I'll be showcasing at PAX Rising thanks to the Screen NSW market support program, and I couldn't be more grateful. PAX Aus is the biggest in-person showcase that I'll have done, in terms of attendance, and I wouldn't be able make it without the program.

Building Relationships is now launching Q1 2026

We need a bit more time for the story to breathe, to launch with the best version of the game!

Thank you for all your support thus far, and your patience with the delay 🙏

A screenshot from the game Key Fairy, showing a coven of worm-creatures, with the line "- The creatures devolve into shrieks -".
