Inside Baseball: As a small organizational crew with big ambitions, we have to get pretty creative when it comes to production. The hosted segments you saw last night were filmed way back in early August; the same day (and different NYC borough) as the most recent Six One Indie Showcase.
A new trophy has been permanently added to the Trophy Room! 🏆 Thank you so much Indie Game Awards for awarding Blue Prince the Innovation Award & the community for choosing us for Best Puzzle Game in the Community Picks category.
what an honor to help present this award :) I attended my first GDoC expo around the same time I started prototyping Building Relationships, and those talks really helped lay the groundwork So glad I got to talk at GDoC expo this year (it truly was the most pleasant recording experience)

Welp I 100% did not expect to be crying but here I am absolutely in tears. In an especially hard year with all the attempts to dismantle support for equity initiatives, I've personally been staving off feelings of hopelessness. So it means a lot to know that we are making an impact. Thanks 💖
