A year ago, we released Spiral's demo to the public. Yes, a year already! Our goal with the demo was to show our vision for the game and give a starting point to open the discussion about Spiral and its subject. The demo's reception made our hearts sore! Now a year later, we are still hard at work on the game and are making progress on many fronts (if you missed it, we had a playtest session a…
Hello Everyone! A few weeks ago, we were invited to apply to Indie Cup Canada, an event that aims to showcase indie games from all around Canada, and we did so because, why not?
