Saskatoon-based game studio (and RAIS grads) Sour Circuit Studios brought their new game Shuffles 'n Scuffles into the classroom for our Game Art & Design and 3D Animation students to test.
We’re incredibly proud of this team and the work they’ve put into building something this polished and fun.
Stay tuned for the official Steam release date coming soon.
If you want to support local indie developers add the game to your Steam wishlist.
