Thank you, glad you got something out of it.

Hello,

Apologies you had so many issues, and I appreciate your perseverance and interest. The goal of the website was to offer a more inclusive option, as I knew the visual target of the game would alienate some, so I'm disappointed you had trouble with that as well. I actually built most of the site using Firefox, so not sure what's going on there, I will look into it. If there was ever going to be additional language support it'd be for the website, as it's easier to update and more accessible in general. No plans for that or a linux port now though.

Thanks again.

Me too! Thanks a bunch.

Thanks for checking it out!

good luck with the new channel!

wow, thank you for sharing with your students. that's such a compliment.

love this. Uncanny visuals. Riding that elevator was such a treat. 

I mucked about with having mannequins you could spawn on top of the benches to get a sense of scale. but the ragdoll stuff was too goofy. I had fun tho!

okokok one more lol

Just scrapped a few together for you. Hope one fits your Steam library needs!

heck yea do it.

Done!

i'll put it on the list of 'maybe one days'.

Thanks for taking the time to check it out

That'd be neat! I'm working on getting it running on cheaper hardware at the min tho.

Thanks for the kind words and for spending the time.

Sorry about that! I'm working on a website version to make the info as accesible as possible, though I recognise that's not quite as tempting! Thanks for your time.

Yea, It's wild how easy it is to just accept these things as they are, or shrug them off as just the product of incompetent designers.

Thanks for checking it out.

heh, yea. The fact that they are interchangeably used as seats or bollards implies a general negligence in design thinking.

Thank you, what a lovely read!

One of the most common (and least visible) attempts at exclusionary design is not to just not build any public seating at all. It's quite common in financial districts, the only people they want in thoe spaces are either walking to work or getting lunch.

And yea, I'd say the most useless of them are mostly there to offer the illusion of a civil, public space. They are perches for the consumer class to drink a coffee on and nothing more. Though, I don't think those spherical ones are even intended for perching. It's just a slightly more visually appealing way of stopping people leaning up against the wall than... with another wall??

cheers mate!

appreciate it!

Take a first-person wander through Monuments to Guilt, a short exhibition exploring exclusionary design. Acquaint yourself with the core principles of this harmful practice, re-evaluate the objects you see every day and let guilt sit with you, for just a little while.

Hello,

Just wanted to say thank you for making this. I've been deciding wether or not to start a beginners course in video game art production and I've been on the edge. But seeing this has been inspiring, for lack of a better word. You made a thing that I really like and got me to realise their might be a space for me to carve something of my own.

I'm also furious because now I can't make it this! lol
