Future? No Thanks! has a trailer and a Steam page. It’s Molleindustria’s most ambitious project to date. Production started on January 2021 as soon as it became clear that the elections weren’t going to be overthrown. It was meant to be a project for the sleepy Biden era, during which thinking about about a better future didn’t seem like a luxury. It expanded in scope and size, eventually spilling over the current dystopia-in-progress.
I still think it’s imperative to envision radical alternatives to the present, but I also worry that as things get worse every day, an ecosocialist utopia it may be perceived as an escapist fantasy or as a What-if-Bernie-won alternate reality. Anyhow, in the next year or so I’ll be trying to finish the damn thing while also humiliating myself on social media to promote it.
If you are reading this, you should wishlist the game on Steam to feed the algorithms.
You can follow its progress on Bluesky and on abominable platforms like Instagram and TikTok. Who knows? Maybe I’ll become a wretched YouTuber too.
