finally learning to draw the Nirvanna the Band boys after fifteen-odd years of staring at their faces #ntbts

Looking at the positive side of not travelling as much means it only encourages you to go to local events more. To that point, I'm really looking forward to checking out Level Up Showcase 2026 next month in Toronto. Really cool way to support students and the next generation of game devs!

✨Hire me to write some memorable melodies for you!✨ Im available for more music work this year! Im always open to negotiate pay and can write in a variety of styles and do implementation in Wwise🔥 This is a small medley of some of my more RPG ish music RTs appreciate (for me AND Nala heh)

we have ✨ something special ✨ for you on April 9, so it's a great time to play 1000xRESIST! buy it during the Spring Sale (40% off) to experience: ✨ doomed yuri ✨ women committing (so many) crimes ✨ generational trauma ✨ and so much more... ➡️ s.team/a/1675830/

I told SGF's PR team something similar yesterday. What's especially ironic about Keighley's insistence of doing these events in the U.S. is that he's literally Canadian! And hey, if you don't want to do it here, I know many who would even travel all the way to, say, Europe over the U.S. right now.

Still riding the high of Project Hail Mary last night. Breathtakingly gorgeous and surprisingly touching, especially in IMAX 70mm. #LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched

We are 70 hours from the end of our campaign. We have a littlle under 3.7K euros left before we hit the magical 50K mark, and All Will Rise will have a glorious mayoral election story that allows you to get involved in the political future of Muziris. Let's make it happen! #indiegames #videogames

Double Feature 2/2 Waited a week and came pretty far to see this in IMAX 70mm — so hyped! 🚀

Double Feature 1/2. 🔪 #NowWatching

just saw that video with the tire men. but how do I make this about #FinalFantasy #FFVI

Been going through @mackeza.bsky.social’s new Super Nintendo book over the past week and absolutely loving it. A really great read with lots of fascinating insight!

Oh hey!! IM WRITING THE MUSIC ON THIS! So glad to be collabing with @radiofreelunch.bsky.social again 🥹

We at @mobilesyrup.com cover only the Most Important™ of news. J. Jonah Jameson was right all along -- Spider-Man really is a fraud.

hi! we're the makers of 1000xRESIST, and we have... something special coming up soon 👀 ✨ triple-i showcase on April 9 ✨ 9am PDT / 12pm EDT ✨ no hosts, no ads, just GAMES see you there, sisters 💖

TBH, Toronto Comicon's lineup is particularly soft this year, but I still plan to pop by for a bit while I'm downtown. Anyone else I know going?

A stylish turn-based combat RPG about fighting corporate convenience with home cooked meals and makes you feel something in a 12-15 hour story. Dosa Divas is for you. Made with humans and zero AI. Try the demo! Every wishlist helps. We’re out in April. store.steampowered.com/app/2950710/...

Not every day one of the greatest movies of all time gets re-released in IMAX. Looking forward to heading back to a town with an ocean view. #NowWatching

Thank you so much!! 🎉🎉 The Crimson Diamond has hit 600 reviews, Overwhelmingly Positive! Making this game was my dream project, seeing people play and enjoy it gives me so much joy. ☺️ And it's still 25% off (until tomorrow) for the #CuriousOdyssey Steam event! store.steampowered.com/app/1098770/...

i grow tired of engaging with things. i am weary of the takes. i only desire to eat chicken wing now.

Cool to see the just-announced Undertale Symphony world tour has some Canadian stops. (We often get left out.) Looking forward to hearing Megalovania live. 🤘

Dune: Part Three looks fucking awesome as expected. December can't get here fast enough.

After more than a week away, I have some theatre going to catch up on. First up, a lil’ Canadian indie horror. #NowWatching

This comes after the January closure of Ubisoft Halifax amid studio unionization efforts.

I recently checked out the Space Explorers: The Infinite VR experience for its Ontario debut. A really fascinating look at life aboard the International Space Station from Montreal-based Felix & Paul Studios. (Also got a kick out of it being in the old Playdium location at Square One.)

This is a great point and it's an even bigger problem in Canadian games. While there are some solid government funding opportunities, it feels like much more should still be done. Games are a much bigger export than film or TV, yet they don't get the same love and attention from government.

We’re almost at 900 backers, and there’s less than a week left of our #Kickstarter! It would be incredible to reach 1000 by the end of our Kickstarter, could you help us achieve this? Muziris needs you! 🔗: www.kickstarter.com/projects/spe... #IndieGame #GameDev #IndieDev

I don't want to be controversial here, but I think Ryan Coogler is incredibly talented.

Really wanted Sinners to take home Best Picture but One Battle After Another was still great at least. Overall pretty solid #Oscars night.

‼️ Attention ‼️The WINGS Women's Day Sale event is over, but our updated demo is staying up a bit longer. There’s still time to dig, sniff, and explore, and if you fall in love with our little island, please hit that wishlist button and leave a review! store.steampowered.com/app/3890490/...

Happy birthday to David Cronenberg, born on this day in 1943 in Toronto! As a director, his acclaimed films include The Fly, Scanners, A History of Violence, Eastern Promises, Crimes of the Future and The Shrouds. He has won nine Genie\Canadian Screen Awards.

not just for games, either! if you loved Nirvanna The Band The Show The Movie, thank the Canadian government bc it was funded largely by both federal and provincial grants

Inititives like this are a huge part of how developers in Canada, Germany, and other countries with such grants were able to wind up such flourishing indie scenes tbh

NGL, being mostly off the grid in Europe this week has been so rejuvenating. Can share more about the trip later this month, but for now, I’m just grateful for the opportunity.

In an earnest attempt to try and understand the tech, I engaged with as much AI stuff as I could at GDC and spoke to developers about it. Walked away from the show more confused than when I entered. Wrote about why it's so hard to parse a convoluted trend. www.polygon.com/generative-a...

The past week has been all about Nirvanna the Band and the vampires of Waterloo. #LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched

heyyy besties, if you missed it last week: Act Two is coming this year, and it'll be a FREE update. 💃 If you buy the game now, you'll get Act Two for free! That's twice the sapphic space yearning for half(ish) of the final price! 💛 Don't sleep on it, grab the game here: ambrosiasky.com

We need just over 10k to get fund our next stretch goal which is...MORE MUSIC!!🎼=🎵 All Will Rise already has some sick beats so why not help fund some more??💰 Only got 10 days left!! 🥺🥺🥺 www.kickstarter.com/projects/spe...

Yes, I've been loving Marathon. No, I have not been sleeping. Yes, I will continue to not sleep and play Marathon. wccftech.com/review/marat...

We are so happy that we managed to reach our stretch goal for romantic missions for All Will Rise @allwillrise.bsky.social, and now our next stretch goal is in sight at 40K euros: more music! We have exciting plans. Let me explain: #indiegames #indiedev #gamedev

In case you missed it, we released a new gameplay trailer for Echo Generation 2 yesterday in the @themix.bsky.social Spring Game Showcase ✨ #indiedev #indiegame #deckbuilder #turnbased #TrailerTuesday

Unlike the other GDC, we actually let people come right into our #GDCheese event even if they didn't get a ticket

The first and only time I ever went to GDC was for Google Stadia, so it's cool to see Google continuing to revolutionize gaming through new technologies

I too wish I could have Final Fantasy but worse
