Check out the new Button Man trailer from our friends at @styraxstudios.bsky.social. They've mashed up a number of ingredients that I love. (Adventure? Check. Beat 'em up? Check. Hergé/Golden age of comics aesthetic? Check.) It should be on your radar! www.youtube.com/watch?v=OxAn...

One of the highlights every convention for me is checking out the Canadian games. At Gamescom, it was genuinely inspiring seeing so many Canadian devs showing off their wonderful work on the world stage. 🇨🇦 🎮 I wrote about a bunch that were featured at the show, including a few I got to demo myself.

Goodbye #gamescom it’s always a pleasure! #indiedev #indiegame #buttonman #backtoHalifax
