⭐ It's possible to address traumatizing topics without creating #trauma in the process.

🔁 Our free game ADRIFT is an example of that. The game is about #consent but is appropriate for all ages. It's a quick game so you can replay it if you don't get each scenario correct on the first try.

🖼️ It was even re-created for the MOD. museum in Australia.

💜 April is #SAAM.

I've got a new game fresh out today! Gold Brick Simulator is my first independent commercial game, and only a strictly limited number of copies will ever be available to buy! For the whole month of April, 100% of every sale will go to itch.io for hosting my work for free all these years.

Damon L. Wakes · New Game: Gold Brick SimulatorBrand new today, Gold Brick Simulator is my first independent commercial game! I’ve worked hard to make this one a complete, polished experience, and I hope you’ll enjoy it. Just look a…

For the Western releases of Enduro Racer for the Master System Sega cut five of the original ten courses from the Japanese version and removed both the dirt bike image on the title screen and post-game map presenting the player's progress. ✂️

Why? 🤔

They wanted to fit the game onto a cheaper 128 kB ROM as opposed to the original 256 kB Japanese version. 🇯🇵 ⬇️ 🇺🇸🇪🇺

"Rabbiman Adventures is a #videogame available on mobiles and has recently been released on the popular PC gaming platform #Steam. Developed by Charity Fund "770", Israchem LTD, and Teamtiferet Team, the game is similar to its contemporaries with its colorful visuals, 3D-platforming gameplay interspersed with puzzles, and a 10-hour campaign. But where it stands out is the nearly unprecedented #Jewish representation in #gaming and the unique story behind it."

Kyle and I just finished playing Split Fiction! It was a really fun #CouchCoop game!

They could have worked slightly harder on the story and the dialogues, but the coop mechanics were really interesting! It was almost too hard for me (I'm a very average gamer haha) but the deaths are not very punishing, so it didn't annoy Kyle 😂

Getting it for free was nice (yeah EA game we liked!), but I would still recommend it!

Yep, I’ve also been spending hours lost in the world of #AssassinsCreedShadows on my PS5. I’m making very slow progress in the story but like others, I do not care. The world is so very beautiful, and the parkour-ability is so much more versatile than previous games, that I just walk around and enjoy the scenery. I barely even use my horse—I just walk around everywhere; I don’t even run.

I especially love the wind effects and how it blows objects around. It’s a hard effect to achieve, and it looks great.

I also appreciate the sound design in this game. In many places, there is nothing but natural environmental sounds to be heard. Music is introduced only to heighten story points and combat, and recedes into nothingness again once finished. Very nice.

Things I don’t like: frame rates aren’t great. Even at lowered resolution, dropped frames continue to occur. Also, the facial mocap seems quite bad, especially for a new AAA game.

But the game is overwhelmingly positive to me. Recommended!
