After moving away from Toronto 8 years ago, it's really special to bring something I've been so passionate about, back to the city! These indie game community events have been so much fun and so rewarding to host. Hope to see you in TO!

The Crane Rider's Tale is a queer Chinese fantasy game where you fly passengers around a medieval town... but there's a serial killer among them! Our campaign ends on May 28th, which means there's less than 72 hours left to back it!!

Each of these 2025 moments were with friends that I met through games. Launched a new publishing label, hosted events for local developers, and was lucky enough to visit 5 continents along the way. Coming up on 5 years in games and many more to come 🤞 📸 @commacomrade.bsky.social

Sitting on the sidewalk in tears rn reading the messages from so many people who Narayana touched with his music and his kindness. Whenever I had a chance to spend time with him, he brought warmth and light. That light will shine in our memories and his art, forever.

My Birthday today is also the 4th anniversary of leaving my job as a tax accountant to pursue my dream of working in games! From crying after being let go to quitting a job after 2 months, things could have gone very differently along the way. I am so thankful to everyone who took a chance on me 💜

I got Plucky at The Game Awards! I can't thank @jamesturner.bsky.social, Bidds, and All Possible Futures enough for trusting me with their studio's voice this year. You made something very special and I'm glad that so many others thought so as well!
