The “brave” Assad ran away to Putin. Where will Putin run away? This year's Human Rights Day is marked by heartbreaking images of Syrian prisons and torture chambers, which were opened after Assad ran away. People have been humiliated there for many years. Men and women. They were beaten, tortured, raped. Thousands upon thousands of people have passed through this violence factory. For decades, the Assad regime has relied solely on violence. And this is what all Putin-backed regimes look like. We have seen these types of prisons, torture chambers, unspeakable violence, humiliation, beating, torture, rape, and other crimes on our territory in every location occupied by Russian invaders. Russia is a prison state and it can only keep hold of someone else’s stolen land by putting its prisons and torture chambers there. Since the beginning of the Russian occupation, tanks have been followed by repression and torture. We first saw it on our land in Crimea in 2014, when Russian occupation resulted in repression of the indigenous people, Ukraine's largest Muslim community, the Crimean Tatars, as well as journalists and political figures. Then Russia continued its horrific human rights violations in the occupied Donbas, including the notorious Izolyatsia prison. Since February 2022, Russia has expanded these practices to the rest of the occupied territories. Atrocities have increased in scope and brutality. This is why we, as Ukrainians, feel so moved when we see Syrians walking out of Assad's prisons and torture chambers. Assad and Putin are more than just vassal and lord. They are accomplices in violence. Dictators like Assad cannot survive without dictators like Putin. And Putin will try to get a revenge for Assad’s fall. This is why we need unity and strength to confront regimes that only sow humiliation and leave nothing but suffering, pain, and ruins in their wake. By assisting Ukraine in its fight against Putin's dictatorship, the international community is assisting many other regions in restoring security and protection from violence. There must be justice for the horrific atrocities and human rights violations. In fact, Putin and Assad are the ones who deserve to be imprisoned, not the innocent people they have been imprisoning for years.

I kid you not, @itchio has been taken down by @OriginalFunko because they use some trash "AI Powered" Brand Protection Software called @BrandShieldltd that created some bogus Phishing report to our registrar, @iwantmyname, who ignored our response and just disabled the domain
It's been a while, but now I felt like I got to a good point to make a devlog!
A new develog is out! It's about getting feedback and improving on it, with a bonus announcement at the end! (Link in the reply)

I just needs a bit more polish and it's going to be done, I promise! 😅
A lot of time this week has been spent on improving how the boss fight feels as before it was a bit on a repetitive side!

I had quite a bit of difficulties trying toget people to expect the moving axe hazards. Sadly, sometimes what seems to be a cool idea isn't that clear and sometimes it has to be scrapped!

It didn't feel right to have 3 seal rooms to complete and only 2 puzzles for the game to choose from, so I had to add at least one more... For now...
Protect the totem until it regenerates it's health! I've added a new puzzle room for the player to clear before challenging the boss!

Every second I spend waiting for VS Code to give me a suggestion, I also spend on thinking about just buying Rider

After all the feedback I gathered from the game event I showed last week, I decided to add a tutorial level to give player a better idea what the game is about! #gaming

RIGGED ELECTIONS IN GEORGIA 🇬🇪 I've spent the last 48 hours proving fraud in the Georgian elections. Let me show you the evidence in 2 charts. Chart 1: Russian tail...

Because this keeps on giving as it develops and karma doesn't seem to be quite done here yet, I'll just have to share this one update to the previous post. A substantial amount of the pro-Russian "activists" that were doing the "field work" of convincing people to sell their votes (because the whole thing essentially worked as an MLM), are now starting to find out that their personal details have been used by their Russian handlers to contract large loans from a variety of Russian banks. There's a fair bit of panic currently setting in amongst them and an increasing number have began to call the police to report the fraudulent loans and turn themselves in (in hopes of getting rid of said loans).
In what I believe might be one of the most satisfying pieces of news you'll be reading today, the Moldovan authorities (I'm guessing with some outside help) managed to get substantial information on the Promsviazbank - one of the banks used by the Russians to mass purchase votes in order to influence the Moldovan elections. To get a sense of the scale of what Russians attempted to do here, the amount of votes purchased (at least through this bank) amounts to 138k, meaning roughly 9% of the total votes cast in this election. The total suspected number goes as high as 300k votes, when accounting for all the other banks and means used by the Russians. Because getting a wire transfer right now from a sanction Russian might just be the worse way to go about doing this, the Moldovan authorities were apparently able to identify all the 138k people that have sold their votes. The first 400 of the bunch have already been fined with about $1500 each, roughly 10 times the sum of money they sold their vote for. The "recruiters" and "heads" of this operation have also been identified and are looking at ample "me time" to reconsider their choices in all the comfort a Moldovan prison can pamper you in.
The event was super fun and I managed to meet some very cool people! And I filled out almost 5 notebook pages worth of feedback and observations 😅
Finally got to post it! Last week there was a regional game event and I participated as a local indie game developer! Spent this week improving and fixing the game on all the feedback that I got!

Damn, Remedy can't keep getting away with all these cliffhangers 😭😭😭. Just finished Quantum Break
Thought I might as well share this as well!

Doing some late night changes for tomorrows second day of expo. Hopefully code goblins don't mess up my build 🙏🙏🙏
Currently in a game event presenting a vertical slice of my game! And there was a person who was exactly the audience I was aiming at and played the game for like an hour and a half straight. Honestly, it made me super happy!!!

Every game should have a pause game function. What do you mean I can't pause the game to go pet my dog when he's having a bad dream

I was looking forward to playing some Deaths Gambit this weekend, but after finding out that to get the true ending I'd need to repeat every boss fight but on a more difficult level it kinda took the wind out of my sails 🫠🫠🫠
Not a lot of flashy updates, but still quite important ones!
Recently Ive added some small, but very nice things, like a new puzzle, throwable consumables, masteries system and after some player feedback I've added a stamina system instead of cooldowns! What do you think?
