It's challenging to go far in the Slope game run because the track is set to be endless. Moreover, the random obstacles require players to steer precisely.
It’s always encouraging to see agencies invest in new perspectives and champions for meaningful stories. Supporting MG and YA voices from BIPOC writers helps the industry keep moving forward — sometimes one careful step at a time, like in Crossy Road. Wishing Tasneem Motala every success in this new role.
I really like Tasneem Motala’s expertise, but I’m also curious: she says “magnetization loves deep Steal Brainrot Game stories” — is she open to manuscripts that don’t follow a clear commercial formula? I think many BIPOC authors have very unique, unpredictable perspectives.
