Sneak peek: Our devs have been hard at work, and the new 'Secret Sauce' ability is finally here.
Subtle, strategic, and game-changing.
Stay tuned for more gameplay updates.

Nothing better than writing game studio documents on a Sunday when I could be watching a really bad sci fi movie and eating.

Said no-one ever.

Cats for the win. Always. Can't believe it's "uncommon" - I think cats should always be unusual 😉

This is a cool one.

Lots of thoughts today.

1/ Gaming should be fair—for players, indie studios, and everyone in between. We’re a small team driven by the idea that #gaming can empower, not exploit. It’s time to rethink how games treat players and creators. Let’s make fairness the new norm. #gamers #indiegame

We see #Web3 as another tool in the gamer’s arsenal. Like in-game currency, it can be used for good or bad—it depends on how it’s handled. For us, Web3 is about exploring ways to give #gamers more control & enhance their experience.

I'm working on a blog post about elitism in gaming & bringing a perspective some of you might relate to. I grew up as an 'OG' gamer with a ZX Spectrum but now, I’m also a mum to gamers. Gaming has evolved, but one question still lingers: Are you even a real gamer? 🕹️

I keep staring at a spreadsheet and I swear I'm slowly going insane. I think I need a break.
No-one sees this part of it all when they buy a game😆

Might have accidentally binge watched Reginald the Vampire and Squid Games over the past two days.
No idea how that happened. 👀

One of our colleagues came up with a cool name - Ratpacino - it gives cool actor vibes. 😆

Hope everyone had a great holiday if you celebrated.
We spent time perfecting some of our characters.
Meet Coffee Rat - in game name tbd.
I thought naming kids was bad enough, trying to name over 200 characters = help us.
