Strangers on the Net by @softch by @softchaos.games is awesome enough it made me sign up for Gamefound, which I'd been avoiding—not on principal, but because I don't need one more platform. But here we are. I find it preposterous that it hasn't already funded.

Yes! @prairieeyes.bsky.social is back with an interview with Elissa!

"I used to do a lot of fandom RP, and a lot of my old RPs are just gone forever. I wish I could go back and read them [...] So in some ways this is like getting to have a piece of that memory back."

Hello to all my fellow boring file and rank leftists on the phone with Visa right now, calmly and politely telling their CS representative we won’t be emailing instead and logging our complaints. It’s how the conservatives pressure, and it works for them! Let’s try it.

If you want to know what it's like to play Strangers on the 'Net, you don't have to take our word for it! Here's @prairieeyes.bsky.social's interview with Willa, one of our early playtesters!
Strangers on the 'Net has been in the works for a few years now. Here's an interview with Willa, an early playtester in a Sailor Moon-inspired game.

"I would absolutely say that it is completely worth it both in time investment and pledging."

This, and so many moments of my own, are why I want everyone I know to get the chance to play this game. Wow, Allison, right in the feels. 💖
We've done it; we've reached 100 followers for the preview page!

So, here's why Allison feels this is the most important game that she has ever designed (and maybe ever will).

If you've followed, thank you! If you haven't, maybe this will encourage you to!

Such a great chat today! I loved the community's questions. It's clear that folks need alternatives to the cycle of hiring and lay-offs and burnout that are so common right now. We hope Soft Chaos can help model alternative ways of working and help share what we learn along the way.
Today, @jessromarcotte.bsky.social and @squinky.me went on the Indie Game Lunch Hour with @indiegameacademy.com host Willem to talk about coops! Take a peek here:
