Amazing turnout! I love the support everyone has been giving to game workers and this union.

A statement from our union president on the amazing turnout of support for the Game Industry Hardship Fund itch.io bundle 🙏 👇 The bundle is live for 10 more days to support devs in need, but a long-term difference can be made by joining UVW-CWA directly. ✊ uvw-cwa.org itch.io/b/3802/game-...

A message from United Videogame Workers, a Code-CWA Union, part 1: A statement from Aurelia Augusta - President, UVW-CWA Local 9433:
 
The response to the Hardship Fund has been so awe-inspiring and so great that it's honestly made it difficult to write a statement because every time I look away, the total amount raised by the itch bundle leaps forward yet again and I find a few more tears of joy on my face.

What is not told in this headline is that this budget also includes funding for flock safety cameras and lack of funding for richmond virtual academy, among other things. I'm extremely disappointed that the city did not take action on our concerns, no matter how many times they said they "hear us".

The Richmond budget includes funding for affordable housing, public safety, improved infrastructure, and record school funding at $257 million, about $8 million more than the previous budget.

I also made a whole adaptive music system to go alongside this remix! It's meant to replicate the adaptive system that's present in the modern green hill and sky sanctuary stages Full process and behind the scenes are on my channel :)

I feel that Artists needs to stop apologizing for not being productive. To me it gives off that you have to constantly force creativity which is how so many Artists end up burning themselves out. It also gives reasons for newer Artists to think they aren't allow breaks naturally. It's unhealthy.

First week done at Clever Ghoul Studio! I so wish I could tell you all about the exciting things happening, but they are happening! I'm so incredibly fortunate to have found this incredible studio!

It's a really great game! I played about an hour of it and I had to tell myself to put it down instead of "just one more round" Gameplay is solid, but the atmosphere is impeccable. Love the FMV as well. I highly recommend Forbidden Solitaire based on my first impressions!

Those of you who know me will know that this launch is a BIG DEAL for me/us because I've been indie for 21 years and never had a hit game but have managed to survive. However, this is our best shot at a hit game so far and we hope that it goes well.
