Seeing your devlog (and the realization you made that video I saw on Bluesky) on making this game inspired me to try this! Fun game :D

And I know you! Hi! :D
Some things that inspired to focus on the historical side of fighting against capitalism: my interest in historical facts was a starting point, and also how in recent years as I've grown older, I've started to understand better the importance of logistics in any resistance movement. Going out to fight and leading and giving big speeches are important things yeah, but we shouldn't ignore the 'unglamorous' side of things like making sure people have enough to eat and can still go to work or doing fundraising, and other details that keeps things running! The other thing that gave me the idea was how a lot history books don't bother mention people like Jo Ann Robinson or Georgia Gilmore! I learned about Lewis Hine only like few months ago actually, it's crazy. I think those were the main things that inspired this zine, a lot of our struggles do intersect with each others, especially in the capitalist hellscape we are currently in!
Thanks for the kind comment!
Hey! Sorry I'm only replying now, I've been busy. Anyway, thanks for the feedback, I can see why you would say some information is dumped a bit suddenly. I probably would have woven in details a bit more naturally to this story if I didn't impose some other projects on my shoulders ahaha. I might come back to this story to expand it a bit more so I'll keep your tips in mind!
Thanks for the lovely amount of feedback! This story was largely inspired by the American road trip me and my sister took almost a decade ago. I'm glad my intent of a chill, cozy trip between friends came across, and you enjoyed the characters :)
I do get what you're saying about how densely packed it feels. And I hadn't realized at first that some sentences feel over-nested. I WAS wondering whether or not I should add more to the story, like couple more locations, but I decided to go ahead anyway since there's some other stuff I kinda got going on atm and I didn't want worry about juggling TOO many projects. Doesn't mean I won't go back into this story! I do like the idea of expanding on this story a bit more, so there's plenty of opportunities to work on those details.
Thank you once again for your feedback! :D
