Hi kittens,
Happy Christmas. Wishing you a wonderful festive holiday with your nearest and dearest. We hope your furbabies get lots of cuddles. We have tons to recap, so let's dive in!
👋 Your positive rating means a lot to our small team. If you have enjoyed Copycat, please drop us a review. We love to read them.
The biggest news is that the Copycat family has donated AUD$2297 to our local pet shelter. The funds are going to the Lost Dogs (and Cats) Home located in Melbourne, Australia. Not only will the donation help fund crucial vet treatment and loving foster care—but will also give animals a whole new lease on life in a loving forever home. All thanks to the wonderful players who purchased the physical edition of Copycat on PS5 in collaboration with Tesura Games. Big thanks again and looking forward to more great opportunities to make meaningful impact. (Note: All the PS5 physical release copies are sold out! They will be restocked in the New Year.)
That's a wrap on festival season, everyone! We have loved our time at the India Game Developer Conference in November. During our time there, we gave two talks on the following topics:
💛 Engineering Empathy: Exploring cathartic games with the developers of 'Copycat'
🧡 140,000 Wishlists on Micro Marketing Budget: Our indie game story
It was a pleasure getting to know everyone in Chennai. We were blown away by the talent and passion of the indie games community. Big hello to all our new friends from around the world! We also did some travelling at the end of our trip to learn more about this beautiful country. We visited Agra, Delhi, Varanasi, and Jaipur. We have had a taste and can't get it out of our heads. Now back to work on our newest project. Plenty of surprises to come ;) So stay tuned.
