5 years today since we released Untitled Goose Game.
Thank you for playing our videogame. 🥲
To mark the occasion, something from the goose archive — a proof-of-concept for a hypothetical Untitled Goose Programme made back in 2021.

In 2023 I completed my PhD, after 6 years — my thesis explored the uneasy situation of videogames behind the scenes of a public museum.

Now that we're back on here, we want to express our support for the Palestinian people, and their right to self-determination, safety and happiness.
An end to this genocide.
An end to apartheid.
Free Palestine.

excellent writing by @BRKeogh explaining why our renewed government funding is an okay way to build + support a """creative industry""" but insufficient to sustain the kind of messy creative practices that basically all of our best games have come from theguardian.com/games/2023/m…

Sincerely wish it hadn’t come to this.
Wish we had the privilege of only needing to fundraise for our own games’ development.
Instead, we are taking a stand against Cultural IP theft in games because no one else can.
And it’s the right thing to do.
