Disc 2 Games, a New Zealand developer supported by Black Salt Games (DREDGE), exhibited Canvas City at BitSummit PUNCH from May 22 to May 24, 2026. The simulation RPG puts players in control of the Roller Bakers, a skate team fighting to reclaim a city where creative expression has been suppressed. Combat uses a turn-order system where units spend MOV to move and SP to attack, but ramps and lanes on the map let characters perform skate tricks that restore those resources. Graffiti spots function as territory points: painting them raises the team's starting SP, while enemies can paint over them. A staff member said the full version will include a gacha system for equippable skills and that a Steam demo is planned to gather feedback before release.
