Lately, @thehandeyesociety.bsky.social has been collaborating a bit with Ubisoft Toronto and we got a tour of their studio recently. We saw a lot of cool stuff, but what was really cool is we got to take photos with some of their Mocap Gear! The things I get to do for this job... :D

We've been a bit quiet on this side working on our upcoming showcase. But never fear! We're getting all dressed up and ready to celebrate Women's History Month in Style! Stay tuned for more deets coming atcha soon! @wingsfund.me @womenledgames.com

It sure would be ghastly if people in Toronto who make games got together at a bar and showed each other how cool their new project that's coming along is or whatever. Well anyway, lets look at the old poster board-- Oh no... Ohhhhh no! OH NO! Why didn't you tell me Dirty Rectangles was tomorrow!

Less than a week away now... JUST SIX DAYS until a return to normalcy--A RETURN TO SANITY! Feb 11th WEDNESDAY! ⁸ᵖᵐ ᵉᵛᵉⁿ No more bullshit! See you there gang. The show where you are the main event and the audience partially sits on the stage! (due to the layout)

Big news 💛 Miriam Verburg is officially stepping into the role of Executive Director at Hand Eye Society! After a successful interim period, she’s continuing on with the full support of the Board. We’re so grateful for her care, leadership, and excitement for what’s next. Welcome, Miriam ✨

Remember kids: Dirty Rectangles is not happening today! It is happening tomorrow Thursday January 15th instead!🦆

𝕋𝕠𝕣𝕠𝕟𝕥𝕠 𝔻𝕚𝕣𝕥𝕪 ℝ𝕖𝕔𝕥𝕒𝕟𝕘𝕝𝕖𝕤 𝕚𝕤 𝕠𝕟 𝕋ℍ𝕌ℝ𝕊𝔻𝔸𝕐 DON'T BE CAUGHT WITH YOUR PANTS DOWN! And your shirt pulled up over your belly... And god knows what is happening with your hat! Oh, it's there on the floor and you keep kicking it every time you try to pick it up. January 15th 8:00pm @ See-scape

The Hand Eye Society Ball in Toronto last month was so much fun. I loved seeing everyone dress up and play Between. To quote @thehandeyesociety.bsky.social - absolute chaos and joy! More photos coming soon.

Just a small end of the year update: I’ve joined the @thehandeyesociety.bsky.social board of directors! It has been such an incredible cultural institution in Toronto for many years, and I’m looking forward to supporting them in the coming years.
