Signal boosting!! If you make games or like supporting local games now is the time to ADVOCATE for that via the National Cultural Policy! Submit a statement - tell them you make/love games and WHY it’s so important that games be supported. I’ve attached a link!

We spent 2 weeks working on an April Fools joke. All dialogue references were changed to Winston, all appearances had a moustache, and the whole Steam page was rebranded. Was it worth it? Financially, not at all. Seeing the wave of 😭 reacts then 😂 come in on Discord: Priceless.

❗ANNOUNCEMENT❗ After careful consideration, we've made the very hard decision to rebrand our game so it's not about Winnie. Winnie's Hole has a NEW TITLE, and a NEW MAIN CHARACTER! We hope Winnie fans worldwide will now appreciate our fully original indie game.

After 2 months of work, the Clair Obscur Expedition 33 video is here. I interviewed most of the game's senior leadership team asking one simple question: how did you do this? Their answers were inspiring and moving, and it's no surprise that COE33 is as remarkable as it is:
