Downstream's given me many opportunities to see this game evolve over the years. I've even helped the team w/ small scale coding. There's a HUGE amount of work and passion being poured into Masque 👀 Check out their site, sign up for their mailing list, and keep an ear out for when it drops. 💜

A poster announcing Masque: A Trickster Tale, in development from Downstream Games. It features the protagonists, in a colorful, cartoony style looking nervous and sweating.

Aw geez, looks like we're the Fools today...We were going to make a post about the game, but we haven't even announced it yet! Follow us to learn more, though, because we're hard at work for the announcement this Summer!

Yellow, handwritten text reads, "FOLLOW FOR MORE INFO!!". Below that is the Bluesky logo and the handle @downstreamgames.com. The characters are a yellow mask and a young child. The mask looks away to the left with an embarrassed expression. The child is making a pose where their hands are flat on the front, top corners of their head. Their eyebrows are raised up in the center, eyes are closed, and their tongue is hanging out of the side of their mouth.

We went to play the PS1 version of RPG Maker but our copy was so scratched it stopped working after loading the main menu once I burned a backup, used tonyhax, and was able to load the main menu consistently but not the demo game. (...)

Tiger and I have been working on reviving our retro gaming setup recently. Today, I plugged in one of my OG Xboxes and got a fun little jumpscare when it decided to rapidly turn on and off without pressing power. So here's your reminder to replace the capacitors in your old consoles!

I do not need to watch explicit video evidence of ICE detaining or executing people in the streets to confirm that they are in the wrong, because I accept no narrative justification for the state sanctioned disappearance, torture, or murder of civilians.

These kinds of warning screens are not enough. They DO NOT absolve you of the responsibility you have. You still have to put in the work of making your game accessible as much as possible. Sometimes, these warning screens go by too fast to even be read anyhow. (Arknights looking at you.)

WARNING: READ BEFORE PLAYING.

A very small percentage of individuals may experience epileptic seizures when exposed to certain light patterns or flashing lights. Exposure to certain patterns or backgrounds on screen or while playing video games may induce an epileptic seizure in these individuals. Certain conditions may induce previously undetected epileptic symptoms even in persons who have no history of prior seizures or epilepsy. If you, or anyone in your family, have an epileptic condition, consult your physician prior to playing. If you experience any of the following symptoms while playing a video game - dizziness, altered vision, eye or muscle twitches, loss of awareness, disorientation, any involuntary movement, or convulsions - IMMEDIATELY discontinue use and consult your physician before resuming play.

When exposed to certain visual stimuli or flashing lights, a very small percentage of people (including those with epilepsy and some undiagnosed individuals) may experience seizures, with symptoms such as dizziness, facial discoloration, eye or face twitching, foaming at the mouth, confusion or loss of consciousness, or uncontrollable muscle spasms. If you, your family, or other household members experience similar symptoms, please consult a doctor before playing the game. If you experience any of the above symptoms while playing, immediately stop playing, seek medical attention as soon as possible, and follow your doctor's advice.Persona 3 Reload. The text reads as follows: 

The game will feature flashing screens and bright effects.

In very rare cases, some people may experience temporary muscle cramps, loss of consciousness, or other symptoms from watching strong light stimuli, flashing lights, or the TV screen. 

If you have experienced any of these symptoms in the past, please be sure to consult your doctor before playing this game. Also, if you experience any of these symptoms while playing, stop playing immediately and seek medical attention.

Around 1.2% of the world's population has epilepsy. Around 10-15% of the population experiences migraines. Photosensory issues are common. Putting up a basic warning at the start of your game simply isn't enough. You need to take accessibility seriously as a publisher and developer.
