"The #EldenRing map is vague for a reason"
"You're supposed to feel lost"
"Games shouldn't handhold you"
"Having to use your own notepad is a good thing"
"If you can't remember where NPCs are, the game isn't for you, play something else"

"NFTs should never be used when a simple and far less costly database table can be managed to provide the same information and benefits"
IGDA also warns developers not to mine cryptocurrency on consumers' devices without consent

This is a really small crowdfunding goal, lets help to smash it. Sequence Storm is already at up at the top of the industry for #accessibility innovation, and made by a solo #indiedev. Please show him your support, if you can't chip in for the crowdfunder an RT is also awesome!
Please help me achieve my stretch goal of adding eye-tracking accessibility to SEQUENCE STORM! igg.me/at/sequence-storm-olo… #a11y #gamedev @AbilityPowered @ianhamilton_ @onehandmostly @NEATWithAdam @momoxmia @Black1976 @beckyloutyler @TobiiDynavox @SpecialEffect @AbleGamers
