itchio bundle to help laid off game workers is obviously an honourable endeavour, but i do find interesting the interplay between AAA/"industry" actors and a platform considered unserious or even worthless by "industry" where the affordances of the latter is ultimately beneficial to the former

There are nine(9) sleeps until Big Walk comes out on August 4. aksfx are releasing new Big Walk music every day until launch. Each release is a radio station that you can listen to in the game. The first one, Lobby, is out now. youtu.be/mWFpjyAX_D8

eenk, my interactive fiction firmware for Xteink e-reader, is making progress🙂 I've added custom font support (at device level and story level). The IDE is shaping up. I'm working on documentation, update process, polish. It's getting there! Does anyone have a cool ink story it could ship with?

my uninformed analysis based on nothing at all is that za/um leadership was always going to lay off people regardless of zero parades' commercial performance. i feel bad for the folks who worked on it, it's a good game!
