NEW ADD-ON AVAILABLE!

We're doing something a little bit different with this Add-on so follow along:

I (Kyle | Vampyre Cinema) and artist (Matt | Belt&Bone) both live in Minnesota, and have talked about how weird it is to be making a game while ICE wages war on our home state.

We discussed having a pledge option for a special digital zine with those proceeds going to support Minnesotans most effected by the terror of ICE. So we are making one. With this zine we all will provide support to Marcia Howard. She is (among other things) a teacher, a union leader, and a stalwart defender of her community. Ms. Howard is best known for her leadership in the racial justice movement, and as a steward of George Floyd Square for nearly 6 years -- which you can read about here. You should also check out her instagram here for more of what is happening daily on the ground in Minneapolis.

Here Is Where It Gets a Little Bit Different:

Rather than accept pledges for this Add-on, where Backerkit and Stripe each take a cut, and we would have to wait until a couple of weeks after the end of the campaign to get these funds out Ms. Howard and the neighbors she supports on the front lines of the resistance against the inhumane actions of ICE, we are giving directly to her.

All You Need to Do to Get This Add-on Zine Is:

Send $10 to Marcia Howard's PayPal (here) or to one of the other links on her Linktree (here).
1. you can send more than $10 if able, or less than $10 if unable, but probably not less than $5.
2. if you want to include a note like "Solidarity with Minnesota" that would probably be nice.
Then email a screenshot of proof to [email protected]
Add the zine to your pledge for $0

So What is This Add-on Zine?

The Earth Is Not Dying is a digitalscenario for Ground to Dust where you play a Minnesotan living through ICE's invasion of Minnesota. The scenario is an over-the-top pressure release valve when things feel too big for any one person to make a difference. Taking on the role of protesters (ranging from snarky sign-waving grannies to the semi-mythological Antifa Super Soldiers) you are tasked with defeating fascism once and for all. Can you make your way up the Pyramid, and clear the way for a new world?

Disclaimers:

I don't know Marcia Howard personally, but I have been inspired by her and supported her work since I found her instagram in 2020.
The Earth Is Not Dying is a work of fiction, and any similarities to anyone or anything are purely coincidental.
