okay im about to make one of these posts because I REALLY WANT this game to get funded and I want people to know about it!!!
ITS CALLED INDIVISIBLE AND HERES WHY ITS COOL:
Female POC protagonist who isn’t overtly sexualized!!
Lots of references to sooo many different cultures’ mythology
Gorgeous artwork and 2D hand-drawn animation
THE MUSIC THO!!!!
The gameplay is great!!! A really awesome action-RPG fight system with Metroid/Castlevania-esque 2D platforming!
YOU CAN ALREADY DOWNLOAD THE DEMO FOR PC OR PS4!!!
It also has probably the most racially and physically diverse cast I’ve ever seen in a video game.
And theres a lot of physical diversity in the female characters too including a character with a physical disability:
As I’m making this post, their indiegogo campaign still needs about $1,000,000 to go!! They’ve already raised over 500,000 but if they don’t make the goal in 10 DAYS!!! this game won’t get made!!
If you have a PC, you can even play a prototype here!! (You can also get it on PS4!!) Please consider supporting this awesome game and if you can’t give any money at least signal boost this post!
Legit, while I was absolutely in love with Skullgirl’s approach to fighting games and 1920s Jazz/Body Horror aesthetic, it bugged me that for a cast primarily about women they were all sexualised in the same boring way.
Indivisible fixes that shit SO HARD and I’d genuinely like to see it made.
hey, i know this is my art blog but I have a lot more followers here than on my side account so I’ll just delete this post when the campaign ends.
I care a lot about this game being made because i haven’t really seen any others of its kind and I’ve honestly been wanting to play a game like this my entire life.
please please please please consider supporting it, representation and whatever aside the prototype is genuinely REALLY REALLY fun and has a very intelligent battle system that’s challenging and extremely well-polished.
That’s what Bill Nye has to say in his latest educational video, “Can We Stop Telling Women What to Do With Their Bodies?” In the video, which you can watch above, Nye explains how the idea of “life at conception” simply doesn’t make sense – because many more eggs are fertilized than become humans, due to factors like failure to attach to a woman’s uterine wall.
Sam takes up work as a professional (wildlife) photographer and travels around the world, hiking and protecting endangered species and protests for both animal and human rights alike. She comes back to visit her friends every once in a while and volunteers at the animal shelters and rehab centers whilst staying at Chris and Ashley’s.
Chris and Ashley moved in together and got married, a nice quiet (probably nerdy-themed) wedding with all the crew invited. They named their firstborn son Joshua and their daughter Hannah (middle name Beth).
Sam fell in love with the kids and became Joshua and Hannah’s godmother, often sending them souvenirs and postcards of her journey.
Chris got a job as a simple IT technician, makes decent salary and is pretty happy with his job. Ashley decided to go back to college after giving birth to the kids to pick back up her dreams of becoming a screenwriter/movie producer.
Matt and Jess got together and moved in to a nice little house about a 10 minute drive away from Chris and Ashley.
Matt is now a professional football player and is very respected/well-known. Jess never went to his games due to her agoraphobia, but she always watched him play from the TV and cheer/smile/cook some nice meal to celebrate his victories once he got home. Matt would always end the game by blowing a kiss for her on screen as a dedication.
Jess became an artist after years of art therapy had paid off. She sold home-made jewellery and intricate crafts, made beautiful and colourful abstract sculptures, painted gorgeous scenery and even had her own art exhibition after much encouragement from Matt and her friends.
Mike joined the army and became a dog trainer for their forces, a job which he loved. After he was discharged, he got his own apartment and worked as a dog trainer with several of his own puppies.
Emily went back to her studies and got a doctor’s degree, and is now working towards her post-doctor whilst also being the best (and most feared) professor in a well-respected university.
They all meet up at Chris and Ashley’s backyard every month for BBQ and beer and catch up with each other. Matt would play ball with Joshua as he fawned over his epic touchdown stories, Em and Ashley would patiently help Hannah with her homework together whilst bonding over smalltalk about how tiresome kids are, Sam told Jess stories from her travels and Jess would take inspiration from it for her art, Chris and Mike would do the white-dad and drink beer whilst manning the BBQ.
Every year, on the anniversary of the Washington’s death/disappearance, they would honour the memory of their friends by going somewhere for holiday and have a good time. Chris, especially, would make sure that little Joshua and Hannah were the happiest each year on this day.

ITS HAPPENINGGGGGG!!!!
OMG I WOULD PLAY THE SHIT OUT OF THIS
what happens when they don’t even reach $100k within the next 21 days
Same thing that happens if we only reach $500K: nothing. Kickstarter is all-or-nothing, so if we don’t reach our goal, we don’t fund. (None of you are charged anything, we don’t accept any money, etc.) We’re expecting a big surge as we get close to the closing bell, but the closer we are, the more likely we are to succeed.
The Kickstarter is a test to see if people are interesting in playing a game like this enough to support it. There’s tens of thousands of people who want to play Aberford, but so far only about 1500-1600 have actually pledged to fund it. It’s a lot of support, and we’re grateful, but it won’t be enough unless people keep pledging. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/910316779/aberford-a-game-of-zombies-and-50s-housewives
