Here is the link to a video of the gameplay:
Description: Vanguard is a 3D real-time strategy game focused on recreating authentic historical battles. The player takes on the role of the commander of one of the warring armies and must deal with the same resources and conditions that were available at the time. The player is able to discover, understand and interact with the major events that shaped the outcome of the chosen battle.
Avant-Garde is currently in the prototyping phase. It is possible to try the prototype on Itch.io .
Add Vanguard to your Steam wishlist , there’s no better way to be a part of its success.

Citadrill
Game Description: A city in a drill? It’s more likely than you think… Take care of your moving colony by drilling, building, and making important decisions about how to spend resources. (Do you really need that extra oxygen, or should you save resources for a fancy cannon?) Tinker with systems, die a lot, and take different approaches in this hybrid city-builder-slash-keep-everybody-alive roguelike.
Brief biography of the studio: Studio Moka is an independent team in which almost everyone owns at least one cat. Behind every successful game developer, there is at least one cat… Isn’t it? Citadrill is our first game together, born out of the love of systems, tinkering, and death.

Project Corvus
Floppy Goat is a young Montreal studio made up of veterans of the video game industry. It was in February 2024 that we initiated our first project under the code name [PROJECT CORVUS].
Driven by our passion and know-how, we want to offer players a unique experience. Mixing the intensity of the “Souls” fights and the incredible variety of gameplay offered by the Roguelites, [PROJECT CORVUS] wants to offer digestible, intense and continuously renewed gaming sessions.
Imagine a game that offers the depth and feel of Dark Souls combat, in a Hades-like gameplay loop, where you must take advantage of the multitude of opportunities offered to you to defeat ever tougher enemies. Gaining experience and scaling choices, benefits that alter your gameplay, equipment and various items, will be your weapons to overcome the challenges that await you.
However, we will have to wait a little longer before we reveal more about the project. Currently at the end of prototyping, we want to be able to bring [PROJECT CORVUS] very soon to a few selected players in order to refine our prototype and offer the best possible gaming experience.
You can register for the closed beta here.
A big thank you to everyone for participating in the event. Follow our news to find out the date of the next event.
