LOVE SHORE IS OUT NOW. 💜

The game that I’ve worked on for 4 years is out today, and it feels surreal. Perfect Garbage grew up as a self-funded, internally driven studio headed by two QPoC writers because of this game, and I became a Narrative Designer because of it. We put a lot of heart into Love Shore, and we hope you feel that in every moment.

Here’s the link.

I have a lot of respect and admiration for KO_OP. You know the saying "be the change you want in the world"? They are that saying applied to making videogames. We need more indie cooperatives like them.

You know how people say "We have insert company brand here at home." and then it's a shittier version of it? The thing is it doesn't have to be shitty, the thing sell is already shit, it's just shit that we accepted as normal.

I think we should also shame them by showing them we CAN in fact have it better at home. And often cheaper.

Like come on, animation, comics, music, books, movies, video games, tabletop games, you all know we can make better then big companies give us. The local artists, indie authors, small movie studios, musicians, actors, they can make it so much better these days. There are so many resources online, ways to connect, ways to fund indie projects, studios and business.

Why can't indie stuff be the new normal? Maybe not now, but I really hope it can be in the future. We all know that it takes longer, it's a bigger risk but I would rather take that risk then consume the copy-pasted content that companies are forcing their workers to make. Entertainment companies used to take risks with new ideas, now it's so hard to find and even when they do so they either meddle in it so much that it becomes a watered down version of itself or they cancel it one-two seasons in, or before it's even released because it doesn't meet some made up sky-high standard that exists only in their heads.

Indie animation alone has come such a long way. There are so many talented artists, animators, writers, directors, VA's that work on those and there should be more. I've been in the indie author scene for just a few months and it's been some of the most welcoming jobs I've ever had. Those YouTube singers that make awesome covers? They all deserve more praise, big or small channels. All these artists on here, on twitter, on instagram that have shops? That's some good, quality merch. Indie VTubers? If you've been in the VTubing scene in the last few months I don't have to tell you why indie is better.

It's higher risk these days sure, but you have to admit that it's so much better, full of life, full of passion and care for what's being made. That's what we need more of.

can u please keep ads for ur game with a single theyfab character out of the trans tags

This is a great question, and something we don't engage in without thought. On top of LongStory having an enby character, with the possibility of the player character being trans or non-binary depending on how players want to explore the story, we also have a couple of trans and gender diverse characters in Later Daters, as well as a handful of non-binary and gender diverse staff, both former and present. There's a ton of writing about why games are an incredible way for people to explore their gender identity in a safe and self-contained environment, that's something we want our games to offer to players.

The communities we want to connect with are very much communities we are a part of and a lot of us share lived experiences with, in this case either as trans folks or people who love and support them. Our mandate as a game studio is to "explore transformative change by creating playful experiences focused on compassion, curiosity and conversation," (I took that right from the website) and we strongly believe that kind of change is an action, something that we do our best to engage in every day.

As a studio and as individuals we're human, we're not always perfect, but we're always going to do our best to engage with our communities. We don't believe in self-censorship or gatekeeping for ourselves or anyone who's part of the queer and trans community as long as there's mutual love, respect, and the ability to admit when we don’t get it right. That’s what we’re trying to bring to the table, at least!
