Just as COVID hit we were meant to move into brand new offices. A couple of years have passed, but an old Postal Sorting Office in the heart of the Lanes in Brighton has finally become our new home. 🏡

Our brilliant Office Manager @zoeosborne gives a tour inside our studio! 🤗

@ktysdal I remember brainstorming this section with Manos and initially we were going to try recreating this toy with the walruses, having you avoid them when they slide down 😂

@Radical_Em I had a choose your own adventure book when I was a child and I couldnt remember the name or find it anywhere for years - last year I found it for sale on ebay and it was such a relief that I hadn't made it up in my head

Ivan Ivanovitch Privalov found his way out of Plutonia travelling through lands of ice, deserts, jungles, and even a whale's gut.

But we are excited to say that his adventures are not over and soon it will be revealed what followed next....💙

🚩And the winner of ‘Best Casual Game 2020’ is… The Chinese Room: Little Orpheus!

🎮Congratulations to @ChineseRoom and the Sumo Digital family on developing yet another great game.

[The Chinese Room @ChineseRoom]

The title sequence for Little Orpheus has received a lot of praise, it was made by Ben Matthews, James Lyons, @Icarus32 and @WillTGames!

They used flat colour shaders with an orthographic camera, animated various parts in 3D and then sequenced them in Timeline. ✨

Little Orpheus' excellent story and charming underground world makes up for the simplicity of its side-scrolling platformer gameplay to create one of the best games on Apple Arcade.
