I am hurt by the font and lack of paragraphs, but it's interesting to think about the massive abstractions and potential of video games. We can have a lot of agency in this. It is very difficult to make an expression in a medium with so many factors, but I think it can be very immersive. Not sure what metaphor is good, there isn't much like it. It's a kind of simulator that the artist uses to represent an interactive experience.

I just realized out you're part of the team that did Billy Blue! Very cool Australian game.

Be free, make art that is true to yourself

I'm playing the game now, and I'm going to do chores and do some exercise. I've never thought about how I use my time, so I think I'm going to be bad at this. Have no idea how time is measured.

I got 6 minutes, 39 seconds. Huh. For context, I am pretty stressed out about doing some assignments quickly, not exactly patient.

I didn't really get the metaphor, until I learnt that gamers often call games "dead". That seems quite rude.

This manifesto has good ideas, written in a functional way. I like how direct it is, and how the sections are numbered. I appreciate the clarity.

This is a very sensory and physically descriptive text, interesting how it focuses on the body and materiality

Hope you can make peace with this thing you are wrestling, artist, art and audience relationship

Haters may literally hate everything, and attack everyone, which is an awful mood for the community. Maybe it's out of fear, or arrogance? But it has has become a label to insult people for critiquing media.

Everyone cares about the media they enjoy, analysing that and conversing about our standards will only lead to a deeper understanding and more enjoyment of what it is.

Art is real and human, making an enemy of the corporations extracting value out of our society.

It seems like this isn't about genre though, it's about Sci-fi being detatched from our present life concerns

Interesting, this is why I am on Itch more lately. Big industry gaming doesn't care about people, let alone other such minorities and divergent people. Neglecting and discriminating against a huge amount of people. Indie stuff, people making true art for others who share their experience is a great thing.

Eliminate all barriers, so games and art can reach it's true potential!

I read the English version. Eliminate all boundaries within art, critique and humanity. Every action has an equal counter reaction

It's good to avoid being complacent, or tied down to past work

I like the structure, this feels easy enough.
I felt a bit cold in the morning, so I went outside to walk. I looked at the trees and noticed that how big the bark pieces were when they fell on the ground. Then, I saw some plants and some birds, which was cool. There was a couple doing exercises, one of them wore a very colorful hat which I thought was neat. Spend a bunch of minutes wandering around the park area. Came back a bit sweaty. Think I'll try this again sometime soon.

I suffered from the big paragraphs, but this bigoted political push and the evil that is done by big businesses and people in power is very relevant and important. Respect for people, humility and morality is one of the first things to protect in these oppressive times. This is just being truthful.

Beautiful expression of love. It's nice to love something this much.

Beautifully made text. So now I know a video game is not a videogame. It's useful to define what media we are using.

This is simple, but fundamental. Understand what you do and what you make. Automatically made, undesigned, unexamined games are not that worthwhile to make. 

This is real stuff, great manifesto and insight about the work pf game dev business

Love for humanity, care and defence of the people

What if I don't like to kill artists? Is this a metaphor?

Rain keeps pouring down...

This manifesto is well made with the paper clips. Make your own opinions and have integrity in your values! Don't go off the arrogant collective assumptions!

Be honest with yourself and practice your own opinions. This is how new things are made

One time when I walked, I saw a butterfly and a dead fox. I feel like this put my life into perspective. I like these creatures.

Raw and true! Reality and truth is the best and has the most depth. Acknowledging that of the world can be a more fulfilling way to live. Exposure therapy can be a way to start living honestly.

Some multiplayer games may be shallow, but this word is just used as a shallow insult. We can be more critical than this

Nice and accessible idea about meeting real students who also like games, and the way teaching can stop independence

Pertinent thoughts by all these artists. Wonder what creature I would be like? Like to think of myself as a sea snail, slow moving and protective of self, steadily eating stuff.

I don't really get it, but I like the sentiment of being on your side, and the frustration of all the cruelty in this life. Games are hard to make in this overwhelming place, but it feels good to shout out the pain

Environmental storytelling of toilets, nice. Public infrastructure is very telling for the state of society

Not hard to have some morality, boycott these genocide supporters

This is pretty nice, some events about chatting about games, anecdote about teaching young people.

Nice to read thoughts about personal experience and autism, I relate very much

Human relationships are complicated, but there is a lot of agency there. Relationships in games are often reductive by forcing romance to progress.

Ohh, I scrolled to the start of the comments and I saw several other people scrambling the original comment too. I thought this was some gibberish spam

I really like the music. These are my favourite tracks:
Dusty City and Playing with bigger knifes by Komiku
Fixing the Scarf by Fish_Lim
Ignorance is Blignorance by Sean S. LeBlanc

Great music choices, much atmosphere

Ooo, cool!
