I was hoping it wouldn't come to this, but here we are. I'm making a Montreal version of LoserLane.

If you want to contribute a building, I made a tool for you! https://omarieclaire.github.io/loserlanemontreal/building-generator

It is a major honour to be listed under 'even stranger games.'

I feel seen <3

I made a tiny protest game about the terrifying reality of biking in Toronto without bike lanes

Come play LoserLane at the Art Gallery of Ontario tomorrow? Watch out world, we're rolling into the museums!

I made a playful site for @torontogamesweek@mastodon.gamedev.place again this year. You'll find a few easter egg alt-sites if you click around and explore.

Join us at Frédéric Back to play with glowing orbs at dusk.

We'll paint with light above 40 million tonnes of transforming material, ritual shifting into experimental play.

Part of Montreal's first Games Week, Nov 15 4pm (sunset is unstoppable). Limited spots:

@avlap2@mastodon.nl It's probable that we'll never know? Doug, the living being who is part of the web of all living things is hiding behind thick, calcified layers of shame, fear, and a thin, protective veneer of anger, masking his bottomless loneliness and ravenous hunger as he flails and flaccidly thrusts forward, trying to make meaning in the world by tearing it apart, unmaking it, transforming everything he touches to mirror the empty place inside.

In a practical sense: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doug_Ford

Happy Labour Day!

I'm about to do a 5th & final printing of my comic about how the work of making games is sometimes awful and how it doesn't need to be!

Last chance to get a comic for free! Let me know if you want a copy (or 10 for your friends)

Toronto Games Week starts in a week! Everyone is going to be there, from the rabble-rousers to the mayor.

Join us for a night parkade, chase an infinite sunset, fight for DEI or DIE, make a business deal, get lost in the PATH, play giant games, search for the godmama. We got you!
