On with the Show! Part 1 - Animex

Richard Franke

Hello Kittens! It's been a busy year so far, which started with finishing our Valentine's day update and then I was straight up to the other end of the country to the Animex Festival to give a talk on the making of Kitty Powers' Matchmaker.

Kitty also made an appearance at the Game Bridge event on the Wednesday to look at some awesome Indie titles including Gang Beasts, and then she rocked up again on Thursday to host the charity auction for Special Effect, a charity that helps disabled people to be able to play video games. She does get around!

Things are about to get Steamy!

Happy Valentine's Kittens! We've got a surprise for you!

As you may have heard on the interweb, we are working on a version of Kitty Powers' Matchmaker for Steam! Yes that's right!

In association with the lovely Kittens at Mastertronic, it will soon be Valentine's Day EVERY day on your PC or Mac when Kitty sashays onto your home computer or laptop!

Keep an eye out here for more info Kittens!

We're finalists in the Surrey Digital Awards 2015!

Richard Franke

Well I never, we're finalists in the Surrey Digital Awards 2015!

We entered our little app Kitty Powers' Matchmaker a few weeks ago and totally forgot about it, and now lo and behold Kitty's fabulosity has caught the eye of the judges!

According to their website it's  "the first-ever awards scheme to recognise the online achievements of businesses, schools and charities from across Surrey". Sounds exciting!

You can find their website here and the results will be announced on March 5th!

Keeping everything crossed!

BBC Radio 1!

Hello again Kittens and Happy New Year!

I just woke up and realised that in the flurry of Christmas and New Year I completely forgot to tell you that we were on Radio 1 Newsbeat on the 12th of December!

I was on a panel of other 'industry experts' (lol) to have a debate with some gamers about some issues within the industry, such as addiction, online bullying and whether games are worth the prices we pay for them.

Sadly the clip is only available on catch-up for one more week, but here are some pictures to make up for it!
