something something HORSES something something the early techniques of cinema (as used in the modern video game) as sensory deprivation and oppression.

Oh, and just to add an extra layer of absurdity to this:

The game is fully reviewed on IGN. They confirm that the content is comparable to an M-rated movie.

Humble is owned by the same company as IGN. They have banned it because it is too scandalous.

the HORSES stuff is obviously ridiculous and depressing, but it is also worth asking ourselves: who has benefited from the "games are art" campaign? it has certainly not been the artgame makers, whose work continues to be shunned and dismissed as "not games"
holy fuck this is ridiculous, how can we claim games are art if art is this scary to our two primary distribution channels?
Yesterday, the Epic Games Store decided at the last minute not to distribute the game, after having previously approved a release build. HORSES is otherwise now available on GOG, Itch, and Humble for $4.99. www.horses.wtf

lrt really appreciate this review, black and white + silent film aesthetic as sensory deprivation is something i’ll be pondering on for a while

HORSES is disturbing as hell, but what stood out to me most is how it makes the very aesthetics of silent film feel violent and intrusive

To play the game is to feel control being wrested from you.

No Players Online - the full version of the viral abandoned online FPS horror game - is back on Steam. 🎉

The game was falsely removed weeks ago, just after launching, which has severely impacted the studio's survivability.

Please spread the word, and support it! ❤️

“Our father is dead.”

“I still can’t believe I am saying those words.”

The obituary I wrote for Shigeru MIzuki, easily one of the most influential manga artists of all time, second perhaps only to Osamu Tezuka.

He died more than 10 years ago today.

It's the last day of the month and my first blog post in a while... so, how do you paint November?

A blog about Pentiment, creativity and game development.

How We Paint November
For a long time, people told me to play Pentiment. It’s an adventure role-playing game set in 16th century Bavaria. It’s historical. So I should like it, right? The thing is, I’m less interested in…

Devs were only allowed a few (I believe two) tickets per nomination before Geoff charged them. Resale tickets were in the hundreds. And we all know what happened to Future Class (if you don’t, read my piece).
