I loved this, although the mouse sensitivity was very low... I can't figure out if that was a problem with my computer
Hey, I'm really glad you liked it! Sorry about the mouse sensitivity issue - I think it is something hardware specific, because I could never get it to happen on my old computer (and so I couldn't track down the cause)... But I just checked and it is happening on my new computer, so I'll try to track it down and fix it as soon as possible!
Thanks a lot for answering!
I've been browsing your games for a bit and I'm liking every single one (especially A Bewitching Revolution)
Thanks! That's really great to hear :)
Thanks for this - I'm really glad you got so much out of the game! And I like your point about radical left politics mirroring this kind of deeper critique. If all this violence is ongoing / foundational for capitalism, then that means what we need is a radical break from capitalism...
Oh, and if you want to look into the stuff on environmental degradation, I really like Anna Tsing's description of how plantations embodied a particular type of alienation from nature (it's in Chapter 3 of 'The Mushroom at the End of the World').
Fascinating and inspirational.
It reminded me of Open Veins of Latin America's epigraph: “We have maintained a silence closely resembling stupidity” (revolutionary proclamation of the Junta Tuitiva - La Paz, 1809).
Admirable work, congratulations!
Nice!
