From Mount Royal Game Society (@societeludique):

Slowly but surely, September is creeping up on us, ready to sucker-punch the summer wind right out of out lungs. We say: to heck with that! Let’s ring the month in with awesome friends, good beer, and excellent indie games! Cranky ol’ September will have no choice but to crack a smile and join in the merriment. Yes: it is time for a MEETUP.

WHEN: Wednesday, September 1, 7:00 pm

WHERE: Brasserie Artisanale l’Amère à Boire, 2049 rue Saint-Denis, 3rd floor

WHO: Anyone interested in creating games! As always, musicians, artists, designers, coders, and aspiring game-makers of all feathers are welcome!

This month, we’ll be doing a demo of some accessible but powerful game creation utilities. There are plenty of great tools for making games that don’t require any prior programming knowledge — perfect if you’re burning to make a game on your own but don’t know how to start, or are just curious to get your feet wet. Approaches, alternatives and secret cheat codes will also be discussed. Let’s get game-makin’!

From NextMontreal:

Edovia is a small iPhone app developer in Montreal. Luc Vandal, owner of the company, has been developing for the App Store since the very beginning in 2008.

Recently, one of his apps, the game Warships, hit 1,000,000 downloads. That’s a significant accomplishment. I don’t know of any other app developer in Montreal that can make that claim. Luc wrote a fantastic post about it here: 1,000,000 downloads for Warships! What’s interesting about it (beyond the cool accomplishment) is how Luc got there, playing with pricing (the app is free, but wasn’t always so) and how much he shares about the experience. […]

From Big Download:

2008’s release of developer/publisher Ubisoft’s open world first person shooter Far Cry 2 was met with praise from critics and solid sales. Even before the game was released there was talk of making Far Cry 3. Now a new rumor from the pages of PC Gamer’s latest print magazine suggests that Far Cry 3 is in full production mode.

The magazine, in its rumor-filled Spy column, states that the game is "in full swing now" at Ubisoft’s Montreal studios. According to the article the game’s development is being lead by Josh Mosqueira, who previously worked over at Relic Entertainment as the lead designer for Company of Heroes. There’s no word on what the game might be about although previous suggestions about Far Cry 3 stated the game would stick to Far Cry 2’s African setting.
