What’re we…

Canadian Game Devs is a community of Canadian (and international) game developers, creators, fans and gamers (self-identified or not) who gathered around this site covering the games made in Canada and the people behind them.

A Brief History

Started as TorontoGameDevs.com in 2015 by avid gamer Stephen ‘Steve’ Crane (based in Toronto at the time), the site grew in popularity as people wanted coverage of games made in Toronto and specifically used the list of studios based in the city.

This spurned the creation of our Patreon for fans to support the site, as well as the creation of our Discord community that’s grown to over 4000 developers strong.

In 2018 Steve rebranded the site CanadianGameDevs.com to expand our coverage to all Canadian games and cataloguing all Canadian studios.

In 2019 Steve was expecting his first child and wanted to split the site 50/50 with someone to keep it alive. That person was also, unfortunately, named Stephan (pronounced Steven) so we go by Stephan and Steve to still confuse people.

Since then we’ve grown the site to cover hundreds of games made in Canada and talk to the folks who create them, interviewing the award-winning devs behind Canadian hits like Tunic, Watch_Dogs Legion, Floor Kids, A Short Hike, Curved Space and dozens more.

We attend gaming conventions across Canada and the world playing games and taking names. Join our Discord and chat, show us your game- get involved in your Canadian game dev community <3
