French video game developers staged the first-ever industry-wide strike this week, rallying against deteriorating working conditions and significant job cuts.
Ok. I bought the bundle, but I haven’t heard of any of the games. Are there any that are a “must play”, or do I just add them to the backlog?
Edit: I briefly tried a couple of the in-browser games. What I found was that my French is terrible, and the games need better instructions. I couldn’t do anything in Save the Rioters. Flesh Psychosis is confusing, but might actually be a simple/solid game if I could figure out what I was doing. Macron Dissolution seems to be some sort of political parody quiz game, and I managed to do better than I had any right to do.
Edit 2: I played a couple levels of “RUN: The World in-between”, and it seems like a solid, responsive platformer. I got Super Meat Boy vibes, but I didn’t play it long enough for it to get too challenging.
I ABSOLUTELY did not know about that until your comment, where do you find out about these things? I am always down for charity bundles but I do not always know about them till it is too late. Bought this one.
In case you missed it (posted several times on lemmy) the STJV grève bundle on itch.io

I’ve heard about Minami Lane being cool. I bought because that and the strike
Why did you buy it then ?
To support the strike fund I assume, which is the point of the whole post?
Oh yeah
The strike fund
They’re on the backlog for me.
I bought it mostly for supporting the strike and for the Godot C# books.
“In case you missed it”

I first saw it on [email protected] (in English). It was also on [email protected]
Direct link to the post but it might take you out of your instance (I don’t know how to correctly link a post). https://jlai.lu/post/15406809
I think it was upto this point only posted on french.
Nope, we learned about it from an English written post (see my other comment) about a pcgaming article.
If course we immediately spammed the French lemmy because vive la grève !
