Can you put into words what that purpose is? You and the frog have really become icons of this protest.

There’s been a nice overall whimsy that has shown up. The frog is amazing. We had a bunch of other inflatable people here last night, too. I saw people playing Twister the other day.

What they rely on is fear. So by coming out in an absurdist manner, it speaks to them, to some extent, that we’re actually not that afraid.

It also dismantles their narrative a little bit. When they try to describe this situation as “war-torn,” it becomes much harder to take them seriously when they have to post a video saying [U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security] Kristi Noem is up on the balcony staring over the Antifa Army and it’s, like, eight journalists and five protesters and one of them is in a chicken suit.

ICE is not only chasing down every random brown person in Chicago, they have a cameraman following them to film this for social media. Cruelty and inhumanity as content.

Learned that I am being laid off from Heart Machine, and will be leaving the studio later this month.

Do you need a contractor? I've got a track record of leading scope-friendly script revisions late in dev. I have also done a lot of consulting on new IPs and pitches/demos. Feel free to DM me!

There are, of course, plenty of limitations (obvious and not-so-obvious) - I’ll dive into those next time 😉

And finally, here are a few fresh in-game shots (and remember - the game is still about flowers! 🌸)

My 6-year game project about Iran, my family, the apocalyptic scenario of nuclear war, and the tragedy of suicide — Onto Maizilind Unto Infinity — comes out tomorrow on Steam and Itch!

Could not have made it this far without @yulelepalacios.bsky.social and his beautiful artwork!

do you get this problem where shader graph gets exponentially slower the more nodes you add or is it just punishing me in particular

reading all this &, i think i am kind of doing this with my current project, but im not really losing sleep over it. im not trying to recreate a game or style from the past, but rather chasing some specific emotions that once had an impact on me. then hopefully using that as a departure point
