I have one question.
I love your art. Even if it’s “raw” or “bad”. Keep making art because that’s what makes us human.

Israel is using Microsoft Azure to store recordings of every phone call made by Palestinians in the occupied territories, then using AI to analyze the contents and select targets. Microsoft is (dubiously) claiming ignorance.

Finished up the code I created some simple art for when people load the game onto their Playdate.
I’m hoping to publish Meteors to itch.io within the next week!

Had a lot of fun making these gang vocals. I tried playing 10 different characters from different points in the room to make it sound like a big group of people and not just copies of myself.

Coded in a simple title screen animation. Honestly I think the game is pretty much code-complete, so I just have to work on some packaging touches before publishing the game.

Fun fact: in the 1960s, Civil Rights protestors were given literal classes on nonviolent protest; they didn't all just spontaneously know what to do.
So, if you're planning on showing up, this weekend: read this comic. And if you're staying home, signal-boost it/link it around.

I did my best to compile as many protest safety notes as possible into a one page foldout zine! Coincidentally…it seems the file has breached containment…like it’s available for anyone to print or hand out 👀⚖️

Added Japanese localization! Translated it myself so it’s not perfect. がんばった😅
Next step is to implement a way to update the text after unpausing.

Despite all the grossness that comes with the amount of AI-generated art I’ve seen recently, one really cool thing I’ve seen is artists making art as a direct response to and rejection of AI
