Hi everyone!

IT IS LAUNCH WEEK

First up, check out this short and sweet video which shows some emotional content from the team

Second up,

It's AGDAs time, baby!

We are incredibly honoured to have been nominated in a few categories - as well as given an honourable mention for another.

We are nominated for Best Narrative, along with friends You Will (Not) Remain and Wylde Flowers

We are also nominated for Best Serious Game, along with friends again (how lucky are we?) Kinder World and RAW: Emotions Unite Us

Finally, we have been awarded an honourable mention in the Accessibility category, thanks so much to our fantastic accessibility consultant, Cameron Hopkinson for their work on Wayward Strand there.

After many years of developing, plus a few stuck inside, we are very ready to let our hair down and have a boogie at the AGDAs this October.

Congratulations to all of the other nominees - it's really specially to be reminded each year of the caliber and diversity of games being made down under, and we give an extra special shout out to our mates Alex and Josh from 2pt Interactive. Both Alex and Josh contributed impactful work to Wayward Strand, and we are just so proud of them for absolutely sweeping in the nominations with their own game, Heavenly Bodies.
Shout out all of the games, but we'll do just one more here for our colleagues - A big congratulations to the team at Samurai Punk, for their nominations with JUST released JUSTICE SUCKS: Tactical Vacuum Action

That just about catches you up with us. It's hard to believe there are only 3 more sleeps for us until this bloody ripper of a game comes out. If you watch the video at the top, I think it helps describe just part of how we're all feeling.

As ever,
thank you for your continued and very appreciated support for us, and for Wayward Strand.

Goldie.

OH, PS.
Jason and I were on a podcast last Friday, it's really good. You can listen to us on Kritiqal Care here.

It's Goldie! I hope you’re cosy and wrapped up in various blankets, hoodies, oodies, onesies or jumpers right now, because it’s time for the Steam Autumn Festival! My very witty title would have worked better if they’d called it the Steam Fall Festival, but I appreciate the language too. Autumn just has a nice ring to it, don’t you think? Autumn. Makes me think of all of the best parts.…
