We're a little bit late for this week, but we swear it's not because we've abandoned you! Our staff have just been a little busy this week ❤️

Anyway! Spring will (hopefully) warm up soon for the flowers to start sprouting out of the ground. 🌷

Our friends at Green Robot Studios contacted us about recording a Let’s Play for “Kun’tewiktuk: A Mi’kmaw Adventure”, and we were glad to have a peek at the finished game; it was great reminiscing about our time spent recording, travelling and celebrating the contributions of us and everyone that led up to the release!
