Wow, March Got Here So Quickly Newsletter
I know y’all are busy getting rings or whatever in Elden Ring, but check this–Hand Eye Society is hard at work making the next thing…a thing! We’re so happy and excited to be working on our next festival and we can’t wait to share for news and information on ways you can participate and volunteer! I’m calling it! 2022 is now our year! You can’t take it back from us! It’s ours!
Anyway, have a great month! Stay safe out there!
We would love to welcome everyone to our official Hand Eye Society Discord channel!
Note: Events may be cancelled, or change form, like a transformer, or like a popsicle in the sun.
Don’t forget, there’s Google Calendar, in which you can check out all of the events here in one handy, downloadable place!
You can also submit news about Toronto/GTA games and events to calendar@handeyesociety.com at any time before the month in which the event takes place (preferably with a week to spare), post to our Facebook Group (as long as it’s relevant to local games/playful media and doesn’t violate our Code of Conduct), or @ us on Twitter for a RT.

Jam3 is hiring for many roles right now but we’re always looking for good developers, from junior on up. We are a design/experience agency, but often end up game-adjacent: we internally developed East of the Rockies and an unannounced project; and we often do award winning sites for things like Medal of Honor. If you’re looking to apply, email mike.nowak@jam3.com and mention HES.
