The 'We Don't Play With ICE' campaign is demanding employers commit to being a fourth amendment workplace.
NEW: Game developers at direct-join union UVW-CWA have launched the 'We Don't Play With ICE' campaign in a bid to protect their colleagues across the industry from marauding ICE agents.
At GDC, I spoke to union members about the petition and was told this is a "critical matter." Full story below:

War Games | Scott Beauchamp
Video games have become both the subtlest and the most effective kind of military propaganda.
βRealism isnβt always fun or flattering to the militaryβso it is often an early casualty of military-themed game development.β

Combat Test 1! (gc2)
Each Enemy will have Heart-sets. Each heart is a specific amount of health. Some are nearly 1 hit, while others have 4 full sets of hearts.
Additionally, some Enemies have a weakness to certain shapes, or elemental abilities!

Indie deckbuilder All Will Rise's dev joins No Games For Genocide boycott and plans to hand back funding it received from Microsoft
"We encourage others in the industry to join us and take a stand."
all will rise is handing back Microsoft money & pledging @nogamesforgenocide.com β itβs a difficult thing to do when funding and attention are scarce commodities for indies like us, but we hope more of our fellow devs and indie studios will join us in taking a stand π₯

We Don't Play with ICE: Pledge to be a 4th Amendment Workplace
Many of us game workers -- as well as the building grounds, maintenance, and kitchen staff who care for the places in which we work -- are visa-holders and immigrants. In the current climate, we are v...
Every day there are new reports of ICE detaining and targeting our communities. Video game devs and the workers who keep our workplaces running are not safe from this.
Thatβs why weβve launched WE DON'T PLAY WITH ICE, a campaign demanding companies commit to becoming 4th Amendment Workplaces.

Going forward I'm going to try to focus my level design around interactions. If I'm going to model something, it's going to be so I can do something with it.
In this case, I wanted to be able to break an ice pond with a pogo-jump, so that justifies its existence.
