It was our pleasure to animate the Undertale 10th anniversary logo for the stream! Here is a little thread showing the various versions.

First is the normal one. Always excited when there is room to animate confetti.

Confederate statues are “history” but a rainbow crosswalk dedicated to victims of a mass shooting is “political.”

Rich Raho @richraho.bsky.social · Aug 21

Workers under cover of night removed a rainbow crosswalk outside of the former Pulse nightclub, apparently as part of state and federal transportation officials’ aim to wipe “political banners” from public roadways. www.orlandosentinel.com/2025/08/21/r...

Rainbow crosswalk outside Pulse nightclub removed overnight

“We did everything according to state law, everything was compliant,” said Patty Sheehan, the city’s first openly gay elected official. “FDOT never moves that quickly with anything.&#82…

As more and more people are arrested by the feds in DC on BS charges for interfering with federal goons, I think it's going to be important to run a public campaign calling for mass jury nullification, both in grand juries and petty juries. Make it impossible for them to bring charges or convict.

I finally started a GG profile (basically Letterboxd reviews but for video games).

This is completely a bit, so read at your own risk. But I'd love to sincerely follow people back if you write your own reviews!

Sad news today. Bithell Games, having been unable to secure a new larger scale project, is reducing in size. This means that eleven jobs are being made redundant. This constitutes the majority of our full-time staff.

It became clear leading up to the release of our most recent game that we were not immune to the challenges faced by many game development teams seeking funding partners in 2024 and 2025. We’ve fortunately been able to communicate these challenges ahead of time, and work with affected staff to ease departures as much as possible via severance packages.

It’s important to state that this was an incredible team of exceptionally talented people. If you’re a developer reading this, and you’re hiring; anyone among those affected would be a great addition to your studio, please reach out if we can help to put you in touch.

This news will not impact the availability of our existing self published games and ongoing support for them. We are incredibly grateful for our audience, and hope that your interest in our work follows individual team members as they head into other roles.

Bithell Games was always defined and elevated by our people. Today we
are less.

The ALLMOTHER, she shines so bright.

But mother's glow is not as warm as it had seemed to be.

And it feels very far from me...
