Interview: How Canvas City Makes Skating Work as a Tactics Game
Roller skating and turn-based tactics seem like an odd combination. That combination, however, is what makes Canvas City interesting. The game takes the movement and freedom of skating and puts it into a tactical system built around turns, abilities, rails, and ramps. To make those two sides work together, Disc 2 Games had to rethink…
