Ep 183 - Pikmin Cults & So Many Nindies

Support Indigenous movements across this land: Land Back Lane in Ontario, Wet'suwet'en in British Columbia & Mi’kmaq in Nova Scotia. Watch Night of the Indigenous Devs up now on YouTube!

Watch our interview from last year with Meagan Byrne from Achimostawinan Games.

Overview:

Nindies from Canada are coming to Switch! FEZ, art of rally, ENDER LILIES: Quietus of the Knights and the eagerly anticipated TMNT: Shredder's Revenge are all flipping the Switch presently. Some other Canadian indies are making the jump (or kickflip?) to new platforms and we break down a massive indie Kickstarter success in Worship, the Pikmin-esque cultist game. Steve and Stephan also place a gentleman's wager on the Resident Evil character coming to Dead By Daylight.
