Fanzine Forward
I can’t believe it’s been a year.
While working on 1000xRESIST, it felt like development would never end. There was always something left to do, some sound, animation, or piece of music. A missing voice line here, a missing texture there. A bug persisting somewhere. I’m told this is a normal feeling in game development – and certainly we had similar experiences in the arts world – but this particular timbre of endlessness was new to me. And I think, new to many of us on the team.
But... upon release, we continued to experience new things. We saw the first reviews go up. We saw players resonating with the story. We saw the first bits of fan art posted online. The first forum posts in ResetEra advocating for the game. The first messages and emails sent through our contact forms. We got to experience 1000xRESIST being discovered. Discovered by fellow devs and industry workers, discovered by the wonderful community gathering in our Discord, discovered by the amazing fans and artists online, and yes, by all the fantastic people here featured in this fanzine.
Performing arts can be lonely. Even though you perform to people in-person and in real-time, after the performance is over, you rarely see the audience again. Their engagement with the work lives inside them, in memory, and one cannot really access that. This is what I’m used to. Getting the post-performance blues.
To see fans continue to engage with 1000xRESIST, to get familiar with usernames and avatars, to answer questions on the Discord, and to witness this fanzine come together – to witness it even existing – has been remarkable. Thank you to all the contributors and organizers for making this possible. There’s so much talent and passion collected here.
We are so grateful to have this community around the game, continuing to bring new people in and spreading the word. We say that a lot. We’ll keep saying it.
1000xRESIST was by no means a guaranteed success. There was a lot of risk. A lot of challenges. After all is said and done, we still exist because of the fans. It means the world to us that they’re making these characters – this story – their own. We get to discover a whole chorus of diverse artistic voices and perspectives, and all of a sudden, it’s not so lonely anymore. It starts to feel more like a collaboration.
So, enough from me. Time to step aside and let these amazing folks take center stage! Six to one and HEKKI GRACE.

Awards
We’ll be heading to the Nebula and Worldcon Conferences this year for the Hugo and Nebula Awards! These ones mean so much to us, as lifelong lovers of science-fiction. Fingers crossed!
On May 1st, it was announced that 1000xRESIST is the winner of a Peabody Award. We could not be more grateful and frankly, stunned, that we’ve received this amazing honour. We’re still digesting it. It really is an honour of a lifetime. We’ll have more to say about it later, but for now...we’re still...taking that all in!
100,000+ Copies Sold!
As of today, 1000xRESIST has sold over 100,000 copies on all platforms! It’s a great milestone for us to cross at the end of our first year. It's a threshold we never thought we could cross while working on the game, so we're just humbled by the love.
THANK YOU so much to all the fans that have supported us by spreading the word. We still keep up on all the channels, from Reddit, to Discord, to ResetEra – we are so, so grateful for all the passion.
We’re going to post the Mauve Stonks meme, because...why not.
What’s Next
✨ Something is coming on May 16th. Watch here, our Discord, and our Bluesky.
✨ Something else is coming on May 22nd. Tune into the Six One Indie Showcase.
In Closing...
The last year has been a rollercoaster. We are so lucky to meet so many new and talented people through the game.
We’re celebrating our 1st Anniversary with a packed month of things. We’re also working on some things we can't talk about right now, for later in the year. So stayed tuned!
A shoutout to Maarika, who we commissioned to do the main image for this post! We can’t wait for the next one :)
Until next time, HEKKI GRACE.

1000xRESIST nominated for 2025 Hugo Awards!
🚀 1000xRESIST has been nominated for a HUGO AWARD! 🚀
This is a dream come true for us at Sunset Visitor 斜陽過客. As people who grew up reading science-fiction, we can still remember browsing the paperbacks and seeing “Hugo Award” on the front covers. We couldn’t be more excited and honoured to be nominated.
Thank you to all the fans and Worldcon members that cast a ballot for us. We greatly appreciate your support! ✨
We are doubly delighted that 1000xRESIST has secured a joint Nebula + Hugo nomination, which is something we never considered possible when we set out to make a game. We’ve been pinching ourselves for the last 48 hours.
To celebrate, Remy Siu and Pinki Li take a moment to remember some influential experiences with Nebula/Hugo Award-winning books:
Pinki Li on “Left Hand of Darkness” by Ursula K. Le Guin
The Left Hand of Darkness is one of very few books I’ve read in my life that left me–upon completion—with a kind of inexplicable loss for days. Widely celebrated for its originality and revolutionarity, it offers compelling, complexing, fresh perspectives on gender, society, and otherness on an engrossing alien planet. However, what particularly stays with me, even after all these years since reading, was my embodied experience of endurance—the slow, gruelling movement of two characters amidst unforgettably punishing terrain. In all the inhospitability, The Left Hand of Darkness manages to be ingeniously funny and truly sexy. What a fantastical read in the most dreary, humanizing way. I’ve never quite been the same.
Remy Siu on “Hyperion” by Dan Simmons
I read Hyperion when I was too young to appreciate it, but the “Priest’s Tale” is forever burned into my mind. I devoured it straight through in one sitting, delirious. The growing sense of dread and the sheer impossibility of what was unfolding – I couldn’t look away. At that young age, I never considered that science-fiction could enter such uncanny territories. I still think of the Bikura, Paul Duré, and the Tesla Tree now and again, relishing that moment of utter disbelief. What an absolute fever dream.
The Hugo Awards will be presented in a ceremony on August 16, 2025 at Seattle Worldcon 2025. Other nominated indie games include, Lorelei and the Laser Eyes, Tactical Breach Wizards, Caves of Qud, and more!
