Wishlist These Upcoming Canadian Games:
Industries of Titan from Brace Yourself Games (@BYG_Vancouver) in Vancouver, BC. Wishlist on Epic Game Store, Steam + Other platforms TBD. “Create a sprawling industrial city. Compete with the other Great Houses of Titan for resources, territory, and power. Do battle with ships, technology, influence, or the sheer productive power of your factories. Stake your claim to the Industries of Titan in this innovative sim/strategy game!”
The Crimson Diamond from Julia Minamata (@JuliaMinamata). Wishlist on Steam. “Follow amateur geologist and reluctant detective Nancy Maple to the fictional ghost town of Crimson, Ontario to investigate the discovery of a massive diamond in this retro-inspired, EGA text parser mystery adventure!”
Super Rocket Ride from Cosmocat (@cosmocatgames) in Dartmouth, NS and Unruly Games (@UnrulyGames) in Ho-Chi-Minh, Vietnam. Wishlist now on Steam. “It can best be described as a cross between old school lander games and classic platformers of the SNES era: a simple control scheme, lush pixel art, and unforgiving levels fraught with obstacles and hazards.”
Try These Vintage Canadian Indies:
@StephanReilly’s Pick: Crypt of the Necrodancer - April 23, 2015 on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, iOS, Xbox One, Microsoft Windows, Linux, Macintosh operating systems, PlayStation Vita - “Crypt of the NecroDancer is a roguelike rhythm video game developed and published by Canadian independent game studio Brace Yourself Games. The game takes fundamental elements of a roguelike dungeon exploration game, and adds a beat-matching rhythm game set to an original soundtrack written by Danny Baranowsky.”
@StephenLCrane’s Pick: Super Timeforce Ultra - May 14th, 2014 Xbox One, Xbox 360 - later to PC, PS4, PSVita, OS, Linux - "Super Time Force Ultra is an insane platformer filled with robots and dinosaurs and fun and time travel... sometimes all at the same time!"
