VENBA is leaving Game Pass soon and it's a short little game about a South-Indian family that emigrates to Canada. You learn their storoes and cook with them. I can't recommend it enough. It doesn't take long to play, it'll break your heart and make you hungry. Incredible game.
i'm about 2/3 through project 2025 -- ugh -- if you're genuinely worried that "weird" is gonna backfire, pick 10 pages from 32-881, any 10 at random, doesn't matter. print em out, read em with a pen in hand. you'll underline a dozen things the most generous of good faith readings would call "weird"
I went to college in Texas so honestly that PROBABLY explains at least part of it
isn't it bizarre that games often don't qualify for arts funding? like a game could easily have a screenplay writer, actors and a director, and a bunch of visual and audio artists and governments will be like "no this is for actual art like writing and tv and movies and painting"
Go to your local public library and ask if there's a Friend of the Library group, if yes, find out when they meet and show up to see what they do. If they don't, ask if the library wants such a group to exist and work with others to start one.
Dunno who needs to hear this but: Game dev articles a lot of times say "nobody wants to play this kind of game anymore" or "we have to do it this way now because," and just ignore those bits. They're talking about AAA, if not F2P gamers, and seriously: who cares? Make games for YOUR audience. 🎮
You see this with genres other than literary fiction as well. I remember taking a couple of spec fiction classes in college and authors like Butler or LeGuin were only barely touched on if at all
