🌦 GAME DEVELOPER 🪄 ui/ux & systems design 🔮 #MagicTheGathering, #STARWEAVE, #lunagerie 🎋 views my own — let's tell heartening stories together! • currently creating: #oc, #ffxiv, #games

Steam News letterhead that reads the following message:

Wow. I’m writing these final words before we press the big scary Release button on STARWEAVE and finally see our efforts presented to the world. I can only hope, as I usually do, that my work, our work, finds purchase in the hearts of our players the same way its earnest bid for the world gripped the team as we developed it.

We want STARWEAVE to be a story that touches hearts, that acts as a light in what is resigned to always feel like dark, cruel times. May our game convince you to create little revolutions of your own, to get out there and put action to compassion, to change the brutal systems that ordain our lives.

I hope our game changes something, however small, about the way you think about the world around you: the capacity you have to see our complicated and contradictory world from the eyes of another, to wholeheartedly understand the circumstances behind why we lob hatred and scorn towards those we find other, to hold a burning and impelled compassion for all that is broken and unfair about the cycles that control us, and to do something to end them.

Donate, protest, speak up, act, and strive for revolution. Workers’ rights, human rights, peace for the war-torn, equity for the disadvantaged, unapologetic social justice. In a world where shortsighted complacency is easy and safe, do the hard thing and truly consider what binds us to a life that could be better in as short as tomorrow. Refuse the status quo and strive for what broken Beacons could beget us, how much kinder the world might be if we forged a revolution with our compassion.

Thank you, children of the stars. Remember what progress each past generation has granted us, and what we can grant to everyone who still comes after us.
