Constance is a 2D hand-drawn action adventure featuring a paintbrush-wielding artist, striving to escape from a colorful but decaying inner-world, created by her declining mental health.

In the past I've joked that the only way to get the current Albertan government interested in the game industry is to develop a "mob-oil" title*.

This headline feels like it should get their attention. It won't, but it should.

*never said it was a good joke.

I’m sure every member of ICE would hate to see this video of them backing away in fear from a frog, so whatever you do please don’t spread this around 🐸

Stretch more.

Whatever you think you’re doing for stretching? It’s not enough. Stretch whenever you’re not actively doing something that will prohibit it.

Instant pre-order. Act 2 is an incredible rock opera interpretation of the Megaman store and I cannot wait to hear what they're been cooking!
