Our stuffed mascot game in the office is starting to shape up pretty nicely! 🧸
We love our Peridot, Turnip Boy, and Meta Llama - but our Beagle and Peter, our giant caterpillar, will always have a special place in our hearts.
Who do we need to add next?

It’s getting awfully spooky in the Petricore office… 🎃👻
We even had a visit from our skeleton friend from Mythic Realms! The weird part? No one actually knows where he came from. Sometimes he just… gets up and walks around muttering Latin backwards. Probably fine though.
Happy Halloween! 💀🕸️

After many, many attempts at submitting content for GDC with no luck, I finally had a submission accepted!
Excited to be running a roundtable next year focused around balancing work for hire alongside original IP dev as a studio!

Her video had us laughing... and blushing a bit too when she said the game “exceeded my expectations!” It's still one of our favorites!
