I want to thank the entire team that worked on Pond Scum. Every line of code, every asset, and every late-night brought us here. Ben, Rahn, Craig, James, Ben (2), Nic, Emily, all of our Translators! Pluto, Coffee, and mum. We had a great time at the Forum in Melbourne and hope to be back there again soon!Read full article on Community Announcements (wwuu)AnnouncementsOfficial
