Though we usually hide from the sun behind our screens - busy grooming Scratch the Cat here at the FlatPonies stables - we’ll soon be opening the stable doors to gallop into the summer sun. We promise not to stall for too long; we’ll be back in August with exciting news and fresh updates. Before we trot off to frolic, here is a quick look at what we've been up to throughout May and June! Copenh…
Debug & Deploy: How player data is sharpening Scratch’s moves Software, much like a cat, is constantly adapting to its environment.

And that’s not all! We’ve got something exciting brewing, ready to be served some time after TAGS. Want to be the first in line? T…

Lean in for a quick scoop from our Art Director and Sound Designer on what to expect from the collectibles in Scratch The Cat.

October ended on a spooky note, so let’s start November on a cozy one with a little update from us - and some fresh visuals!
