Thanks for the fabulous chat! 🙏

It’s finally happening!

Haha I know - I appreciated the light return jab is all 🙏

Edwin has been waiting to punish me for this jab, and he did it so elegantly 😂

Didn’t realise institutions could have kinks lol

Nyamakop has now had multiple museums reach out now to ask if we need more artifacts for Relooted, and if we'd like to 3D scan parts of their African collection.

It was very much not on my bingo card that real life museums would be asking us to fictionally steal their artifacts lol

Relooted Is an Historical Heist with Cultural Weight Behind It - IGN Relooted puts the player in control of a team of Robin Hood-like thieves that have dedicated their talents to the cause of reuniting items of cultural significance with their home countries. The group...

I played Relooted at Summer Games Fest and it might be my game of the show?? www.ign.com/articles/rel...

“I came away from Relooted feeling like it is one of the freshest, most interesting games at Summer Games Fest and I cannot wait to play the full title.”

I must protect my sweet Swedes from you meanie Americans

Probably best to have both game developers who made a project in the head line, no?

Relooted is the African relic repatriation heist game you didn’t realize you needed Half-heist, half-action, all heart

“I think it’s still probably the most diverse collection of authentic African accents that’s ever been in a video game.”

We’ll be in contact, thank you for the offer 🙏

We would love to have you visit too! ❤️

Exactly.

Oh it totally does - it’s pretty on the nose as a point 😅

Your artifacts are looted and you can’t even get to visit them even if you have the money to??

“Relooted might be the best game I played across any of this weekend's showcases: a polished, thoughtful and outright fun heist caper that dares to ask challenging questions about art and ownership.”

❤️ @npr.org

The dev applied ones are pretty strong in the weighting

But they have a new wizard now which makes it a little harder to do weird combos

Steam tags are weird - especially for stuff that is so different to most things like ours

We’ll keep tweaking!

But honestly FAR is one of my favourites of all time so I ain’t mad 😂

Ja my oke, it’s not the best hey? Pretty kak!

Thanks mate, and hope you get to visit home soon!

Had an intrusive thought 🤔

Howzit, ma bru - good to see you round these parts ma chana!

Hope you doing lekker, hey?

Fair!

Me and the team would too like less fuel on the fire 😅

But we still gotta speak our truth and talk about the game otherwise we just giving in to the targeting

Who said I’m nice 😠

But yeah also the irony of the game we’re making just made the inability to make that choice feel even more awkward and shitty

I think mostly it just sucks that we as the team and as the company couldn’t decide who to represent us.

It just came down to who had a visa or the right passport

In terms of your quote tweet posts about how bad faith actors can use the headline: you’re right they can use it badly!

Unfortunately, they already are doing that with just the trailer. It can always get worse I suppose, but it’s already happening

Personally, it would have just been nice to do press with another member of the team. Just bring a different energy, and they can speak to stuff I can’t as authentically.

Also honestly it’s just more fun to riff off someone who also knows the game and well

Hey! I hear your point!

It’s certainly a spicy headline choice - I lol’ed when I read it 😅

It’s definitely not the issue having me introduce it (and in fact I didn’t at the Day of the Devs stream, just for press at SGF).

I am the creative director on the project after all
