I like fluffy things and lovely people and playing games and tinkering with things I’m just not clever enough to do for a living.

What's the (Origin) Point? We've put a little video together to answer that question. Over the next few months we'll be sharing our favourite games made in Africa. Follow, and who knows, maybe #africanvideogamedev becomes a thing.
Excellent game with an excellent name from excellent people.

Tarryn van der Byl@nxtrms.bsky.social · 3mo agoJust dropped out of a launch call with teams from Los Angeles to Joburg and Cape Town to Melbourne, to press the buttons and launch Mixtape. We laughed, we cried, we hurled. Working on this game has been one of the most amazing experiences of my entire life.

The official soundtrack to Morsels by Sam Webster is now available for purchase on Steam and the Epic Games Store. What's your favorite track? Here's a sample of hits to jog your memory 👇
Immensely proud of the work our team has contributed to Morsels. It’s wonderfully unique, full of character, and tough as sharpened cat’s claws. Genuinely lovely humans involved at all levels, especially Toby and Iggy.

One more day until you can -meet a fatberg -capture creatures -fight evil cats -upgrade upgrade upgrade -nod your head to a killer soundtrack -and get weird with it Morsels is almost here. Are you up for a challenge?
