the otter shenanigans are very whimsical today!

Now, real otters won't be visiting K Days, but ours will! Come visit us at K Days in Hall E at the Game Discovery Exhibition from July 17 - 26th to get an exclusive look at Otter Half. We'll have other otter themed activities as well, so bring your whole family for the fun!

Within you there are two otters. Both are fucked up by fbx import settings scale factor 2.

Trans people deserve to be seen, supported, and celebrated, especially for their countless contributions to the games industry. Build better spaces. Hire them. Fund them. Play their games. At IAA, we are proud to run programs/events that support marginalized communities and will continue to do so.

There is no silver bullet to fixing the games industry across Canada--including tax credits. Looking at solutions that work best for small, medium, and large scale multinational studios is key to solidifying our long term success as an ecosystem.

The Walrus@thewalrus.ca · 5mo ago

Canadian taxpayers have poured $980 million into Ubisoft since 2020, helping build a global gaming giant. As governments double down on subsidies and AI, the company’s Halifax shutdown exposes a policy gap. Journalist Isaac Peltz explores: https://thewalrus.ca/ubisoft-canada-tax-breaks-layoffs/

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.

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 ☺️

Have you heard about our new game? Come hold our hands in Otter Half, an online cute 'n cozy co-op game about otters holding hands as they travel down rivers! Make sure to head otter.game for updates and to sign up for our newsletter!

My eyebrow raises at upcoming games industry events that aren't actively critiquing the broken structures that have led to our industry's historic decline. You wanna celebrate the fools who got us into this situation? Like...my dudes. Read the room. 🤦🏻‍♂️

As Cozmonauts, we'll be spending the vernal equinox enjoying cute gameplay in our build together. That's right, they let social media into the build. Beware.

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!

But what if... otters on the moon?

Submission deadline is coming up!

International Women's Day (even when it is only 23 hours long) means a lot to our studio. We are constantly inspired by the women and gender-diverse individuals who make up the games industry that have carved a path for us to succeed where just a few years ago that would have seemed impossible.

I don’t have a bowl cut now don’t worry

AI all up in here ruining fun punctuation; but just like my dumb opinions, my semi-colons and em-dashes--and my terribly flawed use of them--are my own. 😒

This chart tells you a lot about the USA's racist policies and why they think that no one will care about Greenland's sovereignty. Disgusting.

Woah! I think we might hit the target today. Thank you so much if you've donated.

if you're not saying free palestine by now because you're worried about your career or whatever you're gonna have a lot to attone for the coming years. you are more complicit in your silence than you think, and your silence is like a shout in our oceans of privilege and safety.

Proud of @daff.space for cancelling their STREET UNI X Xbox port in solidarity with Palestinians, even though it could've been crucial for their livelihood as an indie dev. 🇵🇸 www.rockpapershotgun.com/a-culture-of...
