Speaking of indie re-launches happening years later, Phantom Brigade 2.0 is out this Wednesday.

Just about the only thing that *hasn't* been overhauled is the core combat, which was great to begin with. But the story, progression, management, mission variety, difficulty curve, etc are all new.

We once again thank the folks at @rascal.news for having an open announcement section on their site, especially since we've been using it for something actually serious this time.

Checking out Brush Burial: Gutter World by @knifedemonsoftware.bsky.social today

If it's anything like the first, I'll probably be at it all stream, so if you wanna see a demon with an incredible butt snap necks with her thighs at any point in the next 6 or so hours, drop on by!
www.twitch.tv/mogsk
A humanoid figure wearing a mask with six holes, all emitting light, large biceps, and rather large butt adn thighs has their leg hooked around the neck of a masked figure on the ground. They hold the downed figure's arm in both hands, as if to snap it. Beside them are the words "Brush Burial Gutter World" in a large font.

learn. make. broadcast.
we're running a small livestream development bootcamp this december and looking for 3-5 people who want to build something new.
four weeks. weekly virtual classes to get you ready to launch a show on cable two.
dm us if you want in. deadline 11/20.
a retro beige computer and monitor sit centered on a white background, the screen displaying a flowing forest river. above the monitor, the words “learn. make. broadcast.” appear in black serif text. below the computer, large bold text reads “Want to stream?” followed by a smaller line, “i want to turn your livestream ideas into action.” additional text describes a call for 3–5 participants for a four-week livestream development bootcamp run by cable two, with details on virtual classes, no show idea required, and instructions to DM @arbyparty or @cabletwo by 11/20.

My free 43-page guide to bridging the gap between digital games and physical spaces has been released.

Great for devs who want to bring indie games to local markets, shops, or spaces, and for organizers and business space owners to better understand indie devs!

finding out that Perpetual passed the million play mark this past week, which feels amazing. Its the first song I released post-transition, the first song as DV-i with my own vocals and a big stylistic detour to boot. Somebody even made a Corrector Yui amv tiktok for it (@VictimsOfPower on twitter)

I got a very moving Ask about avoiding defeatism on the forbidden website, and I wanted to share it because it's something I believe very strongly
a tumblr ask post. anonymous asked, If this isn't overstepping, do you have any advice for not falling into defeatism? You seem good at having hope for the future. Superdillin answered, It's NOT easy. The world doesn't make it easy. But take a look at someone you love. Or someone who brings you joy, whether you know them intimately or not. Would you want them to give up? At their lowest moment would you tell them there's no point, and that there's no chance that things get better? Likely not, but it's harder to turn that grace inward. To widen that same concept, make sure you are looking at the overwhelming amounts of people who are helping to make the world better. The food bank operators and the organizers and the caretakers and the volunteers. People who research under-funded illnesses and who vaccinate in their local neighborhoods. People who create art and share it with strangers to feel connection. People who make soup for their sick loved ones and who encourage them to achieve their dreams. None of those people deserve to be told that none of it is worth it. And the world would be worse if a single one of them gave up. And the world would be worse if you did, too.

Reshare: Thomas shares how despite never enjoying a Belonging outside Belonging game before, Harvest became his Game of the Year. It's a combination of its lush prose, rock-solid structure, and bloody folk horror.

ICYMI, I was able to finish a video that I was close to deleting because for two months, I was depressed and had writer's block. I guess sometimes publishing a video is its own reward.

Glad to see Polygon cover the resistance of game developers to generative AI--and to be able to speak briefly to one of the greatest dangers of this entire thing.

Gen AI doubles down on making MORE SPACE for production issues that *already make games worse.*

What happened today? Behind closed doors, the Law Enforcement Working Party group approved the revised Danish Chat Control compromise with broad support. While mandatory scanning had officially been dropped, Article 4 of the new text reframes and reintroduces it by obliging providers of e-mail, chat, and messenger services to take “all appropriate risk mitigation measures”. This effectively forces providers to scan all messages, including private, end-to-end encrypted content. The same article outlaws anonymous communication by requiring every citizen to verify their age before accessing a service, kneecapping whistleblowers, journalists, political activists, and people seeking help who depend on anonymity. Article 6 further imposes a digital house arrest and would ban minors from installing software which comes with a significant risk of grooming, such as WhatsApp, Instagram, and online games like Roblox. What happens next? The legislation now moves to the Coreper (Committee of Permanent Representations) for approval. Without major political objections, the Council will formally adopt its position. At this stage, both the Council and Commission unite in imposing mass surveillance on all 450 million citizens of the European Union and we enter a rushed trilogue. Unfortunately, while the mandate of the European Parliament does not suffer from the same flaws, the Parliament is traditionally known for giving in. What now? We raise our voices. Louder.
