Our lead programmer Mikkel Lamhauge has always had a soft spot for fantasy worlds:

“I just love fantasy in the more medieval setting and their stories as well as good memories playing them with my mother.”

That love shines through in his trusty pony avatar 🐴⚔️

Welcome to The Hub - where beats power the city 🔋🎶
Scratch’s club connects to the heart of the world 🌎
As the music pumps, energy flows to all of Melotropolis 🌆
But when Snatch stole his records, the power cut out 🪫
Time to get the groove - and grid - back online 😼🎧

Lots of other work went into this announcement (website, presskit, press release & reachout) but this thread is probably too long so just to wrap up - we couldn't have asked for a better reception for #ScratchTheCatGame and we're excited to show more of it in the coming months. Thanks for reading.
