A hodgepodge of last year. We went to San Francisco to present Flintlock, had beautiful Enki and Nor controllers made for it.
This is also my dog's first game credit (he was basically raised at the office, farting in meetings and finding long lost items).
#gamedev #nzgamedev #flintlock #officedog
Flintlockโs release anniversary is coming up this week, so hereโs some Enki love.
Iโll never forget working on this game. I met amazing people, found my crowd.
Behind each game lies the story of game developers, going through years of life and change together.
