Award! 😮

I’m utterly stunned to report that Night in the Woods, a game which we work on in a variety of capacities, has been awarded two incredibly prestigious IGF (Independent Game Festival) awards for 2018:

Seumas McNally Grand Prize for Best Independent Game
Excellence in Narrative

This is a truly stunning result for a really cool little game.

Oh, we’re also nominated for some BAFTA awards. No big deal.

Night in the Woods

We’re making Night in the Woods for mobile. We’re very excited. The press is also very excited. Learn more on the Secret Lab website.

Doing things the hard way

This year, Jon gave a talk at GDC called “Making Night in the Woods Better with Open Source”. In it, he talked about how Night in the Woods (which came out last month and you should totally go buy) used the open source process in its development.

Unlike most of our other talks, we did something a little ridiculous with this one – we built an entire presentation system, from scratch, into Night in the Woods. We’re actually pretty proud of this, and so we put together a video showing how it was done. Check it out!
