After the release of Battlestar Galactica: Scattered Hopes, a couple of months ago, 3D artist @skaz.bsky.social printed some Mk2 Vipers (X-Wing miniature game scale) from the video game, and painted them as gifts for the team. 🤩 "I got bored with red after 3, so I got creative with the scheme😅"

This is one of six Callisto-class replicas—the first Gunstar you control in the game—made by Skaz, the 3D artist. I’m just as touched by the letter that came with it, which I’m keeping to myself. It’s a rare gesture of appreciation, and one I really needed right now. 🖖 I love this game:

[Review] Battlestar Galactica: Scattered Hopes is available on Steam and GOG! @altshiftgames.bsky.social "Take command of a fleet relentlessly chased by the Cylon Fleet in their attempt to rejoin Humanity’s last hope: the Battlestar Galactica." 15 hours into this game, here's my opinion!

Let's follow through with another classic: the more modern Viper Mk7, unlucky first responder to the Cylon attack. They should have disabled auto firmware updates!

Now that the game is out, I can show the assets I made for Battlestar Galactica: Scattered Hopes. Meet the Viper Mk2, the brawler. Brutal at short range!

EU citizens: stop killing games needs your signature! i didn't think i could sign this since I'm not a resident, but turns out if you have citizenship you can even if you're not a current resident!! it's a long shot but i still hope we can get some answers to this www.stopkillinggames.com/eci

European Citizens' Initiative

Videogames are being destroyed! Most video games work indefinitely, but a growing number are designed to stop working as soon as publishers end support. This effectively robs customers, destroys games as an artform, and is unnecessary. Our movement seeks to pass new law in the EU to put an end to this practice. Our proposal would do the following:

    Require video games sold to remain in a working state when support ends.
    Require no connections to the publisher after support ends.
    Not interfere with any business practices while a game is still being supported.

If you are an EU citizen, please sign the Citizens' Initiative!
