After making Ghost Town with @fireproofgames.com @karriebear.bsky.social contacted me to interview me about my strange career. I go into the ups and downs of designing stories for games via her expert questions here m.youtube.com/watch?v=Mb9P...
This week on the #GameMakersNotebook Podcast, @karriebear.bsky.social chats with @caraellison.bsky.social about her path from television to games, the global dev scene, her desire to bring local culture to the global stage, and her work on @fireproofgames.com's #DICEAwards winning game, Ghost Town!
WOOP! We’re thrilled that Ghost Town won the Players’ Choice Award at the Guildford Games Festival, our home turf! 🥳
Good to see some Ghost Town Goodness at the Guildford Games Festival 👻

Exciting to see Ghost Town nominated in the #NewYorkGameAwards 😁! We'll be sure to tune in for the ceremony on 18th January!
It was 13 years ago today when our debut game ‘The Room’ won the App Store GOTY, a milestone moment that changed the future of our entire studio! A big thank you to everyone who bought our games and supported us over the years 👍🥳👍

Brilliantly cinematic supernatural thrill ride Ghost Town is finally on PSVR 2 and it's easily one of my favourite games this year
