We hope everybody is doing well and ready for the weekend!!β¨
A few weeks ago we finally got together with the DCP Award, it looks sooo cool in our office :D
Last month we participated in the indie games festival AMAZE in Berlin. It was super nice to see old friends and connect with new indie developers from our city and other parts of Europe.
Annika and Irene even got on stage and gave a presentation about Kraken Academy!!
Something suuuper cool: Kraken Academy!! was featured in the special "Nintendo Dream June 2022 Issue".ππ€―
Last month we also ran a fanfiction contest! We have sent a Broccoli Girl plushie to the winner @lee/blue for their romance story between a savesnack machine and bottlemachine. You can read it here. Congrats!
The stories of @AxoLite and @HeckinRobin also deserve a special mention, as well as the cute fanart from @PanTran - thanks so much for all the love you bring to the community! <3
