We Were Here Together News

[h2]What have we been up to, indeed?[/h2]
Well, a whole lot of stuff! We recently released an update with some nice fixes and improvements. Read the full changelog here. Of course we've been working hard to finish up the Xbox One release of We Were Here Together, making sure everything is looking good there - because it releases today! Yep, all three games are now out on Xbox One as well - we're looking forward to seeing what everyone thinks!

This means the whole series to date is available on the Xbox - it's still so cool for us to see our puzzle game concept go from one title on PC all the way to a three part series on PCs and console, with more exciting things to come as well!

We couldn't go another news post without sharing more fan art! We loved this funny scene drawn by WWH player Blue and posted to our artwork page. Maybe check it out sometime - there's art, gifs, memes... all that good stuff.

[h2]Come watch our producer Geoff![/h2]


Geoff was already featured in an interesting blog post on Agora.io last week, which we'd recommend taking a look at if you're interested in games dev. This week you can get more insights into the We Were Here series and more as Geoff will be taking part in an Airmeet event organized by Agora.io, happening today! What can you expect exactly? We're glad you asked!

Two industry leaders in social gaming, Geoff van den Ouden, Producer of Total Mayhem Games, and Selcuk Atli, CEO of Bunch, will share their insights on how to make games more engaging through social connection, and why you should ditch Discord and add live voice and video directly inside your game

There will also be a Q/A session and a social networking time towards the end, as well as some tips and tricks to increase a game's user base and session times!

If that sounds good to you, check out the event here!

We can't wait to share what we've been working on! Thanks to everyone who filled out the We Were Here survey, we've been going carefully through the results and there's a lot of valuable feedback there. We'd also like to take a moment to salute the brave 193 (20% of respondents) who said that 'jump scares' are what they enjoy most in puzzles :D

[h3]Keep that fan art coming, we love it! We'll end with this screenshot taken by player Rabbit. It could almost be a vacation photo![/h3]
