In response to the unprecedented number of game developers laid off this year, we have created a bundle on itch to benefit a Game Industry Hardship Fund, managed by @videogameworkers.bsky.social. More than 100 games for 10+ bucks! Please share widely and donate generously! itch.io/b/3802/game-...

proud to include Dyebreaker in this bundle. seen so many talented peers lose their jobs and what strikes me is how often these people are the BEST at what they do, which draws them onto important new projects that need their skill, which are then vulnerable to cuts or cancellation. it's so backwards
