There is no shortage of good ideas for disentangling Canada from the U.S. and investing in more resilient alternatives. What all of these ideas have in common is a foundational belief in and commitment to the public interest.

Good reminder that we should keep talking about art we love, *especially* the neglected stuff at the margins. I feel like I used to be a lot better about sharing music+games+etc I'm enjoying, then the dystopia of today's world kinda dimmed that flame. I should reignite it.

The little game we made is #7 on Kotaku's best-of 2024 list!!

It's also 25-30% off on Steam/Switch/PS5!

I'm really proud of it but I can't enjoy playing it purely as a fan, so I'd appreciate if you did in my stead. Thanks!

We made this short video a few years ago that was SUPER useful for all sorts of pitching, and I'm excited to share it now.

As someone who sees hundred of pitches from the other side of this in my publisher life, I would love it if every dev made something like this.

Hope it's helpful to see!
