YRS TRULY

GDC rollcall! Who's up for catch-ups/coffees/cocktails/very serious business? Imogen Calypso Mellor and I are there, and you already know we'll come equipped with cute presents from YRS TRULY 🤝

I love the games industry but it's a tough one to break into, especially if you come from a working-class background. But! We have people like Declan Cassidy and Brandon Cole at Into Games trying to change this. They just need to raise £100K to make it happen. Game Plan 2024 lays out a full roadmap for building a fair and equitable pathway into the UK games industry this year – but they need support from the sector to make that change possible. We've donated as YRS TRULY, and would love to see others lend them support, whether by donating or by spreading the word! More about their plans: gameplan2024.intogames.org

Our Imogen Calypso Mellor will be hosting a panel at Roundhouse Trust in March – get your tickets here: https://lnkd.in/gCNXfjEu 🫶

Still can't quite believe it, but I was one of MCV's 30 under 30 this year! 🎉 I'm incredibly grateful to everyone who nominated me, or has supported me over these past 4 years (ish!) in the industry. Although it can be tricky sometimes to feel you're doing enough, small moments like this can remind you that you belong, and you're actually kinda smashing it! luv u YRS TRULY. thanks for everything, team x

Unlike most companies our size, we have an office (and treat it with love, even if it's currently covered in boxes). It may seem a bit counterproductive given that most of our work is done remotely, but we have a very good reason for it: our sendouts, which are all produced in-house! We want to create a cooler, smaller-scale and more sustainable alternative to standard influencer gifts, and I'm feeling particularly proud of this recent sendout we've created for Blasphemous II and Erika Beukes at Team17 Group PLC. We worked with small, local producers to create something really special. All custom made, packed in our office, hand-sealed with wax, with minimal waste. We hoped to do justice to the stunning art and moody atmosphere of Blasphemous: there's a box that opens like a shrine, bespoke prayer candles, dried flowers and pixel prints. Though some partially-recycled bubble wrap was unavoidable, we used jute and straw to secure smaller items in transit instead of opting for plastic moulds to hold them in place. If you want to hear a bit more, this case study is now up on our website – and give Blasphemous II a go, it's currently 20% off on Steam! 🫡 https://lnkd.in/ebtj94UY
