Updates

  • Happy Holidays! 2023 was a relatively quiet year for us as we’ve been heads-down, working on some new ideas… but we still wanted to share some highlights from the past year! In January we released a free update for Nobody Saves the World which featured Magic Jimmy’s Impossible Dungeon and a new unlockable Dinosaur form. We were overwhelmed with the positive response to this update and loved seeing photos of your statue gardens! This year we added some new members to our team including 3D Technical Artist Greg and Junior Programmer Fred. We also welcomed back Animator and Artist Matheus who worked with us on Nobody Saves the World! Here are some other highlights from the past year: 🥇 Nobody Saves the World was nominated for a bunch of awards, including the Canadian Screen Awards, Canadian Game Awards, and Webby Awards. We didn’t win any of these, buuuuut… 🏆 Jim Guthrie won the Screen Composers Guild of Canada award for “Best Original Score for Games and Interactive Media” for the Nobody Saves the World soundtrack! 💿 Jim also released the Nobody Saves the World soundtrack on a beautiful double vinyl 🐓 We teamed up with The Yetee to release new Nobody Saves the World and Guacamelee! merch, including this very good spinning pollo pin 💖 We partnered with Limited Run Games to release physical versions of Nobody Saves the World, Severed, and Mutant Blobs Attack (which sold out almost immediately!) 🥑 Guacamelee! STCE & Guacamelee! 2 were both made available on the Epic Games Store and Amazon Luna+ 🌟 Nobody Saves the World is in the December 2023 Humble Choice bundle (happening now!) Over this past year we’ve been busy prototyping new stuff, playing with new ideas and styles. We’ve landed on something the whole team is very excited about, something completely new to us that we hope you’ll be excited about too! Consider joining our discord to keep updated on the latest news about all our games (including this new one!) Thank you for all your support over this past year! We really couldn’t have done it without you and appreciate your support. Here's to a great 2024! 🎉

  • We took the team out to lunch, and then the team took an arrow to the knee! ...and head, and stomach, and elbow, and- ok so the team might need some time to recover. Pain aside, it was great spending time in person with all these talented, dedicated and friendly faces 🙂 A big thanks to Archers Arena for having us and making the experience so fun!
