Forehead Chip is a #cyberpunk #runandgun pixel-platformer set within a body-implant dystopia. Where inside, if you dent the city’s shiny surface, everything is not as it seems...

We need to celebrate the Canadian gamedev scene more. Lets list out all the games we can, built at least in part by Canadian gamedevs.

I'll get us started with Balatro.

Now you go.

This is Sceahw with her Wind magic (Wind is a variation of the Wood element that focuses on healing)

She’s a back row healer, I promise!

(She can also equip lances, but lances are still long range; difference is lances use strength stat while guns are pure weapon power)

The world of SHADE Protocol exists as code. Code that you, the player, can wield to shape reality itself.

Need to reach a higher place? Why not slice through the fabric of the universe to get there?

Excited to announce that I'm working on this project as a Lead Developer!
More to come, stay tuned 👽
We did our World reveal at @otkgamesexpo.bsky.social

SHADE Protocol is a 2D cyber-fantasy Metroidvania where music, code, and combat collide.

Swap forms, wield Instruments, and rewrite reality itself.

my best networking advice for anyone trying to break into games: do not expect to get anything out of people you network with. literally just be normal and connect with people because you are genuinely interested in getting to know them.

Robot Detour is almost at 150 reviews on Steam, and I'm slowly realizing it's probably the last "milestone" of reviews this game will get...

Maybe 200 given enough time and boost from next games.

Still, it's kinda a lot, especially for the low sales we got. Selling puzzles on Steam is hard 😅

I'm putting together a Canada game dev starter pack in response to this idiotic tariff war so people can support Canada-based game devs through follows / purchases if they choose to.

Reply if you're a game dev in Canada and you want to be on it. Please repost. Thanks!
