Care for a cracker? ✨️

We always make sure our employees are provided with an adequate amount of nutrition. Keep up the good work and you might get some water too!

SOUND ON! 🔊

Sometimes game development is implementing a dialogue system, and sometimes it's creating a 0.1 second audio clip and looping it hundreds of times to test the dialogue sounds.

Boss Gleeble is a fun example of work spanning disciplines!

It's time you finally got rewarded for all your hard work! One of the new features being worked on at #DAREAcademy is unique ending sequences based on how well you perform. 📦

Can you guess which ending this is from...? 👽✨️

Watch out! A Gleeble found his way into the studio and messed around with our music! 😅

It seems like he wants to brighten up the post office for the next human who comes by though, so maybe we can let him sing a little longer… 🎶

At #DAREAcademy we're working on giving our mechanics more interaction and visual feedback to add to the analogue feel of the post office.

Here's a first look at a concept for our new and improved parcel scanning! 📦👀
