Penguin Colony is now a "Very Positive" on Steam (9/10) thanks so much for everyone who understood it and left a review. We think that it will age like Alien Isolation. store.steampowered.com/app/3695930/...

Si ya Penguin Colony es toda una experiencia, poder hablar y descubrir lo que hay detrás del juego y la compañía @origamedigital.bsky.social ha sido aún más enriquecedor y gratificante. Thank you @veselekov.bsky.social for your time!

Hey, you all should play Penguin Colony. Not just because it's a game where you play as Penguins in Antarctica, or that the hype being pretty well founded, or it's neck-deep in interrogating Lovecraft and it has Nazis go completely mad, although absolutely all those things.

Replying to @jeremybjayne.bsky.social
its capacity to speak truth to power stands in stark contrast to so much of games writing which feels powerless to speak meaningfully against the status quo. it reminds me of an old mckenna quote: “The artist’s task is to save the soul of mankind; and anything less is a dithering while Rome burns.”

I am kicking myself now that I should have been more explicit about the expedition results. Probably should have called them "Blakely's Expedition Results"
Even the games name "Penguin Colony" is to play into this idea. A Colony? They are Indigenous. Almost every penguin in the game has a colonial name -- "King" "Emperor" "Magellan" "Gentoo" "Adelie" After the game we are shown all of this information as our expedition results.

Having players begin to question the ever present colonial language in games was intentional. Even the game mechanic of "collecting" and "discovering" was something I wanted to challenge. You are shown what you found It is up to you to question the validity of. What you find has Nazi appraisal

Who else is going to put "Penguin Colony" on their Hugo Awards ballot for Best Game next year? Anti-colonial take on The Mountains of Madness that's basically Penguins vs. Nazi Cthulhu. It does seem like a lot of people I know would be into this.

A player found something very very very hidden
Penguin Colony 邸宅に入れた… 最後の浜辺にゲートのようなものがあって邸宅の前へ通じていた。 中には数体の影、たばこを吸う男、わんちゃん。 夜の地球儀、絵画には古のもの。 最後にペンギンは男の横に座っておわる。 絵画はジョン・ガストの「American Progress 」の女神が異形の者にかわったもの。 ヨーロッパ人が東から文明化して行き、徐々に明るい世界になる。 そして暗い西に逃げるパイソンや先住民が描かれてる。 追い立てられ植民地化されていった。 果たしてこの男は何者なのか? 徽章が微妙に見えるけど良く分からない。 そもそも人間なのかどうかもわからない。

It should be abundantly clear by now that. If you work in AAA and you don’t unionise you will lose your job while the CEO gets a 38M bonus.
As much as it's not really a surprise, especially given the industry right now coupled with the Saudi sale, the news today still made me sad. BioWare joins other great studios of the past, with a legacy that will not soon be forgotten. 😔 www.forbes.com/sites/paulta...

I wanna move from having a google account because without warning I was “upgraded” to a Google AI subscription (i was just buying cloud storage)
I deleted my linkedin/artstation/epic accounts not sure what the future of gamedev is gonna be like but i'll just clear up my mind by assuming that it's not good and move on towards building cool stuff on my own. my ass never wants to talk about ai on slack anymore lol
