IT EATS PLANETS is now publicly available to read!

A queer, sci-fi comic about heists, ancient evil and fighting to survive on a dying planet. New pages every Thursday.

Please kindly check it out, give it a read and share it

🔴 iteatsplanets.com 🔴
A three armed woman in a prison jumpsuit with a mullet walks in handcuffs along a metal walkway away from armed guards in futuristic, padded armour and helmets that completely hide their faces. Behind the woman the title "IT EATS PLANETS" is emblazoned in bright red. At the bottom the author's name "Samantha Mackenzie Greer" is written in red too. In the background is a landing pad with a large, well used helicopter with fumes falling from its exhaust pipe. Above them is a dark sky of green clouds though a parting reveals the void of space where a ringed gas giant is silhouetted against a red sun. A blueish, gloomy derelict factory floor with an avalanche of garbage in the foreground and sides of the frame with a sliver of floor space guiding the eye under a concrete bridge and past heavily graffitied columns, to a large, towering machine and altar at the centre. A person in a poncho sits there, waiting beneath the collapsed ceiling where far above we can see towering pipes of extraction criss crossing to form a dark, steel sky. A comic page. A vertical panel on the left side which depicts a mysterious person in a poncho coming down the steps of a trench and alleyway carved out of rock, covered in graffiti and with pipes criss crossing above. On the right are a panel of this person rustling under their poncho and a second panel show them looking up some small orange case with a relieved smile, held in the hand of a previously concealed third arm. A third panel shows them concealing this object, their attention drawn to something off panel.

Totally ludicrous that steam is happy to allow its monopolistic store to be flooded with waves of tasteless, tacky bullshit, including borderline scams, and yet will bring itself to intervene when a game's artistic sensibilities don't align with their incredibly vague, nondescript values

Our upcoming game HORSES was preemptively banned from Steam, with no path to appeal. The game will still launch next week on December 2nd and will be available on EGS, GOG, Humble, and Itch for $4.99. Here is a detailed FAQ covering what happened: horses.wtf/BannedFromSt...

Hey so you can pre register for our game now. This is sort of equivalent to Steam wishlisting in that it really helps us out. Might make the algorithm smile on us. Please have a look! 🙇‍♀️

Me, encountering a drawing on the timeline, from the queer fetish artist I followed over one modest bit of fan art and kept following out of solidarity, of a buff dog man getting graphic cock and ball torture:

Oh wow, that line art is so impressive!

In case you missed it, Cameron Kunzelman joined us on our most recent episode to talk about The Authority. We talked about (among other things) the power of images like the one below to express ideas that the script might not always be up to…

Streeting is admitting that the Pathways “trial” already has a predetermined outcome. Stuffing it with SEGM placeholders is evidence of this.

The only way we are going to end state-mandated torture of trans kids is to get Labour out of government completely.
Wes Streeting @wesstreet... • Nov 22 Dr Cass recommended a ban on prescribing them and a clinical trial to build that evidence. Kings College London has now launched that trial. 210 1737 © 114 1hl 315K

'Few games capture the spirit of indie game development quite like VA-11 Hall-A: Cyberpunk Bartender Action. What initially started out as a short game for a Cyberpunk Game Jam back in 2014, soon became a standout indie hit. VA-11 Hall-A delivers a heartfelt story of happiness in the depths of disaster, draped in a unique cyberpunk aesthetic and set to a distinctive synthwave soundtrack to match. It’s a truly remarkable visual novel, and the perfect choice for our Design Works range. Produced in collaboration with Sukeban Games and Ysbryd, VA-11 Hall-A: Design Works explores the corrupt metropolis of Glitch City, its culture, and the people who frequent the game’s beloved hole in the wall, VA-11 Hall-A. Written by talented journalist and author Ashley Schofield (Polygon, EDGE, Unwinnable and VGC), you’ll hear how this world came to be and the cyberpunk touchstones that inspired it — all the while lending insight into the history of Venezuela, where the team is located, and the unique challenges of developing a game there. VA-11 Hall-A: Design Works will be a celebration of this beautiful indie masterpiece, and the people that made it all possible. Alongside contemporary interviews with writer/programmer Fernando Damas and artist/designer Christopher Ortiz conducted exclusively for VA-11 Hall-A: Design Works, the book also features a collection of highlights from the ‘Daily VA-11 Hall-A’ blog posts directly from Sukeban.moe. You can also expect deep dives into the development of the game’s prototype and prologue; the bartending mechanics that put you in the shoes of disaster bisexual bartender Jill Stingray, and interviews exploring its iconic synthwave soundtrack/jukebox with composer Michael Kelly. VA-11 Hall-A: Design Works features detailed insight into the game’s early concepts and development, an exploration of Glitch City itself, and a deep dive into the programming, art and soundtrack — an unmissable read for any fan.' A magazine cover of Unwinnable Monthly #191, with the feature being my essay 'I Don't Want To Be This Kind of Animal Anymore' and art by Shafer Brown. An excerpt reads: In the dark times, should the stars also go out? 'Revachol is still. Silent. Decades of unrest, corruption and capital gain have reduced it to a shell of a city. And yet, under these sullen skies, a miracle is happening. The limbed and headed machine of pain and undignified suffering is firing up again.' My review of Hollow Knight: Silksong for Video Games Chronicle. 'Hollow Knight: Silksong review: A game that intends to make you suffer, even to its own detriment. Team Cherry’s sequel has a clear mission statement, but doesn’t seem to consider the consequences. 3/5 stars.' My review of Demonschool for Rock Paper Shotgun, included in RPS' Bestest Bests category. 'Demonschool review Saturday morning carcasses.'

There's still too much Capcom on this list, but we got sure as hell got some bangers in here...

Roose: Would you ever put a prediction market inside Roblox - like, let kids bet with their Robux and say, "I bet he's gonna steal a Tung Tung Tung Sahur?" Newton: Or, "I bet he's not gonna Dress to Impress." Baszucki: We would - I think we would have to do that - once again, I'll share some of the complexity. Every single country in the world has different legislation around loot boxes and kid gambling. And so we would have to be — it sounds very fun and obvious. Like, I love that — Roose: Oh, to be clear, I think this is a horrible idea. Newton and Baszucki: (laughter) Roose: I was just interested if you were thinking about it. Baszucki: Well, I actually think it's a brilliant idea if it can be done in an educational way that's legal. And so, imagine no free Robux, no free prizes, just a game called the Dress to Impress Predictor, where it's not like trying to get kids' money or anything like that. I would be a big fan of it. Newton: Interesting.

Playing Homeworld and Thief the same year back in '99 gave me such dizzyingly high expectations of videogames it's amazing I didn't bin off the entire medium during the subsequent decades

Cool free stuff alert: They're giving away the base version of Warhammer: Vermintide 2 this weekend.

Really good co-op first-person brawler about the world's most dysfunctional friend group fighting through the ratpocalypse.

There's some decent DLC but they've added a LOT for free over the years.

Thank you to everyone sharing the comic and a big hearty welcome to all my new readers!

As of today it has been a year since I launched IT EATS PLANETS!

Since launch I have released 60+ colour pages, which feels pretty good for something I'm unable to do full time. Huge thank you to every reader, commenter, sharer and supporter. I care deeply about my work and cherish every response ❤️
