Overview:

We're joined by Calgary-based indie game developer Tony Munoz (@tonymmakesgames) to talk about his pixel art platformer Last Soul which recently landed a publisher (congrats!) and is launching a Kickstarter campaign soon to help with the last stretch of development.

Tony joins Stephan to discuss a slew of new Canadian releases, a second Gearbox studio opens in Québec, dates for a couple of upcoming high profile indies and more! We also get into Tony's work as an indie game dev, lessons learned and ambitions for Last Soul
