Oi oi, BAFTA!

Imagine our surprise when BOTH our games were nominated!

We had huge news in early March 2023, as the team waited for the BAFTA Games Awards nominations to drop.

We’d released two eligible games in 2022, so we were all crossing our fingers for a nomination!

And, with two games nominated in the same category, we naturally entered into some friendly competition!

Needless to say, we were excited!

When the day came, members of both teams got to walk the red carpet, while everyone watching at home nervously waited for the livestream to start.

...and of course we're happy to say we all stayed down-to-earth and grounded even after the win

The big moment! (And a lesson in how to swear at the BAFTAs and get away with it)
