We got offered ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS for the complete IP and publishing rights to Penny Larceny! Now we can finally afford that heart medication! Indie devs, no matter how unprofitable your game is (and penny is NOT profitable) do not stoop to this. Odds are it'd get ground up for AI anyway.05 May 2026 00:06 +0000at://did:plc:ekrbzeb5iwzbkd3kwdchwhke/app.bsky.feed.post/3ml2vbz7mtc2vhttps://bsky.app/profile/fictionfactorygames.com/post/3mkupmpw7nc2bQuestion: Do you use the dyslexia-friendly font option in our games? Research seems to indicate it doesn't work very well, but we don't want to remove an accessibility option we've supported for years without checking with the community first.02 May 2026 13:08 +0000at://did:plc:ekrbzeb5iwzbkd3kwdchwhke/app.bsky.feed.post/3mkupmpw7nc2bhttps://bsky.app/profile/fictionfactorygames.com/post/3mkksb6tgjs2vEmail we just got: "You should list your game on our new game platform focused on NFT, AI, and cryptocurrency!"

We have not started a TikTok. We make narrative games, not wacky short form viral videos. If that means languishing in obscurity, so be it.
