@inspectorbeans and I had a fun chat with @Jon_Ore this week about the visual/narrative weirdness of HFW! There’s still so much more work for games to better engage with underrepresented peoples and stories in ways that benefits us.

@inspectorbeans COOL

"#HillAgency is a way to 'talk about a lot of things that come up in the community that we don’t really talk about publicly' — namely, family." Meagan talked with @MobileSyrup about the game and the importance of Indigenous stories in gaming! Read: mobilesyrup.com/2022/05/16/ach…

Finally, I also recommend my game Terra Nova! Set on a post-post-apocalyptic Earth, this a 2-player co-op game about first contact. It's a fresh take on sci fi that complicates the human v alien trope in way that centres Indigenous agency. made-nous.ca/made-recommend…

Next is A Short Hike by @adamgryu! This game hits all the right notes for me: exploration, charming characters, & dynamic gameplay. The music by @Markymark665 is also SO catchy & delightful. This game is pure nostalgia & magic from start to end. made-nous.ca/made-recommend…

I am thrilled to have partnered with @made_nous to write three recommendations for their #SeekMore Games project! This collection aims to highlight diverse and underrepresented game creators in Canada. Check ‘em out!

Super guilty of pressing next during every dialogue or interaction that doesn't center around my game ✋ DON'T WAKE THE NIGHT provides a different experience in which the story and interactions of the other characters are the center of the game.
