  1. The Left’s Shameful Hypocrisy in the Government Shutdown: Anti-Worker Politics Disguised as Progressivism

    The current government shutdown has exposed something deeply disturbing about the state of so-called progressivism in America. As the federal government teeters on the brink of chaos, there are voices, voices that claim to be on the left, calling for the shutdown to continue. They present it as some kind of moral or political strategy, a way to "punish" the administration or make a political statement. But what they fail—or refuse—to acknowledge is the human cost of this so-called […]

  7. Gaming and creating games is inherently political to us. The act of storytelling holds significant societal impact and the perspective from which stories are told matters. 👾
    You'll find out more about our political approach on game development on this account in the future 🦥

  8. So many awesome folks made this game come to life! I sincerely think we've got an awesome game.

    However, the last several days has been A Lot of major game industry announcements and news! Comparatively, Solace State takes time to sit down with and reflect on. And we think we haven't found our audience yet.

    This is where want to ask you to support us if you're excited about our message about a radical journey of optimistic advocacy. If you like the game, please review it! If you don't have money to buy the game, we welcome you to share in our excitement!

    If you know streamers who're excited by magical realism meets intersectional hackivism or journalists who cover politics and art, we'd love to get connected! Please share this widely with your friends who're into this too! We want to share the joy of this game with more folks!

  9. I went against convention on a lot. This includes a deconstructivist take on cyberpunk: Not just cause it's cool, but that marginalized folks striving for change is at the core of "punk". The architectural density is not about fear of the unknown but is just how people live: Sometimes hurting others, sometimes uplifting others and healing unevenly.

    There are so few games - so few entertainment media - that dare portray an East Asian woman as a frontline activist in a sustained movement. This was a deliberate choice, with overtly Asian & AAPI traumas. We're not your model minority. We're not your cyberpunk doll.

    Solace State went against visual novel convention, too. I experimented so much! What I landed on is a visual novel powered by movements that feels like camera drones... which are used IRL by both the establishment & by protesters. So this is a protest game through and through.

  10. Solace State is now available on Steam & Xbox!

    Unite the people and ignite the revolution.

    In this 3D visual novel, play as Chloe, a young hacker turned activist in a coming-of-age tale set in a near-future, cyberpunk world. Hundreds of choices are in your hands to fight for your friends and neighbors during a biotech conspiracy.

    The Pixel Post calls it "optimistic hackivism" in their full review of the game.
