We’re thrilled to be a recipient of the UK Games Fund. The support will allow us to seek out partnership opportunities and look to secure publishing deals with the intention of developing new game projects. Speaking at London Games Festival's Game Changer event, Culture Secretary Lucy Frazer said: “Video games are a vital part of this government’s plans to grow the creative industries by £50 billion by 2030. That’s why we are supporting talented new developers to maximise their potential and turn their ideas into the next best-selling, Bafta-winning titles.” Huge thanks to the UK Games Fund - we can’t wait to continue championing brilliant narratives through immersive storytelling! https://lnkd.in/etXGBCS3 #games #vr #studio #funding #ukgamesfund #announcement #xr #femalefounders #gamingindustry #film #thepiratequeengame #ukgamesfund

At the core of The Pirate Queen's development was our dedication to sharing a story that so few people know about. ✨ Guided by an incredible team of researchers, our intention was to consider every aspect of the story, from language nuances to the depiction of each item within the game. The result being a game we're proud to say is both exciting and educational - immersing players in the vivid world of a 19th century pirate ship on the South China Sea. ⚓ Recently, we had the pleasure of chatting with Nicholas Sutrich from Android Central, who shared his insights into what we set out to achieve: “I'd recommend taking your time in each of the game's thirteen chapters. Walk and look around each room and pick up the objects on the shelves and in the cabinets. Take a moment to listen to Lucy Liu's brilliant narration of the tale. If you do, I promise you'll learn something you've never known… That's why Meta Quest games like The Pirate Queen are the future of education.” 📚 Check out the whole Android Central article here: https://lnkd.in/eiA6Tagq #vr #education #xr #immersie #teaching #thepiratequeengame #lucyliu #film #narrative #interview #AndroidCentral #ThePirateQueen #AForgottenLegend
