Such a cool event, thanks for having Cute Patoots!

Last week @matt.sub-zerosound.com and myself hosted our 4th annual Indie BYOG Showcase @GDC! Sponsored by @massivemonster.bsky.social & Cam Rogers Legal.

We had over 25 games showcasing and many many people through the door! Thank you everyone who came and made the event what it was ❤️

A video game ad referencing the late 90s wacky-pomo and corporate-grunge style. It shows a group of 5 disheveld "teenagers with attitude" with shocked, sooty faces as if they were just involved in an explosion. An SNES-like game cartridge for the game "Cute Patoots" is shown in the middle, with a block of text underneath reading "It's a BLAST. Literally. find out for yourself. 4th annual indie BYOG @ GDC2026. BuzzWorks - Wednesday, March 11 at 6 pm."

Tonight! Come check out the action packed Cute Patoots demo at the 4th Annual Indie BYOG @ GDC event!

So much fresh snow! Seems like rolling up a snow friend can get a little messy... but it's OK!

From Patoots to all of you, wishing Happy Holidays!

Uh-oh! Patoots ended up at some dead-end club? And what's with this waddling bone thing?
