My kids will be spreading the word about these indie games to the 3 and 6 year olds. They loved these stickers so much that I just barely managed to keep any for my own collection.

It has arrived—the very day I planned to wrap up Banner Saga with my class. But I’ll be teaching it in future years. A one-of-kind score and series. Looking forward to digging into this! @awintory.bsky.social @bannersaga.com

(I'm saw this and thought it was fun.) Introduce yourself in 4 games. I love all of these games though I wouldn't necessarily say they are my 4 favourite games of all time. But they are the games that explain how I game to be writing and teaching game music today.

The Kingston Symphony's world premiere of Traveler: A Journey Symphony by @awintory.bsky.social was just astounding. I had listened to the LSO's recording (which is incredible) but what a difference to hear it live! So special to have Wintory in attendance and willing to talk with us afterwards.
