This week on Quest Quest: @bvigeant.bsky.social and I discuss "bad" ideas from the history of adventure games that are overdue for a comeback. Will we make an impassioned plea to add more mazes to modern adventures? No, we will not. Listen here (or wherever): zencastr.com/z/05Jo2Zli

What the… apparently Brad Bradford blocked me on Instagram?!

Braeden Chow!

Here we go!

I can only assume this means Gong has taken it all…

@greyalien.bsky.social @slicknicklives.bsky.social Folks... you're killing me. I've got things to do... Also, congrats!

I appreciate that people want a new Mass Effect, but the future where fans advocate for the work itself and not the people who make it is the one the vultures at EA want. If you'll take it however you get it, they can keep treating people who make what you love as expendable.

After 1.5 years of pouring my heart into my very first game, I'm so excited to finally announce that... Drawquarium is coming to Steam on November 13! 🥹 Draw your own fish, bring them to life, and create your little underwater world, even as a live wallpaper! Like+RT = ♥️ #IndieGames #Cozygames

Please go vote, Toronto pals! I'd love for me and my family to live in a city and not a playground for the rich / living slush fund for all of Doug Ford's construction and developer buddies!

RIP

Mass Effect was my ultimate white whale, my all-time dream project. For the last couple years I'd been in discussion w/ BioWare & EA to take on the project & as part of that I wrote close to 20 minutes of music to explore where the franchise can go next, may as well share it!

For science: any of you seeing Curse of Resthaven pop up in your Steam personal calendar?

My pal Danielle Koenig shared that her father Walter Koenig passed away last night at age 90. A performer whose kindness and warmth shone through the screen. He will be well remembered.

RIP Eric Bauza, one of the greatest of all time. Did almost every single one of those voices in Coyote vs Acme. Someone who clearly loved these characters so much that he wasn't just doing Mel Blanc, he made them his own.

What makes this hurt even harder is the fact that he knew it was that strong. He was the first, and arguably the most vigilant in keeping this movie alive. He truly cared and loved the work he was a part of. The animation industry has lost not only a good client, but a true supporter of the arts.

Just saw on Instagram that Eric Bauza, the Canadian voice of countless Looney Tunes characters, has suddenly passed away. This one really hurts. He was so lovely and talented, and knowing he came from Toronto — and even meeting him at local events — meant a lot. RIP.

attended a sold out screening of You Can See Everything in suburban Toronto last night, in which the crowd erupted into huge applause when the credits rolled. Have rarely experienced that outside of film fests / curated rep cinema screenings, let alone for a doc at a multiplex in deep Scarborough.

ICYMI... A Fold Apart: Recrafted is coming November 24th!

Love puzzle games but don't like getting stuck? If you're stumped, A Fold Apart: Recrafted can show you the solution one step at a time 🧩 #indiedev #puzzlegame #screenshotsaturday

A whole game world before your very eyes... Koholint Island, mapped out across a page-and-a-half. It's always neat too see game worlds in older games shown like this, an interconnected environment. 📖: Planet Game Boy, June 1999

No matter how far apart two people are, there's always a way to get on the same page. A Fold Apart: Recrafted unfolds November 24 ❤️📃 #indiedev #puzzlegame #screenshotsaturday

I was asked how Next Fest is going, given all the issues being discussed this time around. It's going well, and I'm thrilled to be part of it. But there are also some unprecedented challenges this time around. I tried to be diplomatic, but honest. thegamerztheory.com/article/2026...

the fact that he refers to these teams as "good guys" and not people says a lot.

Incredibly cool indie gem from Toronto's @playhilltop.bsky.social coming *one week* today!

25 years ago, Canadarm2 cemented Canada’s role in the International Space Station. On this episode, astronaut Scott Parazynski and CanadianSpace Agency flight controller Timothy Braithwaite take us behind the scenes of this landmark mission. 🎧 Listen: lnkfi.re/canadian-tim...

This is a huge bummer!

Dang.

Hey #PortfolioDay! I'm a 3D animator with a love for animating dynamic characters and cameras. Got a new highlight reel of a handful of stuff I've worked on over the years!

RIP Richard Riehle. The American character actor was in Office Space, Bridesmaids, Casino, Quantum Leap, The Fugitive. Richard Riehle has also appeared in several Star Trek series (TNG, Voyager, Enterprise), The Man From Earth (2007), and Wing Commander IV: The Price of Freedom (1996). He was 78.

Infested DX, a Callback to Classic DOS Horror Graphic Adventures, Is Coming to Steam Next Week

Absolute old head fodder, but also a pretty good entry point to share a classic style FF games with my daughter. Was already pretty sold by the demo, but this is the first time I've been excited about a Final Fantasy game in like... a decade?

Come join me this friday at Eyesore cinema for a showing of Spook Warfare for Kaiju Video Club!
