A bunch of people working out of Paper House were interviewed for this wonderful piece written by Josefina Huq (@josefinahuq.bsky.social) for Well Played.

The article features a huge amount of insight from local developers and the importance of 'showing up' 💪

Babbling Brook by some Random Designing (@srd-ramon.bsky.social) is a relaxing game where you "sculpt sand to create winding streams through lush forests and rolling meadows". It also has rubber duckies! 🐤

We love it a lot!

This will probably get pulled, but this was the first cut we did using the reference track to try nail the vibes. It's such an incredible song. Not trying to piggy back off the news or anything, just wanted to highlight how much these artists influence people in ways that aren't always obvious.

The music we (asked @dangolding.com to do) heavily referenced for the Wood & Weather Whole trailer was this incredible track written by Brian Wilson for Glen Campbell. He was one of the best to ever do it.
