Our world is a place of mystery and myth as much as courtroom drama and political strategy. Ecological destruction has profound spiritual reverberations. Kuyili, for all her irony and sharp playfulness, is sensitive to this reality. #IndieDev #GameDev #mysticism #spirituality #IndieGames

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.

Kuyili, Shintu, and Joy. Our team. Just three ordinary people who choose to stand up to the powerful, and make them pay. You’ll need to look after them during All Will Rise, making sure they don’t burn out from their pursuit of justice.

In All Will Rise, you’ll play cards to influence people’s emotional energies – Hearts, Minds and Guts. Engage their emotions, or exploit their vulnerabilities to make your points. Choose your strategy carefully, potential allies could easily turn into determined enemies.

When you’re out in Muziris, you’ll have the opportunity to talk to many different people. Engage their emotions, or exploit their vulnerabilities to make your points. Choose your strategy carefully, as potential allies could easily turn into determined enemies.

Kuyili and Joy from All Will Rise discuss the new landmark International Court of Justice (ICJ) ruling, which binds states to pay climate reparations for polluting. Given the ways states are ignoring the ICJ on Gaza, are YOU hopeful - or sceptical?

#IndieGame #IndieDev #ICJ
A comic strip of Kuyili and Joy talking. Kuyili says: See? Change the law, and we can change the system. Joy responds: Sure. If it's ever enforced. In response, Kuyili's positive facial expression drops.

After years away from game dev, I couldn’t stay silent about my people’s dehumanization. I made Dreams on a Pillow 🍉a game inspired by a famous Palestinian folktale about the 1948 Nakba.

I’m crowdfunding it now—please back & share!
