Our team has been working hard on Red Rain, the story of a mother raising her daughter in a decimated yet beautiful post-apocalyptic landscape. To celebrate moms everywhere, we're excited to announce that our demo will be out Mother's Day weekend! ❤️

Just remembered there was a Harrison Ford movie where he was charged w/ homicide, the evidence being his wife saying: “—Jon this person is killing me Jon this person—“ I guess the plot hinged on whether it was more of a “this person is killing: Jon.” Or a “this person is killing me, Jon”

Hey! I'm leading programing/technical narrative teams on this. Might start showing the process in the coming weeks as we work on polish, since it's been a bit unusual. 👀 We used the @solarus-games.org engine. Also everyone working on the game is crazy cool, and you should follow them!

What is it with post-war philosophers and confidently shifting the conversation to animals? I'm sure the idea is to ground the argument in biology, but I think these people were just zoology nerds.
