Hi all. I'm a new poster here, though I've been trying to keep up with the community for some time. I'm an illustrator and web designer from Toronto, Canada, and have been making independent games for a year or so. I'm a member of the
Hand Eye Society here in Toronto, along with some game developers you've actually heard about. I was also the art director for a time over at
The Gamer's Quarter.My first title, such as it is, was
The Office Party in 2008's
TO Jam here in Toronto. Then, at Jim Munroe's
Artsy Game Incubator last fall I created
Snow. Snow is a point-and-click adventure game about a young woman named Dana going to work here on Queen Street West in Toronto. It's based on a
graphic novel I began late last summer, but it's not a big, heavy-handed adventure game or anything like that. Rather, it's a sort of time capsule of this particular area of Toronto in a particular time; namely, winter 2008.
Destructoid just ran an article on the game today, and I really think they captured what it's all about.
The game is technically a beta (there are still a few bugs) but it's a complete experience as-is. The game can be
downloaded from my website and run on any Windows XP or Vista machine.
I'd love to hear people's opinions on the game, so if you have the 15 minutes you'll need to complete it once (there are different ways to play the game), post away and let me know what you think.
