OMG abandoned trolleys confirmed in Call of the Golden Valley! 💙 Phillipson is now officially canon.

But seriously, everybody buy @osaurusstudios.bsky.social's game now. It captures the vibe of rural Australia perfectly, wrapped up in an awesome mystery.

When we decided to add Cybertrucks to BraveCart's carparks, we knew we had to make them as realistic as possible.

In other words, they explode all the time.

We're super honoured to be bringing BraveCart to the Games for Change Asia-Pacific summit this year! I'll be yapping about making an eco-focused satire about consumerism, duopoly and waste and how we're using it to turn players into agents of change.

(...and smashing big corpo)

Just make it exist first. You can make it good later.

(six months later, in this case)

BraveCart’s levels are linear, but the environments are alive! Lighting, scenery, weather even down to the supermarkets and enemies themselves change every time. We're trying to tell a crafted story in a dynamic world 🩷

Time to meet the enemies you’ll encounter in #bravecart. First up, Patrols- the foot soldiers of Alphabarn and Omegamart. Underpaid, angry and hell bent on returning you to servitude. RESIST!
