If at first you donโ€™t succeed, blame the Wi-Fi. Itโ€™s always the Wi-Fi.

Looking to optimize your workflow in Ctrl Alt Deal?

Using the CARD SOURCE to store and retrieve cards can act like a free, albeit slower, way to lock a card for later.

Since yesterday was Thanksgiving here in Canada, let's start the work week with a motivational #Affirmation.

When #ImposterSyndrome knocks, we reply:

I have built worlds out of pixels, persistence, and possibility.

While this is generally for released Indie games, non released games still count as they could be experimental play grounds trying to validate a mechanic or idea.
