#Cooperative

Love is higher than opinion. If people love one another the most varied opinions can be reconciled - thus one of the most important tasks for humankind today and in the future is that we should learn to live together and understand one another. If this human fellowship is not achieved, all talk of development is empty.

The KO_OP discord just added channels to discuss game development and the topic of cooperatives and unions for videogames!

I have a lot of respect and admiration for KO_OP. You know the saying "be the change you want in the world"? They are that saying applied to making videogames. We need more indie cooperatives like them.

A most pleasant surprise today!!!

Can’t help but wonder why the nameless king is there…

It’s not DLC, it’s a new spinoff game that’s focuses takes place in a world parallel to Elden Ring with a 1 - 3 player cooperative dynamic in mind. You can play as different characters and each has their own abilities, sounds like it may have a bit of base building or something and also boss rush mechanics.

I wrote this essay out of rage against the monetary cost necessary to radically live self-sustainably. I thought that by thoroughly focusing on the origin of money, we could see further to ways humans have evolved communities without monetary currencies.

how are we to embrace traditional indigenous knowledge about our planet Earth and ecological relation to it, if we can't act in it without money? while writing this essay I stumble upon radical epiphanies about rebelling from and sabotaging the systems of our state governments--that I thought I have to teach to and share with my friends and like-minded persons. Let not the fire be alone ✊🏽.

Not necessarily relating to union organising, but, I wrote this article to contain my thoughts after some reading around the local news landscape of my home county.

Hope it proves useful to someone!

Review: The A.R.T. Project from The Op

This is one of the best cooperative games we've played, it even managed to win over Deanna. It is also one of the most beautiful games I own and has been a big hit at our public play events.

KO_OP's studio director Saleem Dabbous recently shared his presentation about game making cooperatives for the Game Developers Conference (GDC).

Here's my GDC presentation on how @KOOPMode is structured and operated as a ~20 person cooperative! Please let me know if you have any thoughts or questions [x]

if you check this out and think "wow that seems insanely risky fuck that" let me introduce you to every company ever. nothing about the coop structure is more risky than a normal company but a lot of it is more equitable. [x]

coops don't inherently solve any of the risk or privilege required to survive in capitalism. They are another tool to empower workers to own their labour and be more directly in control of their work and to share in the profits of that✌️ [x]

Ok, this is such a cool project that I wanted to share:

In Paris, a group of people founded a cooperative grocery store. People join by contributing 100 Euro (10 Euro for students and other people with low income) and 3 hours of work per month. The members of the cooperative decide together what products they have in store and the members (only the members) get to buy them for vastly reduced prices compared to other places. Because they're not out to make profit, they're out to provide healthy, environment friendly and affordable food to their members.

Way to go, coopérative La Louve! That's the sort of projects that we need more of.

I love Sunday closing shifts 🫶
