That's the end of our 2023 recap π«
We wanted to say a big thank you for supporting us over the past year, through the release of Tray Racers! and all the updates.
We truly appreciate your support and are excited about what the New Year will bring us! π΅ποΈπ¨
Tray Racers! most recent update added old buried, overgrown cities and ghosts to the game (spooky) π»
It gave players the ability to follow other players ghost's in the weekly races to try and beat their times and added the ghost as a skin for the Supporter's Pack!
One of our favourite things this year was our tray design competition!
We asked members of our community to submit their ideas for tray designs, then we picked our favourite to add to the game.
We loved them so much we ended up with 3 winners, all which are now in Tray Racers!
In June we had the pleasure of releasing another update made for @P4PAlliance's Green Game Jam π±
Toad mode! A new game mode where the players goal was to save the endangered Harlequin Toads hiding amongst a rainforest biome πΈ
We also won the Best Newcomer award for the jam!
Not long after releasing Tray Racers! in April, a surprise update in May dropped with VOLCANOES π
This brought along a brand new biome for racers to contend with, filled with lava geysers, shifting rocks and hot vents. We also added cool new cosmetics including the ROCK TRAY π€
Since launching we've loved seeing Tray Racers! community develop, especially on the task of topping the increasingly difficult daily races π
We've also had lots of fun on our discord (/bit.ly/TrayRacersDC) racing together, playing on stream and sharing stories from the slopes!
Happy Hollidays and Merry Christmas from all of us at Bit Loom! π π»πβοΈπ΅
This drawing was a joint effort between Caitlin, who unfortunately got ill and couldnβt finish, so Susieβs partner took over to colour in the sketch!
Collaboration is the spirit of Bit Loom after all π€
255 days ago today Tray Racers! was released on PC & Switch.
Launch day was a very special moment for the team, it was incredible seeing everyone finally getting to play Tray Racers! with all their friends π«Ά
Relive the day and watch our launch trailer:
Weβll be recapping our favourite Tray Racers! moments over the next week and a bit, so keep an eye out!
Expect a big Bit Loom recap next week too. 2023 has been an exciting year π₯³
What a year 2023 has been on the Tray Racers! slopes π€
To celebrate, from now until Hogmanay (NYE in Scotland) weβll be posting daily Tray Racers! highlights from throughout the year.
From release, updates and fun community moments, weβll be covering it all!
uh oh it's me the community manager realising at the end of the year (while doing the end of year recap) I never tweeted pictures of our amazing volcano biome...
Here they are 7 months late, incredible landscapes π
Bit Loom Update #12
It's the last update before the team go on holiday! βοΈ
This week James made a little game, Henry continued working on an old prototype and Caitlin started on a secret piece of artwork π
Can you believe that @playPHOGS was released almost 3 years ago?!
To celebrate, weοΏ½οΏ½οΏ½ll be live-streaming Phogs! together this Tuesday (the official anniversary)β¨
Looking forward to celebrating with you all π more deets to come!
Caitlin added some @PlayPHOGS themed items to our still life game, BOINGLES AND MUNCHLETS!! (plus unrelated hair bobbles and a cactus)
Boingles are special blue friends you can find in Phogs!
And Munchlets are the hungriest lil dudes in all the land (now with a crisp brand π€)
We'll be back next week with more updates! Have a great weekend all π€
