Steve would like to show you his favourite rock. Thanks, Steve. It's a great rock.

Why are you like this, Steve?

Today is World Otter Day! Today, we thank otters for being our muse for Otter Half and encourage you to pet...what?...oh?....sorry, this just in, do NOT pet otters ✋🏻🚫🦦 appreciate otters from afar and support your local wildlife conservation efforts to protect otters' homes ☺️

Asian Heritage Month has been incredible to witness this year. Huge love to Chung Ta Cung Nhau, FascinAsian Edmonton, and FascinAsian Calgary for the impact they’ve made across Alberta and beyond. We as a community can continue supporting Asian artists, creators, and developers year-round.

We recently found out that we're on a list of other cool co-ops in the games industry including the @aftermath.site folks which is rad as hell. If that's how you found us, we're a worker co-op based out of YEG (and one YUL) who will be posting A LOT about our game, Otter Half: Your Hand in Mine!

Here is small otter. He is so small he’s probably still learning how to otter properly.
