Lately, @thehandeyesociety.bsky.social has been collaborating a bit with Ubisoft Toronto and we got a tour of their studio recently.
We saw a lot of cool stuff, but what was really cool is we got to take photos with some of their Mocap Gear!
The things I get to do for this job... :D
We've been a bit quiet on this side working on our upcoming showcase. But never fear! We're getting all dressed up and ready to celebrate Women's History Month in Style!
Stay tuned for more deets coming atcha soon!

It sure would be ghastly if people in Toronto who make games got together at a bar and showed each other how cool their new project that's coming along is or whatever.
Well anyway, lets look at the old poster board--
Oh no...
Ohhhhh no!
OH NO!
Why didn't you tell me Dirty Rectangles was tomorrow!
Less than a week away now...
JUST SIX DAYS
until a return to normalcy--A RETURN TO SANITY!
Feb 11th WEDNESDAY!

The Hand Eye Society Ball in Toronto last month was so much fun. I loved seeing everyone dress up and play Between. To quote @thehandeyesociety.bsky.social - absolute chaos and joy! More photos coming soon.
So happy to have you!๐
Just a small end of the year update: Iโve joined the @thehandeyesociety.bsky.social board of directors!
It has been such an incredible cultural institution in Toronto for many years, and Iโm looking forward to supporting them in the coming years.
