sometimes games are made with duct tape & paperclips accidentally, under poor production process.

but sometimes games are made with duct tape & paperclips that a dev REALLY LOVED and MADE THEMSELVES and it would be insensitive and morally wrong to replace it with store-bought metal rods

Added support for parsing character motor tasks from strings.
This will make it easier to author cutscenes and dialog. 🐧😎

There it is. The most British thing to ever happen in the history of video games. Football Manager-branded pasties.

"Sega’s Football Manager will also be the focus of a vast
marketing effort from the publisher. For the first time the title
will launch on PC and PSP on the same day, and Football
Manager will have a Microsoft jointly backed four-week TV
campaign, including 20 spots in key football matches in the
Premiership and Champions League. The title will even be
promoted with Ginsters, seeing five million pasties branded with
Football Manager."

I'm so sorry to hear it, Emma. Will be on the lookout for you, and sending lots of positive vibes since I know it can be a rough one. ❤

Major companies and industry leaders need to protect developers, partners, and creators.

Speak out against harassment campaigns. Ignoring them allows the people who are already safe and untouchable to remain so, while leaving at-risk folks to face hate and harassment head-on and alone.

I *very distinctly* remember anyone who makes any effort to support me in the face of harassment, because so few people do. It is largely dealt with silently and completely alone, with 0 support (and some times actually disdain!) from those who pretend to be champions.

Please sign this petition to oppose censorship from payment processors and extremists!

It's made and supported by female and gender-marginalised people working in games. Collective Shout does not speak for us. They can't silence us. We will continue to stand up for freedom of expression in games.
