So grateful we got to work with @marajunot.bsky.social on Arctic Awakening! Her performance as Naomi brought heart and humanity to the coldest parts of the game. Couldn’t imagine it without her contributions.

One of my favorite moments from this whole journey was showing an early build of Arctic Awakening in an underground bar in Tokyo to a crowd of Nintendo, PlayStation, Pokémon, and indie devs. Almost no English in the room, but we all vibed over a shared love of games.

#indiedev #gamedev

Holly only needed one voice session. That’s how good @ciacourtvo.bsky.social is! Sharp, funny, and full of surprises, she brought our favorite conspiracy theorist to life in ways we never expected. 🛰️

#indiegame #voiceactor

We finally got the green checkmark! ✅

After some back-and-forth with Valve, Arctic Awakening is now officially Steam Deck Verified!

Arctic Awakening Troubleshooting Guide | Notion Troubleshooting

Thanks for the heads up! Looking at your videos, it seems to have happened due to the specific timing at the moment where you saved and exited on your first stream. If you can send me your save file I can get it sorted and figure out a fix: goldfire.notion.site/Arctic-Awake...

From our very first voice session way back in 2022, we knew that Jason Maniccia was Kai. His theatre background helped him to capture the depth and subtle emotions of the player character🎭

Some early bot concepts by @lanebrownart.bsky.social that would eventually become our favorite therapy drone - Alfie!

#screenshotsaturday #conceptart #indiedev

From Sonic to Spider-Man, you’ll recognize @davebmitchell.bsky.social's voice from some of your favorite games. In Arctic Awakening, he delivers a truly remarkable performance as your missing co-pilot. It was always a joy working with Dave over the last few years!
