I sort of envisioned this as a museum exhibit featuring quotes from each artist. Because it ended up being so big, I actually have a 2nd (and shorter) companion piece on the way. Got so much wonderful insight from all of the devs that I wanted to include more of it. Look out for Part 2 tomorrow!

VERY excited to share this big project. Many games are made in Canada, but few are *set* here.
