It supports online co-op and there is even a combat arena to unlock, so yes I think so!

Such a surreal thrill to see MFL complete and released into the world!

This new 1.0 includes more than 35 mins of new music by the way which I actually suspect makes MFL the game I have written the most music for, ever. Really keen to hear what people think, because I reckon this game is brilliant.

Over the past few months we've been finalising something delightful & very unexpected.

With agreements now signed & files shared we can officially say that our machinima doc The Grannies has been officially acquired by the BFI (British Film Institute) & is now part of their permanent archive.

🤠

The Grannies film poster. A cowboy on horseback floats in the air in the videogame red dead online. A series of film festival laurels sit above the film title.

a man sits in front of two large projector screens showing the grannies. The film shows two players in desert settings. One screen shows a woman floating in a hovering wall of water. Another shows a cowboy waving from inside a desert canyon

photo of inside the BFI's film archive. A woman stands in a tall dark narrow aisle in between shelves packed floor to ceiling with film cannisters.
