We will have some big news coming this week, but first let’s talk about PAX Prime!
Come join us and play the unreleased Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime during PAX at booth 3017, on the 4th floor expo hall. Find us just south of The Behemoth, who, through their amazing Gold Egg Project have lovingly nestled our booth next to theirs and across from Supergiant Games.

T-shirts!

Many have asked and we have finally listened. We will be selling a limited supply of t-shirts that we printed on super soft heather plum and heather black AA t-shirts. Many thanks to everyone on Twitter who helped us pick our design.

Pinny Arcade!!

Speaking of Twitter, remember when we asked whether the Lovers should have mouths or not? We’re excited to announce that we will be taking part in Pinny Arcade this year and have designed a sweet mouthless pin.

Super excited to reveal this Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime cover art by the amazing Justin Chan!

We’ve been fans of Justin’s work for a while, and we were thrilled to have him create some art for the game. Seeing another person’s take on this universe is tremendously exciting, both because Justin is great (seriously, I mean look at his tumblr and youtube), and also because we’ve been living exclusively in the world of gameplay graphics for so long. New art is like a breath of fresh air! Or fresh cosmic vacuum.

Anyway, things are happening, and there will be more exciting info coming soon!

She cannae take any more, captain!
