Halloween Winners!

[h2]COMPETITION WINNERS[/h2][p][/p][p]Thanks so much for all your entries, we were blown away by the creativity on show!

It was a tough decision, but I'm delighted to announce the two lucky winners of our limited edition pin badges 🎃

First up, the overall winner is SaturnGrl with this horrifying scene - what sort of dark rituals are about to be performed here?! 👻[/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink]This entry topped the team vote because of the combination of elements. It's not just the overall setup and story... but once you clock how any eyes and faces there are, you can't unsee them, however much you might wish you could!

As promised, our top runner up also gets a badge, and that goes to stephanie, with this wonderfully creepy scene! 🕸️[/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink]There's a lot going on here, we feel like we've intruded on something very uncanny... and the bear's head facing the wrong way is just the right kind of twist that really sold it for us.

A huge congratulations to both of our winners, I'll be in touch to get your postal addresses and send the pins on their way 💖

[/p][p][/p][p]We want to say thank you again for everyone who entered out competition, we can't wait to run another one! The team had a blast voting, and you all keep reminding us how imaginative and talented you are. We're humbled to know you![/p][h2]
MERCHANDISE VOTES![/h2][p][/p][p]If the glimpse of a pin badge has got you wanting, nay needing some official Trash Goblin merch, then we're currently running a vote over on our discord to see what kind of poster you would simply have to own should we make one. [/p][p]And if I'm not being too much of a tease, I'd say you really want to head over there as we're going to keeping asking for votes and feedback on merch as we build towards something very exciting. But more on that soon - for now go and vote!

Steam Deck N Stuff Hotfix #3
