Spoke to my source familiar with internal workings at Mastercard. The holiday call campaign re payment processor censorship is working, there is a lot of pressure being felt from your calls. This is resulting in increased response times at a core moment for Mastercard due to the holiday season

i played for judging this and liked it. super sad for Santa Ragione, and the general state of game censorship. re: Steam in particular, a landscape where everyone has to depend on a totally unaccountable monopoly to survive is not one that benefits artists in any way.
Our upcoming game HORSES was preemptively banned from Steam, with no path to appeal. The game will still launch next week on December 2nd and will be available on EGS, GOG, Humble, and Itch for $4.99. Here is a detailed FAQ covering what happened: horses.wtf/BannedFromSt...

Every game studio should have a Skinballs motivational poster, this is not a joke
On Saints Row we had a debug npc named Skinballs (lol) that was literally just four spheres wrapped in different shades of skin texture so we could test lighting for different skin tones during development. But teams need to plan for that kind of testing with intentionality, and not enough do.

Brush Burial: Gutter World is OUT NOW.
it's a lite immersive sim with tightly interconnected levels, a melee combat system based on positioning and counterattacks, and almost a hundred cosmetics to unlock.
you can get it on Steam, and play the demo there as well.

I do think a lot of the indie ttrpg scene as it exists is built out of a pretty specific understanding of what an RPG is based on effectively the OSR concept of what a ttrpg is, and as a result a lot of games just go by without ever being really seen by the scene at large

I know we're not living in the alpha timeline because there isn't an ongoing PBS production of Hild and Menewood that has drawn more eyes than Game of Thrones.
