Ōtautahi based game development studio Fnife Games has recently put their queer narrative indie game demo, Small Town Emo, onto Steam, after it’s release earlier on this year.
The demo goes through a nostalgic day in the life of a queer teenager in small town Aotearoa, aiming to recall the memories of the late 2000’s through the style of a Nintendo Game Boy.
Liam had a chat with Thomas Barrer, the main developer, artist, and writer behind the game, about its production and eventual release. This is the extended cut, where we also talk about Fnife Games' other projects and other stuff.
For their weekly interview, News and Editorial Director, Jessica Hopkins, spoke to ACT’s Simon Court about the government’s new measures aimed at reducing youth vaping, significant cuts to the Ministries for Primary Industries and Health as directed by the government, and calls from more than 30 organisations, including World Vision, Save the Children, and Greenpeace, for the government to create a special humanitarian visa for Palestinians in Gaza with family connections to New Zealand.
The Government is reintroducing the Three Strike laws which were repealed by Labour during their last term. These laws set out mandatory, lengthy sentences for some repeat offenders.
The laws have been controversial, with experts stating that there is no evidence that they work in preventing serious crime.
The Government has also announced a reduction in support to community food providers. Auckland City Mission has stated they may need to cut their food packages by half.
For our weekly catch-up with the Labour Party, Wire Host Caeden asks Labour Deputy Leader Carmel Sepuloni about both of these topics.
The government’s controversial “boot camps” for youth offenders begin on the 29th of July. These boot camps have been the subject of recent news due to their huge cost and military component.
The arrival of boot camps comes as funding has been slashed at Oranga Tamariki, causing the organisation to abruptly cancel hundreds of contracts. These contracts included organisations who say the work they do is “frontline” despite the Government stating their funding cuts won’t impact frontline workers.
Wire Host Caeden speaks to Labour Spokesperson for Children and Youth, Willow-Jean Prime about both of these topics.
