It's always pretty cheap anyway so this discount is just an excuse to beg for you to play it.

1 hour-long intense emotion slinging!

This is what the game I'm making looks like.
A scene with a traveller on a cliff with balancing rocks and cairns, and a strange man sitting on one of the cairns. A traveller in front of a large, round door that says "Vault door" in a science fantasy style environment. A close up of a hooded, bearded elderly man saying "Step forth, take this phial of sacred oil." A traveller in a science fantasy room with arched windows, hanging banners, a net over a bed and various ornaments and devices visible.

Hey Blue-sky! I'm working on Innkeep, a game about being a sneaky innkeeper! You get to:

- Serve ale and food. 🍲🍺
- Eavesdrop on guests to learn their secrets. 🤫
- Develop a silver tongue and turn on the charm. 😏
- Sneak into bedrooms and steal trinkets. 💰
- Summon demons?? 🕯️🔥👹

#screenshotsaturday
A demon standing in a glowing pentagram. The player stands nearby, shocked. A sorceress in a purple and dark blue robe is raising a heart to the air. It is in a pixel art style. Theft mini game screen. We see a sleeping guest in a bed, a backpack nearby, and a cursor hand holding a sword. The common room of the Weary Pilgrim inn at night. It is in a pixel art style. There are four tables, around which sit eight people in three groups. The player character is wearing an apron, and listening to a conversation at one table. An alpine vista is in the background. In the foreground the player character is walking along a muddy road, towards the Weary Pilgrim inn.

I spend a lot of time talking about all the things historical games do wrong when representing (or, mostly, not representing) women in the past - for a change, here I wrote about some games which I think do something better and more interesting in their depictions of historical women & girls!

IF you decide to contact these companies, be it phone, email, or whatever, be polite and friendly. The customer service people are not responsible for their business' policies, and they deal with enough shit as is.

Collective Shout, the group that took credit for bullying Mastercard into recently censoring more platforms, stated that apparently it took them ~1000 phonecalls to convince them to give them what they wanted?

We got like way more people than that don't we?

ok then. one angle of attack then needs to be actively bombarding Visa and Mastercard's phone numbers and emails.

are customer support phone numbers/emails the best avenue to start with or is there a better option?

The addendum to this is to run away from industry professionals who only want you to be there to gush about them and who only treat you as a thing they can get something for free from

Unfortunately there are still a few too many heroes you should not meet and certainly not hang out with
baroness.bsky.social Bertine van Hövell @baroness.bsky.social · Jul 23
My beloved juniors, please take this advice to heart

If you're invited along with industry professionals you admire, you don't need to put any effort into impressing them. You're doing just fine the way you are, everyone just wants to vibe. Partake in conversations just like you'd normally do.

I spent 6 years making this game, and it’s my best work yet. I think you’ll like it, too!
grundislav.games Francisco González - ROSEWATER OUT NOW! @grundislav.games · Jul 21
Rosewater, my Wild West adventure game, has been out nearly 4 months and has been very well-received!

But I also feel like it’s reached a fraction of its potential audience.

If you can spare a repost and help spread the word, it would be greatly appreciated!
