The games you've made in the past have been instrumental to a conversation that has been ongoing amongst some friends:
What does it look like to move past queer dystopias and apocalyptic cyberpunk and to look beyond, ahead to worlds where we have carved out good lives for ourselves. Where the way we are and look and think and play are all meaningfully appreciated as we live our lives. It means a lot to see a drone game about being rewarded for accomplishing to the best of your ability what is often almost impossible when depressed (Cleaning, Customer Service, Fast Paced Employment). This game really really resonates with me. We get to see those who have set themselves playfully to explode modes of living hell bent on making life better for each other while playfully being ourselves.
There is love and glory in finding ways to care for each other. There is compassion in making sure that Service and Aid efforts are appreciated. It's also funny to see monopoly man ass econ bots enjoying what it means to play with numbers and be passionate about the game of finance, from afar.
These games are a part of imagining good lives that feels like a healthy appreciation of living well. I honestly think it's more than just escapism, it's exercising an atrophied sense of hope for the future that's been eroded as our collective histories have been eroded. Making/telling these stories and making these artifacts for each other to experience is sacred, to me. Thank you for making these
