This event is such a ray of goodness in our world.

My chibi-artist and I had a great time visiting and hope to run our own booth there next year.

It was great seeing so many inspired, creative games at #vancouvergamegarden today. It's running tomorrow as well. There are some game dev talks in the theatre as well. Well worth checking out. And it's FREE!

Besides @vangamegarden.bsky.social today, it's also the 7th year anniversary of our previous game, Wandersong! 🎉

We actually designed Deluja after the sky seals in Act 6 of Wandersong, and they would absolutely be on the team of the main character, the Bard! 🦭

Phew, had a packed day at @vangamegarden.bsky.social which was overgrown with friendly faces, incredible artistry and an inspiring sense of community. Was fascinating to see several designs from last year's garden evolve and a diverse range of new creations.
