Thank you to everyone who showed up at @vangameconnect.ca for VGX!

We got so much feedback for our demo for Pirouette Princess, and we're so happy to see people enjoying it. There's still a lot of polish to do, but we're hoping for the demo to be available early next year!

I am glad many people like my art for the game. I am very tired

Games from Vancouver Steam sale is happening on November 21st - 30th.

The background shows an illustration of Vancouver, albeit, with a lot more strange happenings. On the left in the water, a giant mech with four legs towers over the mountains. An ominous UFO ship is hovering above Downtown Vancouver. And, just in the sea, there is a giant octopus.

This is putting some needed fun in Vancouver.

You heard that right!

We're no experts in the least, but I imagine so are many of you. We hope to not only highlight the game, Pirouette Princess, but also the process we've taken so far, reflect on our choices, and any other questions you may have!

Lastly, @stellacrows.bsky.social !

She's been hopping in from time to time, but that doesn't mean her work has been any less valuable. You will see her background assets, UI, and level design in Pirouette Princess!

First up, our main coder!

Chris has been working very hard to make sure our newest game, Pirouette Princess, is actually functional. Without him, none of our games would exist.
