Think back to the last time you needed to gripe about representation in gaming

jellyfishdirigible:

Personally, I remember it like it was yesterday, BECAUSE IT WAS. Heck I have a gripe about representation in gaming scheduled for 4:30 this afternoon. But I might cancel it because Raji: An Ancient Epic is on Kickstarter right now

“Raji An Ancient Epic is an action adventure game set in ancient India. Raji, a young girl is chosen by the gods to fight against the demonic invasion of the human realm. Her destiny is to rescue her younger brother and face the demon lord Mahabalasura”

Read that again if you need to, just soak that up. And look at how beautiful

“oh but that’s just concept art the real game won’t look that good” WRONG! Go and look at the [demo playthrough on Youtube], or play the free demo and see how beautiful for yourself, you can get it on [Steam] or [itch.io] or [indiedb] RIGHT NOW.

Can’t be bothered with that? Here’s some actual screencaps.

“I prefer PoC stories told by PoC themselves” well you’re in luck friend, that’s exactly what this is.

And you can get in on this for as little as £16 (around $20). Comparable AAA titles cost $60, and even comparable Indie titles cost $30-40. That’s a steal my friends, that’s a bargain.

Raji: An Ancient Epic is live on Kickstarter until December 12 2017 9:30 PM UTC. Check it out.

Disclosure: I am not affiliated with this project, and I have backed it.
I am not receiving any compensation or reward for this post, I back a lot of things on Kickstarter that I don’t post about, but this is such an incredible project I felt motivated to share it. I hope you’ll love it and share it too.

Just a heads up Patreon has plans to change their pricing model and its caused a lot of users to drop donations

I thought I should explain this on this blog because this is the only blog I have that regularly gets monthly patreon donations and its good to spread this information.

Patreon slammed after pitching fee hike as boon for creators

I’m not here to encourage you to donate or not donate to my patreon for this blog, I just want to explain what’s going on:

If you like my blog and want to continue donating to me, I’m grateful, but if not I can also understand that. I’ve already lost one monthly donor this month, probably because of the change in structure which heavily punishes those who make multiple donations.

If you want to support my Canadian Politics blogging you can do so here.

If you think these proposed changes will hurt your chances of supporting my blogging in the future, I can look into other websites I can use instead. I’ve seen patreon users online who are already losing a fair amount of monthly donations due to this:

If you could share this so other Patreon creators are aware of these coming changes I’d appreciate it. This has the potential to negatively effect a lot of artists, bloggers, and creative people online who depend on donations just to survive.
