queer leftist gamedev from the uk. i worked on Lookouts, and, hopefully, some new things soon

[marbleclaws]

Howdy, we're Marble Claws

We're a small team of queer creators making videogames. We made Lookouts, and are slowly working on new stuff.

This blog is for us to post updates and announcements about Lookouts, and other projects when we have something to share, as well as to show off all the amazing fanart people have made of our silly little videogame. You can see what we've reblogged all in one place in our fanart tag.

We also have asks open, so if you want to ask us any questions about Lookouts or its characters, please feel free. We love to hear from people about the game!

We might post something funny every so often too. Maybe. No promises. You'll be the judge I guess.

Hope to see you around, pardner.

[paranoidhawk]

Making this my pinned post, here's the blog for the game dev team I'm part of!

If you wanted to send asks about Lookouts, please do it over there! The team account gets looked at much more often.

It's with a heavy but hopeful heart that I watch Palestinian families fundraiser on here, slowly accumulating the precious little money to go around that they need to survive. However, not everyone is so lucky. A lot of Palestinians that have not had that kind of luck, that did not get early verification, that did not get massive platforms behind them from large bloggers, have approached me in my inbox, asking me kindly to do what I can for them. It kills me that I have so little to give myself, but I've seen this platform collectively raise enough to change someone's life. I've made a list of Palestinian fundraisers that are extremely low on funds, in the hope that drawing attention to people who have not been lucky at all can help turn that luck around. I know most of us can't possibly give enough to get all of these families safe in one go. But please, reblog this list. Pick one or two fundraisers, give what you can, and then keep track of it. Slowly, collectively, we can make a difference in these people's lives. Share and donate as much as you can. https://docs.google.com/document/d/178EGDFKkHlh3y4TMVX82kqgITHsqtoMdNccI2f_94Os/edit?usp=sharing

Donate to Help Nour and his family escape from the war in Gaza, organized by Andrea Soto

Hello, my name is Andrea Soto and I reside in Bethlehem, PA. I am org… Andrea Soto needs your support for Help Nour and his family escape fr

Hi all, it's Andrea. I would like to thank everyone who has supported Nour's campaign so far, your contributions mean a lot, and its thanks to you all that Nour has been able to vaccinate and provide for his children.

These are two images that Nour has sent me recently of clothes and toys that he was able to buy for his daughter and son.

With winter coming up, Nour and his family will need to purchase even more clothes and proper outwear.

Please continue to support him and his campaign by donating and sharing with your friends.

You can find Nour's blog at @noor120abd. His original blog was noorabd1992, and staff not only terminated his blog, but they also wiped all of his posts, which includes @90-ghost's reblog. Luckily 80-ghost's reblog can still be seen by pasting the link into the wayback machine.

A small donation can make a big difference 🙏🍉🇵🇸 I am Noureddine from Gaza, I am 32 years old, and I stand before you as a person trying to

Hello, my name is Andrea Soto and I reside in Bethlehem, PA. I am org… Andrea Soto needs your support for Help Nour and his family escape fr

I am Noureddine from Gaza, I am 32 years old, and I stand before you as a person trying to achieve healing.

I am married and the father of two children. My wife gave birth to my second son, 4 months old, in the war

He was born during the war and in very harsh conditions that no human being can bear. Our family moved from the hospital directly to the tent, and I cannot describe the extent of the suffering and difficulty of living in the tent

‎We have been forced to go to Al-Hawl more than 7 times, and the burden has been completely lifted, and there is not enough cheese, medicine, and vitamins for my children. Now he specializes in the livestock in Khan Yunis, south of the Gaza Strip, in the tent. Life is very difficult in the tent, there are harmful insects.

It is difficult for me to find the words to describe what we face every day in Gaza. No food, no medicine, no clean drinking water, oppression, helplessness, psychological pressures, doubts, and daily trauma due to the loss of loved ones. In Gaza, it's not just hunger and fear; Rather, it means actual death.

During the ten months, I have no source of income at all.

Every day I struggle to bring in food for my children

Attention this is my new account 💔

[heritageposts]

🇵🇸 From BDS:

More than 300 Palestinian sports teams are calling to ban Israel from the Olympics over its genocide against Palestinians in Gaza. [...] In Gaza, Israel has killed Palestinian Olympic Football coach Hani Al Masdar, destroyed the Palestinian Olympic Committee offices, and turned sports facilities into shameful mass detention and torture centers. We can’t sit back as the IOC allows Israel to use the Olympics to sportswash its genocide in Gaza and its apartheid regime against Palestinians everywhere. Support the call from Palestinian teams. Join the campaign to #BanIsrael from the Olympics and peacefully disrupt the road to the Paris 2024 games. 

Global days of action planned for March 15-17:

Ahead of the IOC executive board meeting in Lausanne Switzerland (March 19-21), take the call from Palestinian teams to your National Olympic Committee, International Sports Federations and Recognized Sports Federations. Organize protests, sit-ins, peaceful disruptions, or awareness raising events on Israeli attacks on Palestinian sports.

For more concrete information on how you can participate in the campaign, see the link above. You should also check in with your local BDS-affiliated organization(s) to see if they have anything planned for these dates (if they don't, consider bringing it up to them)

If you're not familiar with any BDS-affiliated organizations in your country (or state/city), then take a look at BDS's "Join a Campaign'"page.

There's also a petition you can sign.

FUCK YEAH

[elizabro]

aaron bushnell knew exactly what he was doing. he states his intentions with total lucidity and sense of purpose. he knows what he's about to do is extreme--he says so. he speaks calmly, but he's clearly terrified. he takes a deep breath after pouring the accelerant over himself. he has to psyche himself up to light the flame. he struggles with the lighter. he says "free palestine" normally once before he starts to scream it. even through his agony he manages to say it one last time before he stops being able to speak at all. this is a man with total conviction. he wanted to help people, in any way possible. this action was a moral one, and any news outlet painting this as simply a mental health issue is a disservice to his memory. he knew what he was doing when he burned himself in uniform. he knew that there was a chance that sacrificing his own life could go on to save many others. this was the ultimate act of selflessness, and it should be treated as such. may he rest in peace.

i cannot begin to explain the emotions i feel every day knowing that this post i made in the middle of playing tf2 when i was 16 is going to be the one thing of mine that has made the largest impact on the world by a fucking mile

[teaboot]

I was debating pre- and post- smartphone existentialism with an older gentleman today and he stopped part way through and said “Why are you a security guard? Why aren’t you teaching this at some college somewhere?” And I didn’t know what to say so I went with “Well I used to make art but nobody pays an artist”

[teaboot]

I want to invoke thought and wonder and introspection and encourage the passions of every soul I meet forever and ever and dig until I find the glorious potential for creation and experience and joy in every single one but unfortunately I must pay rent and so I stand, a meat shield, an NPC with unlockable dialogue

Hey, do you want to play a visual novel about gay trans cowboys falling in love?

If that sounds like your thing then we humbly recommend Lookouts!It's a romance/drama visual novel set in the Old West. Two lookouts scouting for gold meet in the desert, and end up in the fight for their lives, and each other.

The game is completely free to play and is just by two silly queers who wanted to see more stories like this out in the world. It would mean the world to us if you gave it a look!

people are calling what happened today in gaza “the flour massacre”

the flour massacre

these people just wanted to get food for their families, something as basic as flour, one of the things that the very core of humanity is built on, and israel used it as a trap to murder them in cold blood

evil is not enough of a word. there is not a word to describe what they are doing to palestine. they are bleeding her out, they are torturing her and crushing her and hoping that nothing is left to remember her by when they are done. how can anyone stand and watch what is being done with indifference? how can you watch this level of human suffering, this crime against life and feel nothing, do nothing

[paranoidhawk]

i usually have it muted because i end up hearing the same 5 seconds over and over while i test stuff. but occasionally i'll have reason to hear lookouts' music again while i'm working and i'll just go oh. yeah, right, this soundtrack bangs, damn. and i'll just stop what i'm doing to listen to it again. everybody say thank you jamie @fakegamercomics

[dreamyfreakout]

it’s bandcamp friday! here’s a new EP of some country/cowboy songs i recorded for a queer western visual novel called Lookouts in 2021!!

[tamarrud]

Seeing footage of the aftermath of the flour massacre in Gaza is so painful

"Where is my daughter? Tell her I don't want flour anymore"

"My brother was shot holding a bag of flour. He kept holding on to it so they kept shooting him"

"Why does flour have to be stained with blood?"

Over 100 have been killed. Every single one of them hungry. Every single one of them has someone waiting for them to come back with the bag of flour.

Israel is using starvation as a weapon of war against innocent civilians. Israel ambushes starving Palestinians and shoots them. Israel is not fighting a war to defend itself. This is another episode of Israel's ongoing genocide in Gaza.
