purely for your reference and records. File away the copy of the waiver returned to you with SAG-AFTRA staff signoff once you/your contact-person receives it Have fun making games!

Luv Parade would not exist without our incredibly talented and amazing Lead Programmer, Elissa Campbell!

She is the heart of Inky Cosmos, which would not exist without her! Especially, not in #GODOT!

The drawing of a blue pink Mokia cell phone with a Luv Parade sticker near the top is half show on a teal and pink dotted background. In its green screen the following text is shown: Elissa Campbell, Lead Programmer of Luv Parade. Above that text is a battery icon that reveals it's low with only two pips, and a cell tower signal that shows 5 cascading pips.

Splash illustration concept of a game starting screen featuring two characters in front of a digital billboard. It is primarily a red-magenta, with a logo and SACER Medical in white at its center. Cheats, a man wearing a big fluffy coat and wearing an orange helmet, is tagging the surface with "MACHINE SYMPATHY" while Adra, wearing a long coat, short skirt, and torn stockings, has their flip phone open and glares at the viewer.

Thank god BlueSky has video so I can share my work! I'm so proud of my work with @inkycosmosgames.bsky.social on their recent indie horror VN, DIRECT LINE ☎️

This is one of my favourite scenes #voiceactor #visualnovel

The team is currently hard at work on our next game, which is far larger than our first. Taking the lessons we learned from Direct Line, we decided to switch to GODOT from Ren'py, and we now have a much better idea of how to handle .ogg audio.

Stay in our orbit, you'll see our next game very soon!

Our first game, Direct Line, features the amazing voice acting of @rexr0sario.bsky.social as Rosario (the best coincidence) made for #O2A2!

Only One of Any Asset (O2A2) was a micro visual novel game jam with a 1K word limit, 1BG, 1 SFX, 1 VA, 1 Sprite/CG... ect.

inkycosmos.itch.io/direct-line
Upon a black background tall and thin red letters spell out the game title Direct Line. The words are split to nearly fill the space from top to bottom. To the right, the outline of a ghostly transparent hand reaches down toward an eerily gray glowing red 1980's phone receiver. The red cord from the phone spirals up the extended arm, allowing it to dangle, just out of reach.

Upon a black background, three golden stars trail close to a white pen nib as it dips into a swirling cosmos of lavender and teal, smaller golden stars appear within it. A large drip extends down from the bottom swirl, heading towards the studio name below, Inky Cosmos, that matches the colors within the swirling cosmos above.
