May Mixer 2021!

Hello, game dev enthusiasts! Our next mixer will be held on May 15th (this Saturday) from 2pm to 4pm on our Discord. This is a good opportunity to show any work-in-progress projects you’ve been working on! We will also be having a more open and freeform discussion of Slay the Spire, since we didn’t get an opportunity to do that at the last mixer.

As such, the Game of the Month will once again be Slay the Spire, which you can get at multiple stores and on numerous platforms! Here’s the Steam link to learn more about it:
