We've been working on our game's story recently. And in the process have created a very normal, 100% not weird, timeline!

We added a new game-mode to CorpoNation and fixed some bugs! Mental health challenges made it hard to work on this game after we launched it originally, so I'm extremely proud we finally managed to get an update out. To anyone that's played it and liked it, pls consider leaving us a review. 🙏

Canteen @canteen.bsky.social · Aug 4

Surprise update for CorpoNation

Endless mode! 👀

You can chill out working forever in Zen mode, tackle difficult tasks from your manager in Challenge mode, and work everyday to keep your daily streak alive. There's also a bunch of bug fixes and improvements 🦝

we all know this is often how it goes

Anakin (seen as an unfinished red circle drawing): "just make it exist first"
Padme (smiling): "So you can make it good later"
Anakin (seen as an unfinished red circle drawing but it's super close up): "..."
Padme (worried): "So you can make it good later right?"

This is the wooorst. I know I don't have a huge reach on here, but I can vouch for the fact that Steve is super talented and a pleasure to work with. Anyone would be lucky to have him on their team so please share!

Hi everyone… I can’t really believe what’s just happened but I’ve just been released from my new role…

I just signed a 12-month tenancy to move to a new city and now desperately need to find a job.

I’m looking for anything in comms/marketing within games or otherwise.

anyway the Steam Summer Sale is live and CorpoNation is currently 40% off

It’s a work/life-sim with a strong dystopian narrative about the perils of working for an awful company
