    Girls on Games Tells Women's Tabletop Industry Stories

    How are they supporting women?? Their studio is 11 men...and 4 women (but they only show the women, of course). They are just taking some womans idea and making a simple mobile game with it. Then, the PROFITS (after they pay their entire studio) are split up....8 percent going to the...

    Bloom: Memories Returns to Kickstarter

    Yup, Unity is out (whew this might be a long answer :P) The biggest reason is because we are doing a fully 2d game and unity is more geared towards 3d.... well, that, and, we wanted to take 2d as far as we could (which meant figuring out how to handle things like really large numbers of...

    Bloom: Memories Returns to Kickstarter

    Thanks so much to Andy for covering a little indie team like us. It really meant a lot :) Just so everyone knows, the project is still pretty early stages, so everything you see so far is just the first glimpse of our new engine and some design shifts. The last 6 months have been building up...

    Kickstarter, Kids, Gender, and Transgender

    Heya, this is Dani. I tend to run across the articles or threads for the game and post on various forums about the project when I can. Between comments that I'm mentally ill, to comments bluntly stating they won't donate because I'm a "crossdresser", to one forum that said I should go do...

    Any indie gamers? Bloom?

    Thanks so much :) Remember though, money isn't the only way people can help. If you really like what we are doing, helping to spread the word would be huge to us. Sending tips to game websites, or your favorite youtubers, or on facebook and forums. That type of help can actually be worth way...

    Any indie gamers? Bloom?

    Thanks for the tip :) I'll go hunt those two down on youtube. This is probably going to end up as a book in response... haha sorry :P I wish we had more staff haha. Right now it is just me running all the campaign and sending out press releases and writing scripts and doing the videos :)...

    Any indie gamers? Bloom?

    Well, a lot has happened sense the last post. Things are up and running, and just did a new update on the game play / combat and a video on some of the technology behind the game (nothing overly complicated, for those without 3d / game experience). Can't post links to the actual campaign...

    Any indie gamers? Bloom?

    Poll: Do you contribute to Crowd Funding (like Kickstarter) Games?

    Indie games are great. But, there is the reality of needing resources to make it. Even for existing indie games, lots of corners are cut and production is sacrificed because they are trying to do things with tiny tiny budgets (or doing it in their free-time outside of work). Saving up enough...

    Poll: For the girls of the escapist (or gay guys)

    Woaaa, fem guys are most popular with gay guys?? :D ~brushes hair~ Yea, I'm going to have to guess anime and japanese fem guys in games have had a lot to do with that ~_~

    Can you defend yourself?

    Does crying and / or running until they give up count? :D The best way to win a fight...is to avoid it ~_~

    What is/isn't a vampire to you?

    Ooo this :3 But also, I love all the different takes on vampires. I think if every vampire was exactly the same in every movie that it would get old REALLY fast.

    Do some gamers want to exclude others from gaming?

    It is an issue of resources... people are afraid that the rise of other gaming (such as casual gaming) will shift larger companies to produce for that segment (instead of for their own segment of gaming). You saw this happen when consoles grew more and PC game titles started to drop a lot...

    What happens when a non-gamer judges for game award?

    When I want to know what games are good...I ask my mom too :D :D "Oh dear! You shoot little birds at these pigs! And things fall down! This is the best game ever :D".
