Jennifer Hale once told me Canadians need to champion ourselves more. I wholeheartedly agree. Over the past few months, I reached out to dozens of Canadian devs to learn their favourite Canadian games. Their varied responses offer a wonderful spotlight on some of the incredible talent we have here.🍁

These are must-play Canadian games, according to Canadian devs

As Canadians, we don't champion ourselves enough, so we asked dozens of game developers to do just that.

it is btw. anything that is capable of existing with the intent of altering ur emotional state, and that goal being achieved differently depending on the person because of difference in life experiences is art in my eyes. anyone trying to loudly convince u otherwise should be immediately distrusted

i think one big factor (among many) as to why AI has had such a foothold in coding spaces is because the majority of people dont consider programming to be art

My cover art for @monstrosaband.bsky.social 's new single "MANDIBLE" That I CANNOT WAIT for you to hear 😭💚 events.leapevents.com/event/monstr...

A mostly green illustration of a woman grabbing her jaw. Her head it tilted all the way back and her jaw a skeleton with pointy teeth multiplying into 4 jaws as it tilts. I'm having trouble describing this. The 3rd jaw bone is red and forms the L in the title MANDIBLE.

I adored @capycastaway.com from Toronto's @kittencupstudio.bsky.social. The art style is delightful, the animal interactions are adorable and the wonderfully cozy vibes were much-needed. But above all else, it was genuinely lovely to see how much of Toronto and Canada as a whole is in the game. 🍁

Toronto-made Capy Castaway is a joyous tribute to wildlife and Canadiana

The cozy game amusingly draws inspiration from Toronto's infamous Bonnie and Clyde capybara escape, but its charms extend well beyond that.

Day 6 of drawin a lil doodle every day to promote our game @capycastaway.com launching August 6th but I cheated A LITTLE (or was I INSPIRED??) by this swole Corvi I drew during a meeting & someone asked 'how is Corvi able to physically carry Capy??' the answer is GAINS and ANIME #art #devdoodle

On the bottom is a muscley Corvi flexing their beefy wings and sporting a 6 pack, saying 'never skip leg day, capy'. Beside that is a doodle of Corvi with a protein porder container over their head that reads WHEY. Above these are two VERY ANIME doodles of Corvi, one where Corvi is holding a rose in their mouth with rose petals fluttering about, and another, almost unrecognizable elongated Corvi and the words 'IF CAPY CASTAWAY WAS ANIME' beside it.

You’re going to start seeing more and more of this. These people are seeing the writing on the wall for the most unpopular President of the modern era, and they are going to try and distance themselves from it. However, few have had a more damaging role than Musk, and he should never live it down.
