Her current projects include Colt, a western serial, Knights of Shadow, starring a Halifax based vigilante, and upcoming graphic novel The Ghost Army of Atlantis, written by comics newcomer Kevin O’Shea.

Based in Halifax Nova Scotia, Duneworld Games consists of 5 artists and programmers. The group initially met at Global Game Jam 2014 hosted by Volta. After the jam, they went on to form the Duneworld Collective, with a focus on developing experimental games. Duneworld uses short time frames through self imposed one month deadlines and local game jams to test out ideas. This development process has allowed Duneworld to create 8 games over a 2 year period, often gaining website features, articles in the press, and many Let’s Play videos.

Duneworld added, “Our current goal is to get Over My Dead Body (For You) out on commercial platforms such as Steam and Wii U. The game was based on a previous prototype turned into a bigger more polished game based on feedback.”

Geeks versus Nerds is the debate-style comedy show that explores topics that no one else has the “guts, tenacity, or interest to debate”. What started as a living room podcast hosted by Andrew “Pigmonkey” Dorfman, Geeks versus Nerds (GvN) has grown into the award winning monthly comedy night and podcast that both local and international fans love. GvN proudly holds several of The Coast’s Best Of Awards and a die-hard monthly audience. While its roots are in the likes of Captain Kirk and Iron Man the show’s broad appeal lies in its pop culture references, audience participation, and a wide range of wacky cast and characters. Geeks Versus Nerds aims to debate the important questions of our time as shown by recent match-ups, including Hydra vs. Death Eaters: Who would run the better summer camp? Or Aquaman vs. Peter Pan: Who is better equipped to deal with the threat of piracy? Recently surpassing the thousand-follower benchmark on Twitter, GvN will continue to answer the important questions of our time for years to come.   www.geeksversusnerds.com
