Pressfire, one of Norway’s top gaming sites, played Hello Sunshine at the Tokyo Game Show…and they loved it: “Red Thread has something really special going on here. Not only does it look striking, it was also a lot of fun to play.”

Article’s in Norwegian but your browser can probably translate.

It'a pretty good, actually! But that doesn't matter to the rage farms and grifters. They saw a lucrative opportunity to get clicks and views. But their obsession with Dustborn is fascinating — I think they secretly love the game.

🎶 But it's actually sweet
All the time you've spent on me
It's honestly wild
All the effort you've put in
It's actually romantic
I really gotta hand it to you, ooh
No man has ever loved me like you do 🎶

One of the greatest joys of being in Japan: milk bread toast with red bean paste. At Komeda Coffee, this comes free with your morning drink of choice!

If you enjoy narrative adventure games…Dustborn is one of those, with puzzles, branching dialogues and relationships. The combat is optional — and you can also make it super easy. Check it out, you may enjoy it!

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:
www.citizensinformation.ie/en/employmen...

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

Beautiful photos from one of my favourite films — the final scene messed me up BAD when I caught it on TV at age 12 or 13, but I also believe it informed everything I wrote and created from that point on.

Shocking red: behind the scenes on classic horror Don’t Look Now – in pictures

Released in 1973, Nicolas Roeg’s Don’t Look Now is regularly acclaimed as a high point of British cinema, and a new book collects hundreds of images from the film’s production, many of them previously...

Today was a turn for a new game on stream, so we started Dustborn, the winner of Discord's vote. Got through the prologue and part of chapter 1 and still liked it as I did the demo we tried way back. Beautiful game and we've just scratched the surface. More to come on the rest of the week's streams!

Thanks for the review and for giving our game a chance! Even if it wasn’t for you, we appreciate the honest critique.
