#ontarioartscouncil also helped me hire the amazing Brooklynn Whidden (brooklynnwhidden.wordpress.com) on musical composition, and Mary Verhoeven @sobcomix.bsky.social collaborating on backgrounds.

And thank you to @thehandeyesociety.bsky.social for coming across my unreleased (and still technically unfinished game) and liking it so much they encouraged me to release it a little early - don't worry, you can experience the whole adventure RIGHT NOW, just at break-neck speed.

I'm so happy the arts council supported my ranting-through-game-design, and I hope that people playing the game are similarly radicalized to push back against these threats when they surface. Rats and giants (and us) need stable homes if we're going to save up for a car, Doug.

While the market here is inching towards affordability, the recent rent control drama proves our housing can be destabilized, even us lucky enough to already have housing. (Had it gone through, our protagonists plan to secure a lease would have become even dumber than it already was.)

Back in 2022 I was incredibly honoured to receive funding through the #ontarioartscouncil to produce this creepy little game about how terrifying it can be to rent in Toronto. #ontario #ArtsAddValue

Help our dual protagonists secure a rental agreement on an awful Annex apartment, by any means possible - in this case, the means are (justifiably) blackmailing a landlord, and (somewhat cruelly) sabotaging your competitors.

Thank you! ❤️

Today I am all bundled up, but I think I will need to switch indoors for a bit. My fingers are beginning to ache from the cold!

This technique is also great for forcing you to finally fixing all the bugs in syncing you paper and citation manager between computers.

Oh wow, this is so beautiful!
