Towards Publication - 09/05/2010 - We have bee working closely with a publisher toward the goal of getting our first two games into store shelves. Stay tuned for more information, and news of a name change for The Wasteland Days (yeah, I know, we do seem to like those).
Game Summit 2010 - 06/17/2010 - We had a great time at the 2010 Game Summit, here in Ottawa. We met some great people, played a number of new games (and some old favourites), and even got some testing done for Crystal Core. So far so good, and we will continue to test, tweak, and improve the game until it is just right. If you live in Ottawa and would like to try it out, contact us and we would be more than happy to get a test session with you!
