GDC

It’s been a really busy couple of weeks! Bears Can’t Drift was picked to be part of the Epic Games Showcase at GDC. It was the first time Bears Can’t Drift!? Was running on a PS4 alongside 7 other games! If you get a chance, take a look!

EGX Rezzed

Bears Cant’ Drift!? is on show at this years EGX Rezzed in London. I have secured a 3x2m booth so head over to East Mall 1 - the Games Industry.biz careers fair!

Fingers crossed this booth back board doesn't collapse! If you are attending it would be great to see you, so make sure to come and say hi! Thanks, Arran
