Thank you @pocketgamerbiz.bsky.social for this article! ✨

I truly do believe that there's far more people on the side of inclusion than against it, and that gives me hope.

Games do have incredible power: to entertain, comfort, educate, bring people together, and even heal, both physically and mentally.

We recorded a new @konsolifin.net podcast episode with a dear friend, games industry legend and guest of honor @davidbfox.com, and always wonderful @nikender.bsky.social! 🫶

Didn’t have a functioning webcam so here’s my ✨hey hi hello✨ photo greeting to make that up!

Tarja wearing Garfield beanie and smiling at the camera. She wears glasses too, and there’s a text “hello” as a sticker in the image. On the walk behind here are a guitar, sword, Skyrim, DnD and Back to the Future posters.

David B Fox and Tarja in a Discord call. Tarja’s camera isn’t on. Niko is there too put the image clips so that we can’t see him.

Alruna: End of History demo! store.steampowered.com/app/3440260/...

Alruna: End of History on Steam

Alruna; now in wide-screen! A different kind of Metroidvania, a tour-de-force of game design, with world-class temples and dungeons. Dead men yearn for Heaven, but Elysium remains out of their grasp.

Again, if you're a games publisher/investor scout (or do scout work for relevant funding sources), let me know.
