Canadians could be in for another beautiful display of the northern lights tonight, as the sun unleashed several fast-moving particles in the Earth's direction over the past couple of days.

Congrats to our friends at @unknownworlds.bsky.social on the Early Access launch of Subnautica 2! We can't wait to dive in and experience the latest version of @subnautica.bsky.social. (Also, thanks for launching so @blackfrostgame.bsky.social can bump up 1 rank in the Steam global wishlists!)
VERY excited to share this big project. Many games are made in Canada, but few are *set* here. So, I spoke to 20+ devs who have been making all kinds of games that take place in Canada. From showcasing stunning landscapes to telling diverse stories, these games paint a vivid portrait of Canada. 🍁
Canada rarely gets to play itself -- these games are changing that
From showcasing stunning geography to telling diverse stories, here's how developers are representing Canada in their games.

Love checking out the mementos in homes we visit; a small window into the owners lives & interests. Episode 5 of WINTERMUTE added more. This caught my attention. Simple but striking. A trillium possibly? Native to Vancouver Island (Great Bear Island in-game). Gorgeous. @thelongdark.bsky.social

Just finished @thelongdark.bsky.social Ep 5, and I'm gonna say it. It was everything I've been waiting 13 years for. Such a beautiful and tragic conclusion. @raphlife.bsky.social did an amazing job with the ending, the entire cast outdid themselves. It's a surreal feeling to finally be at the end.
PSA: The official Hinterland forums will be down for maintenance at 1:30PM Pacific time. Expected downtime is about 10 minutes.
