And it's so refreshing to see actual Photoshop work, as opposed to AI slop. More fun for the creator, more fun for the audience. πŸ™Œ

At last, #BraveCart has a map! Each chapter of the game will feature an adorable paper map tracking the levels you've completed, how many stamps you've earned and your progress in smashing the duopoly!

OMG abandoned trolleys confirmed in Call of the Golden Valley! πŸ’™ Phillipson is now officially canon.

But seriously, everybody buy @osaurusstudios.bsky.social's game now. It captures the vibe of rural Australia perfectly, wrapped up in an awesome mystery.

Screenshot of BraveCart. It contains an overhead/bird's eye view of a grassy area surrounded by fencing. There's a little red shopping cart inside the fenced area, bales of hay dotted around the map, and evil retail staff waiting to capture the cart.

BraveCart, by @hojostudio.bsky.social, is a narrative turn-based puzzle adventure about an abandoned shopping cart who defies two empires and sparks a revolution. Oh, and it's SUPER addictive!

Hey @dannyodwyer.bsky.social we'd love to chat to you about BraveCart, and the glorious challenges of trying to create an eco-focused game for change as a micro studio of 3! :-) We'll be in Melbourne throughout Games Week, then in Sydney after that.

When we decided to add Cybertrucks to BraveCart's carparks, we knew we had to make them as realistic as possible.

In other words, they explode all the time.

We're super honoured to be bringing BraveCart to the Games for Change Asia-Pacific summit this year! I'll be yapping about making an eco-focused satire about consumerism, duopoly and waste and how we're using it to turn players into agents of change.

(...and smashing big corpo)
