Syphilisation is now available for purchase on Steam! It is a post-colonial 4X game where you play a student doing a group report on Gandhi, Churchill and the Raj.

Anthology of the Killer is on Steam now. It's what the folks in the biz call a "masterpiece" so if you don't already own it, it's a bit of a must-have. It's on itch too, I assume with the same added features (the bonus rooms are not to be missed).

Anthology Of The Killer is out on Steam now. A brilliantly funny series of horror-comedy shorts (all adding up to one big narrative) from the creator of Space Funeral, Goblet Grotto and many other extremely weird things. Huge recommendation to all.

october 7th permanently shaped postcolonial studies as a discipline in that it revealed beyond all doubt just how many scholars are careerist unprincipled charlatans who wouldn’t know what solidarity looked like even if it set up camp occupying the center of campus for weeks

Canadian games folks/developers!
If you had a video game release this year or are having it release before the year ends—please, make yourself known to me, please!
If your game is solely/mostly Canadian-developed—then I would very much love to email you!
Please, retweet/aid!
The @dirigiblebill x @rockpapershot work has been absolutely fantastic and this piece on the FADT of labyrinths is excellent.

On Some Goodbyes We Made, a game that I'm definitely going to play and one that's definitely going to hurt me.

This is a very interesting look behind the scenes of an almost collaboration.

I hate to brag but I'm going to do it anyway. My game won the IGF Design Award, has an overwhelmingly positive rating on Steam, and all proceeds go to funding an undead takeover which surely cannot be worse than anything that living politicians are proposing. Buy it, you churls!

I wrote an introduction for a @studiooleomingu exhibit a while ago and finally put it up myself now. I'm honestly really proud of it. It's one of the best postcolonial pieces that I've written.

With regards to the last repost, I often think about the DIY indie game marketing roundtable I attended and how I'm pretty sure only one person suggested "helping each other" or "promoting someone else's work". Collaboration seems like the 1st DIY step!!!
Many thanks to @phoenixsimms and @unwinnable for this exceedingly erudite look at Syphilisation.
"[M]urthy seeks a procedural rhetoric of collaborating nations and history from the perspective of those below."
@phoenixsimms talks to Nikhil Murthy about his game Syphilisation, a postcolonial take on 4X games like Civilization: unwinnable.com/2024/09/05/ad…
