quote [ "I've never seen a character like mine," says Gourrier. "It's a rarity. It should be the biggest indicator or guidepost that so many people are moved by this one particular character. Why shouldn't there be more? Shouldn't [games] reflect the world around us?" ]
Great read on Teen Vogue on representation and technicality. Via Jank.

quote [ reviews can mean a lot to smaller developers, so I'm gonna put out a little call to action. ]
This is the good type of snowball schema where people recommend each other games and support smaller devs.
Note that this links to a Bluesky aggregation tool ? you might want to check on the original feed which has a little more recommendations. Also, I didn't know you can follow people's reviews on Steam, some people do this very diligently.

quote [ During InterfaceX26 we are celebrating Fake OS games, bringing together 150+ developers to spotlight the genre. We are making our games easier to discover by coordinating a community push to tag them all on Steam. Alongside that effort, the event features a week-long sale and a live showcase of brand new games. ]
An interesting initiative: devs asking players to tag their games with a new, made-up meta-tag Fake OS. Several games come to my mind that fit this scheme, they also offer some helper on their propositions.

quote [ This is the original soundtrack for the game Distributrains. This music was sequenced using Cakewalk 3 and Anvil Studio 2002 on a personal computer from 1998 [?]. The soundtrack is meant to induce a flow state during each cycle, while simultaneously enhancing the player's intuitive sense of time on repeated playthroughs [?]. ]
Someone requested the soundtrack on the game's itch.io page as a zoning out helper ? the actual game is hailed as "an awesome middle ground between OpenTTD's janky half-baked systems and Factorio's life-consuming complexity" in the comments. It's $8.03 on itch and it's sole creator has a repair blog with retro tech dumpster dives going on.
