Haha, sorry but no. We can officially say that Anthony was cast as the Edmonton Concierge because he's an awesome local performer- not as a dig at any real person :) Like the rest of the story, we're playing with stereotypes, not personal attacks.

Though we do love the conspiracy theories!

get in babes, it's time to restore the honmoon.💅

there are things we can do to help small game creatives, including the folks formerly at Bioware.

share this on or off platform without credit. i want us to build the environment we need for games to flourish in the middle of the dumpster fire.

On a pink background with Huntrix from KPop Demon Hunters we see text that reads "How to Support Small Games Creatives."

On a pink background with text that reads "what's happening" and the headline from the New York times stating that Electronic Arts has been purchased by a group of investors from Private Equity and Private Investment Funds, including those owned by Saudi Arabia and the Kushner Family. A meme of the laugh cry kid below expresses the overwhelm of the moment.

On a pink background we see text that reads "Projects to check out: Cyberpunk 2, Malys, Skate, Exodus, Eternal Strands, Stray Gods, Last Epoch, the Concierge and Battlefield."

Of course! But thank you for the warning regardless. It’s a hard and personal choice to step into the market and wilds of the internet.

The crazy so-and-sos like us who are relying on crowd funding to see us through the winter are in constant debate about the pros and cons.

An individual’s choice

At the end of the day aren’t we all just fuckos of one breed or another?

On that note though: doesn’t Bluesky have like the follow starter pack thing? Is there an ex-BW one already?

Need more time to look into this than we’ve got at present it seems hmMMmMmMm

Noted!! Time to put that humility in our pocket and -gasp- talk about our work.

The horror.

But like legit horror sometimes. 🤔

While we all rage on EA- North Mist is a new indie games studio that nabbed Mary Kirby (Varric) and Sylvia Feketekuty (Emmrich, Josie) as writers!

They have a world building podcast (also on yt! 🔗 below), with Mary writing the first season that just wrapped up, and Sylvia's first ep just dropped!

North Mist Studios @northmiststudios.bsky.social · Jul 1

We're live, people! The wait is over!
🍁HAPPY CANADA DAY!🍁

Episode 1 of The Concierge is available on all major podcast platforms! Can't think of a better day to meet our crew of Canadian Assassins!

Hmm that’s good to know! We’re still fresh to the social media/marketing scene (and honestly still figuring it out) after so long in the dev-trenches and behind closed doors it’s easy to feel caught in headlights out here!

Been thinking about updating ye olde website with bios
