Murals Announcement: Media & Press Highlights!

Hey Loafers! 🫟

How has it already been two weeks since we announced Murals at Opening Night Live?! With that in mind, we thought it would be the perfect time to talk a little more about what we were up to at Gamescom! 

A group of Dlalans spent the week giving a hands-off demo to the world’s gaming media and creators! 

Wednesday to Friday was jam packed with sessions where we demonstrated a section of our mural (level) based on “The Little Mermaid”. Offering an early preview of the game and the opportunity for any questions to be answered! 

Since then, we have all returned home and our focus is back to working on the game while the coverage has been rolling out! 

There have been many amazing articles coming out over the last two weeks and we thought it would be great to share a few with you here!
