Episode #21 - Abomination Tower, The Quiet Sleep, Nonsense at Nightfall w/ Birdwards

OK NOW! Our guest this week is Birdwards (@_Birdwards) A game developer (birdwards.itch.io) and twitch streamer (twitch.tv/birdwards) who made the bundle game “Temple Scramble” we played back in Episode 7! You can usually see him streaming game design and his thoughts on other jam games Sundays (check his twitch page for timing).

This weeks cause is JusticeLA - justicelanow.org

JusticeLA prioritizes an intersectional approach to movement building that uplifts the communities most impacted by incarceration in Los Angeles County, including: immigrant and undocumented people; Black, Brown and indigenous peoples; people with mental health and substance use needs; young people, women and LGBTQ people. Building on nearly a decade of advocacy, they are calling for a robust decarceration plan for Los Angeles that fully realizes the promise of diversion and re-entry through a justice reinvestment strategy.

About the podcast.....

Welcome to bundle buddies, we are playing through the ENTIRE itch.io Bundle for Racial Justice and Equality.

What is the itch.io Bundle for Racial Justice and Equality? In June 2020, in response to the massive social movement following George Floyds murder, Indie gaming marketplace / community itch.io but together a game/media bundle with all proceeds going to support organizations that are working directly with those affected by racial injustice. When all was said and done the bundle included 1741 items from 840+ creators. It raised $8,153,803.03 for the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund and Community Bail Fund split 50/50. A truly incredible amount, and a testament to peoples desire to see justice enacted.

If you are one of those people who supported this worthy cause you have likely heard of the hits included in the bundle, but there is a LOT of stuff. Some great, some insane, and some bad. it's tough to know where to start, or if a game if worth it. So we're here! Each week we randomly dip into a few of the 1365 are games from the bundle and sharing our thoughts. In the spirit of this bundle, every episode we highlight a new cause and donate. If you donate we'll give you a shout out on the show.

Tune and and play along or just tune in to listen to two video game enthusiasts play some very wonderful and weird games.....and also some bad ones.
