It's a visual novel like a telltale series, intermixed with a couple fight sequences, focusing on a post-apocalyptic United States road trip crossing three countries. It's mostly relationship management of the people on the road trip, who are using a cover of being a touring music punk band called dustborn. Hence the name of the game.
like the silo novel/tv series kitbashed with scp
Lol what a rag
i played it. Here are my thoughts https://hackertalks.com/post/4156518
Tldr: it's fine for a visual novel at the $10 price point.
As far as conservative goes, why does anybody care about a tiny art project that's getting no attention? If you truly don't like projects like this, don't talk about them, giving them attention is what they want.
I didn't know either and I consider myself a conservative gamer. Apparently they got 150,000 euros of grant money from the Norwegian government, which is a pretty obscene misuse of tax payer money. It's not even about Norway, it's about America.
I feel like that's the bigger story here.
Governments love to give away money for special projects. That's one of the problems of a large government.
We don't know the parameters of the program, it may have been just a subsidize Norwegian gaming. To keep the industry going or help develop it. It may have been to push social agendas. Which that game definitely tried to do so they got good value for money there. It may have just been like an artistic support Grant.
They have a full-time staff of 15 people, they worked on the game for 5 years. So $150,000 does not cover the cost of the game ... Not by a long shot
The credits for the game mentioned 309 different people, so if they spread that money inside of Norway that might help the industry
I appreciate your thoughts. All I got when searching for it was people raging about DEI and wokeness.
Define "woke."
Containing, exhibiting or supporting progressive social values.
Easy, “stuff conservatives don’t like”
Woke Definition & Meaning - Merriam-Webster - https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/woke
Woke - Wikipedia - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woke
Definition of literacy - the ability to read and write.
Would you like me to paste dictionary links, as you did? At least by pasting your links, you're actually honest about your intentions. Congrats, I guess, you're more honest than your brethren. Still a racist shit stain, however.
I have been called many things but never a liar. I debate with facts. Furthermore, I don't know why you are upset when you asked me to define Woke, I gave you a Wiki and an American dictionary source. Then you call me a racist who is honest. Are you the inverse of that, a non-racist and a liar? I provided links because leftist are obsessed with valid sources that aren't right wing. Is Merriam-Webster and Wikipedia too much right wing for you? Then, if I provide my definition with my own words, the leftist says I have no proof what it means, and I made it up. Islam is not a race. You know Turkey? Not the bird, the country? It is majority Muslim and, by appearances, look white. They share genetics with Greeks. Nevertheless, they are not Christianized.
I guess the "woke media" is just 3 sites with unbiased reviews of the game? It's not a popular genre so I get why a ton of people aren't playing it. Weird to see people get so triggered over this game.
