With A Maze Festival wrapped up in Berlin, next stop for us is Creative Coast Festival in southern Sweden! Our CEO, Gemma, will be there discussing ways to make a more inclusive and representative space for 'indie' creators.

Hey there lovelies!

You might've wondered why it got so quiet all of a sudden, news being hinted at etc. Basically, I got swamped with stuff to do, went to speak at QUO VADIS - Game Developers Conference and then for the last 5 days I've been sick in bed. Any and all help to share and spread information will be super appreciated!

Expect announcements in a flurry today and tomorrow. We've got so little time and so much fun to do!

We also hope to learn and share with Stugan's unique community of mentors and fellow developers.

You can watch our short pitch video below, which also explains more about ourselves, the game, and just how much Delia's dog wants to visit Sweden...
