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!

Take a first look at one of our new WIP mechanics, Fragile Tape!

We trust our employees to appropriately mark parcels that contain delicate items as fragile before sending.

... or mark their office as fragile too

We had the pleasure of welcoming Scottish Minister for Business Richard Lochhead this week! He took time to play our game, learn about DARE, our work at Abertay, and discuss the future of Scotland’s games industry. Thanks to Abertay for the incredible opportunity 🙏 #DAREAcademy #GameDev #Abertay

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… 🎶

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