Stika is a brand new stealth-horror game coming from Iklo Studios! Set at a scout camp in Ukraine in 2012, you must navigate the woods stalked by a Rusalka, save your friends, and uncover the secrets shrouded by the mists.
Prepare for your Stika! It might be your last...

So proud of our little game!!! This is what I've been working on and writing for since getting laid off 💜 we don't have much but we have a lot of heart!!
I'm so so tired. PLEASE research the Holodomor. If you've never even heard of it, then that is a MAJOR blind spot.
Yes, genocide happened under the hammer and sickle just as much as under the swastika.
It cannot be separated from the hatred. Give it up.

It would be extremely cool if a bunch of people called payment processors over Black Friday weekend to ask why they're telling people what they can and can't buy with their own money. This holiday season, give the gift of calling payment processors over Black Friday weekend
Spoke with a source who told me the call volume is so high, a call center for both Mastercard & Visa is bringing out pizza and ice cream so agents don’t quite amid the rush. Long waits are causing dropped calls.
What you’re doing is working. Call MC & Visa.

As all this disgusting Epstein shit starts surfacing more and more, I hope we don't lose sight of the fact that apparently every major media outlet knew everything and instead spent their time money and energy attacking the trans community.

Today I have an appointment with QMUNITY's pro bono legal clinic. But I'm still looking for recs cos it's not guaranteed they have the capacity to take on my case.
Please share!

After spending the weekend rereading Canadian and BC Human Rights laws and precedent, I'm on the hunt for a Human Rights Lawyer to challenge my sport competition ban. Pro Bono would be amazing. I have some leads but any other recs for BC lawyers would be appreciated

I don’t talk about it much because the situation doesn’t really change but it’s still insane to me what an enormous amount of really talented game developers are out of work. just whole studios worth of incredible people, often people who worked on beloved games, unemployed.
