We put out an Indigenous noir detective game and will (finally) be doing a marketing campaign for it this year!

Today, the U.S. Copyright Office announced that it would not support the needs of libraries and archives to increase access to video game history, leaving over 87% of classic games legally inaccessible through any practical means.

While we are disappointed, the fight is not over. See our full statement here.

It's that time of the year again where me and my fellow Indigenous game devs get swamped with asks about Indigenous-made games.

To make it easy we have a database of Indigenous-made games, articles, academic writings and video essays on Indigenous video games:

We have gotten BGG.com to add Cherokee to their list of languages. Winter Rabbit is the first game in their database published in Cherokee. The English version has Cherokee peppered throughout, and plan to include extra components entirely in the syllabary.

*whispers* I'm also fine giving free money to the poor

BOO-trous BOO-trous-Ghoulie @dlbowman76.com · May 5

UBI is not about giving free money to the poor.

UBI is about creating a social structure so that your life and the lives of your loved ones won't be destroyed if misfortune should befall you.

THIS is the framing that needs to be used.
