Rollers of the Realm: Reunion

Rollers of the Realm 2 at IndieCup Celebration!

Hey there Realm Rollers!

In 2022, the IndieCup team introduced IndieCup Canada, IndieCup Germany, and IndieCup Ukraine all while bringing support and awareness to the events occurring in their home country:

"Indie Cup’s team lives in Ukraine. The war forced each of us to change our plans — today we’re not only organizing a contest, but also volunteering, donating money, donating blood, building dugouts and helping our loved ones escape from the war. Some of us cannot return to Ukraine, and some took a break from work to defend our country at the frontlines." - indiecup.net

We're extremely humbled by their efforts and thankful to be a part of their Steam event. We hope you all get a chance to check out the event page and show a little extra support to the devs from Ukraine.

Thanks,
Phantom Compass team
