Hill Agency: PURITYdecay on Steam

Murdered sisters, mind altering drugs and flying cities, to a case that goes way further than the banks of this one detective's little neighbourhood in this Indigenous cybernoir detective narrative...

We've been lucky to connect with so many great people and groups, but we don't see a future here and would like to focus on growing new spaces that are safer for everyone. We know there's no perfect alternative but no point sitting in a burning house. kinanâskomitin y'all!

In 2020 I wrote an essay for vol 2 of @APWOTmag & examined colonialism in game design & storytelling. For the essay I spoke to the brilliant & inspiring Meagan Byrne, who was making Hill Agency. Hill Agency, an Indigenous cybernoir, is out now & I can't wait to play it 🎉

The thing about living in a capitalist society is folks who know how to commodify the work of others start to have a value. The problem ends up being that those folks WAY overvalue their contribution and have made themselves gatekeepers to what has worth. That’s not their skill.

Charlie Kaufman says studio executives and CEOs “know that their money comes from other people not getting money.” “It’s disgusting, because they don’t do anything. No, they do damage is what they do. They do damage to the art form. And by doing that, they do damage to humanity. And if everything is about the bottom line for them and saving money, then there’s nothing left to the art form.” (variety.com/2023/film/global…)
