1 WEEK TO GO! 🎮✨

CTRL ALT RESIST opens Fri 8/22 @ The Supermarket a 3-day exhibition of games as protest, resistance & radical imagination.

Come play, reflect & resist.
📅 8/22–8/24

RESIST RESIST RESIST will be part of this exhibit. Please check it out if you are in the area.

The people have (not) spoken! We continue in debt. Thank you for your feedback.

Would you support a patreon? It would include regular updates, thoughts, design notes, exclusive games, first access, prototypes, and credits. But also we are scared of the damage money does to creativity and the pressure to deliver.

a cosmic yearning

Next week I release The Light Of Our Yearning. I've seen a few people play it on stream after finding it on the @hauntedps1.bsky.social demo disk as the hidden game. But I have yet to see someone discover the full experience. Sivani, my partner and collaborator, did some excellent writing on this.

"ocean::ephemera . . . is a surrealist sea of sound. It captures that feeling of awe when you look at something you can’t quite make out, but it’s all so grand. The movement of waves, coupled with sound that fills up a vast unknowable space, enveloping you as you journey through… something."

itchio comment on ocean::ephemera written in Chinese: 首先，谢谢 虽然我似乎没有抓住这款游戏的真正本质，但我还是能在其中找到一丝失落 彷佛漂浮在海洋中，什么都不用考虑，就能扔掉属于人类的一切，我会慢慢消失，身体，还是意识。旅程很短，但我目睹了超现实的风景，就像一场梦 就像短暂的一生，短暂而灿烂

Same itchio comment machine translated from Chinese to English First of all, thank you. Although I don't seem to grasp the true essence of this game, I can still find a sense of loss in it. It's like floating in the ocean, without thinking about anything, I can throw away everything that belongs to human beings, and I will slowly disappear, my body, or my consciousness. The journey is short, but I witnessed a surreal landscape, like a dream. Just like a short life, short and brilliant.

Moved by these comments. This is why we do what we do. Thank you.

I'm in a physical newspaper! So cool. And a communist one, even cooler! This is my second print media mention this year. I need to get a copy of this!

Today in my Margini videoludici (At videogame margins) column for Italian communist newspaper Il Manifesto: @farfama.bsky.social's ocean::ephemera (and the previous city::ephemera).

Wow, we would love to read this! Thank you for covering it.
