Announcing RimWorld - Odyssey and the 1.6 update! In Odyssey, you build a gravship and travel across the planet and beyond! Launch into orbit, where an ancient machine mind stirs.
Rimworld is a game created by Ludeon Studios, founded by Canadian game dev Tynan Sylvester and worked on by various international game devs. Tynan currently works from Ottawa, although the studio itself is based in New York. ---
Really excited to see everything being added to the game! This DLC looks really sick! I've been really busy lately, but I may make time to make a spotlight post about Rimworld, since it is my personal favourite game and is pertinent to the topic of Canadian Gaming.
- Reggie - Aneurism IV - "Anuerism IV: Burn Bodies, Steal Laundry, Become Proletariat" [35:56]
The Content Creator:
Reggie is a rapidly growing Canadian content creator whose content has a focus on absurdist humour with a ting of edge to it. Definitely not everyone's cup of tea but his aesthetic of narrative and humourous editing has gained quite a bit of popularity and is trending with other similar creators. If you enjoy rough & dark humour and much like me probably have attention deficit problem, I heavily recommend Reggie. --- The Game:
Aneurism IV is a game created by Vellocet, based in Montreal, Quebec. It is, as described by the studio, "An immersive multiplayer industrial nightmare simulator". The game clearly takes great inspiration from dystopian tropes (as hinted by the studios name, Vellocet, which is a drug from the dystopian 1971 A Clockwork Orange novel.) and, from my own interpretation, gmod roleplaying servers. The charm of the game appears to hinge on the chaos of multiplayer roleplaying intersecting with a parody of common dystopian tropes of gore and brutalism.
The game is currently available on steam for $12.99 CAD. It is the first and only game created by Vellocet and is still being supported with updates and a active multiplayer community of around 1,000 in-game per day.

- GameStop Canada to be rebranded EB Games after acquisition by Quebec toymaker | cbc.ca
Exciting to see where the new owners take this. Was bought by "Electronics Boutique Canada Inc." and will be now called EB Games Canada... again.
The below article has more brief history regarding the personality and history of the new owner. Seems like selling toys might be a bigger focus rather than selling physical games -- but truthfully that was a dying aspect of the business anyways, everything being digital now and what not.

But hey, it is fully Canadian owned and operated now. That is something at least.
