We're a small team of queer creators making videogames. We made Lookouts, and are slowly working on new stuff.

This blog is for us to post updates and announcements about Lookouts, and other projects when we have something to share, as well as to show off all the amazing fanart people have made of our silly little videogame. You can see what we've reblogged all in one place in our fanart tag.

We also have asks open, so if you want to ask us any questions about Lookouts or its characters, please feel free. We love to hear from people about the game!

We might post something funny every so often too. Maybe. No promises. You'll be the judge I guess.

Hi all, it's Andrea. I would like to thank everyone who has supported Nour's campaign so far, your contributions mean a lot, and its thanks to you all that Nour has been able to vaccinate and provide for his children.

These are two images that Nour has sent me recently of clothes and toys that he was able to buy for his daughter and son.

With winter coming up, Nour and his family will need to purchase even more clothes and proper outwear.

Please continue to support him and his campaign by donating and sharing with your friends.

You can find Nour's blog at @noor120abd. His original blog was noorabd1992, and staff not only terminated his blog, but they also wiped all of his posts, which includes @90-ghost's reblog. Luckily 80-ghost's reblog can still be seen by pasting the link into the wayback machine.

I am Noureddine from Gaza, I am 32 years old, and I stand before you as a person trying to achieve healing.

I am married and the father of two children. My wife gave birth to my second son, 4 months old, in the war

He was born during the war and in very harsh conditions that no human being can bear. Our family moved from the hospital directly to the tent, and I cannot describe the extent of the suffering and difficulty of living in the tent

‎We have been forced to go to Al-Hawl more than 7 times, and the burden has been completely lifted, and there is not enough cheese, medicine, and vitamins for my children. Now he specializes in the livestock in Khan Yunis, south of the Gaza Strip, in the tent. Life is very difficult in the tent, there are harmful insects.

It is difficult for me to find the words to describe what we face every day in Gaza. No food, no medicine, no clean drinking water, oppression, helplessness, psychological pressures, doubts, and daily trauma due to the loss of loved ones. In Gaza, it's not just hunger and fear; Rather, it means actual death.

During the ten months, I have no source of income at all.

Every day I struggle to bring in food for my children

Nour is a family friend of Mohiy (currently @/mohiy-gaza2) and Wafa (currently @/wafaaresh6), you can see 90-ghost's reblog of both of their campaigns here and here.

Please Share, and consider donating if you have the means. Minimum donations can be the reason a gofundme succeeds!

Even if you can't donate, Sharing still helps by getting more eyes and support on the campaign.

🇵🇸 From BDS:

More than 300 Palestinian sports teams are calling to ban Israel from the Olympics over its genocide against Palestinians in Gaza. [...] In Gaza, Israel has killed Palestinian Olympic Football coach Hani Al Masdar, destroyed the Palestinian Olympic Committee offices, and turned sports facilities into shameful mass detention and torture centers. We can’t sit back as the IOC allows Israel to use the Olympics to sportswash its genocide in Gaza and its apartheid regime against Palestinians everywhere. Support the call from Palestinian teams. Join the campaign to #BanIsrael from the Olympics and peacefully disrupt the road to the Paris 2024 games. 

Global days of action planned for March 15-17:

Ahead of the IOC executive board meeting in Lausanne Switzerland (March 19-21), take the call from Palestinian teams to your National Olympic Committee, International Sports Federations and Recognized Sports Federations. Organize protests, sit-ins, peaceful disruptions, or awareness raising events on Israeli attacks on Palestinian sports.

For more concrete information on how you can participate in the campaign, see the link above. You should also check in with your local BDS-affiliated organization(s) to see if they have anything planned for these dates (if they don't, consider bringing it up to them)

If you're not familiar with any BDS-affiliated organizations in your country (or state/city), then take a look at BDS's "Join a Campaign'"page.

If that sounds like your thing then we humbly recommend Lookouts!It's a romance/drama visual novel set in the Old West. Two lookouts scouting for gold meet in the desert, and end up in the fight for their lives, and each other.

The game is completely free to play and is just by two silly queers who wanted to see more stories like this out in the world. It would mean the world to us if you gave it a look!

the flour massacre

these people just wanted to get food for their families, something as basic as flour, one of the things that the very core of humanity is built on, and israel used it as a trap to murder them in cold blood

it’s bandcamp friday! here’s a new EP of some country/cowboy songs i recorded for a queer western visual novel called Lookouts in 2021!!

"Where is my daughter? Tell her I don't want flour anymore"

"My brother was shot holding a bag of flour. He kept holding on to it so they kept shooting him"

"Why does flour have to be stained with blood?"

Over 100 have been killed. Every single one of them hungry. Every single one of them has someone waiting for them to come back with the bag of flour.
