It was so fun to attend the Video Game Arts Appreciate Night at the @agotoronto.bsky.social this past weekend!

It was so great to get to talk with ALTTL fans, amazing Canadian devs, arts supporters and those who are video game curious.

TY to @jimmunroe.net and Nathan Huisman for inviting us!

Umm, ALTTL somehow just hit a new all-time high for concurrent players some 3ish years after launch?!

We don't know what's going on... 🥸

@derek-lieu.com's "eye trace" revelation: Cozy games often have better visual flow than action games 👀

Invisible improvements keep viewers engaged without them realising why.

Watch A Little To The Left's trailer. Notice the flow.

We had the fortune of chatting over breakfast about our fav puzzle games with the wonderful PapaPupp and Pokie during their holiday to our hometown!

PapaPupp has shared his love of ALTTL from the very start, and gifted us this beautiful gem from his collection! ✨💎✨

This is one of the 3 new levels included in the newly released Packed Update for A Little to the Left!

Find a spot for that mint, those old worn toothbrushes, or all-season glow-in-the-dark vampire teeth!

We're a little melancholic to release this last update for A Little to the Left. We're moving house and feel it's time to move onto new projects too, and we wanted to give ALTTL the send off it deserves.

TYSM for sharing your love, it's been truly special ❤️

Happy to say that I had two pieces of work selected for inclusion in the 2025 Applied Arts Illustration Awards! The first selection was this cosmic key art that I made for A Little to the Left - Seeing Stars, (@maxinfernogames.bsky.social) and it was one of my favourite projects of the last year!
Key art for the video game A Little to the Left, showing an illustrated cosmic scene, with large gas clouds forming the shapes of four cats in various poses. Stars, galaxies, black holes, comets and nebulae fill the the space, and many objects float in the void, including a red cassette tape, a small potted cactus, ceramic bell, folding pocket knife, a small key, coffee mug and more. A large planed in the background, upon closer inspection is a giant ball of red yarn, with a loose strand flowing into space. In the centre of the image is the text "A Little to the Left" and underneath it in smaller text "Seeing Stars". In the top left hand corner is the logo for the Applied Arts Magazine Illustration Awards, which is an impossible triangular shape made of interlocking capital letter As, in red, yellow, cyan and blue.
