Toronto GameDev: Sago Sago
/Do you have a young son or daughter? Perhaps a niece or nephew, or family friend? You might want to check out Sago Sago, who specialize in apps designed for children (the characters are really cute).
Sago Sago creates magical mobile apps for children. We create software that builds on children's natural sense of curiosity, experimentation and self-expression. We believe young children learn best through experimentation and exploration rather than instruction and assessment. Our passion is for creating open-ended play experiences that give children a sense of mastery and ownership.
If you got young children in your life, I'd recommend checking our Sago Sago. They are also hiring for lots of different jobs as well.
Toronto GameDev: XMG Studios
/Here is another "FYI: Check out this developer" - XMG Studios! This Toronto Developer has created lots of games on mobile devices including Cows vs Aliens, and Dragonwood Academy.
Coming up, XMG Studios has Project Giants:
In a world where all emotions have been forgotten, we must brave an ever-evolving environment to reclaim what it truly means to be alive. Witness a desolate, barren world blossom into a verdant utopia of colour and life. The unique art style marries geometric forms, painterly textures, and a dash of Futurism for a truly breathtaking visual experience.

N++ Video - Enemy Spotlight: Deathball
/Late last month I wrote about how N++ is close to coming out. It looks like promotion might be ramping up, as PlayStation posted the following video showing off the Deathball in N++. It does appear to be a ball that causes death, so the name is pretty appropriate.
I am so excited for this game, and it can't come soon enough. Make sure you follow the developer on Twitter.
