Our stuffed mascot game in the office is starting to shape up pretty nicely! 🧸
We love our Peridot, Turnip Boy, and Meta Llama - but our Beagle and Peter, our giant caterpillar, will always have a special place in our hearts.
Who do we need to add next?
It’s getting awfully spooky in the Petricore office… 🎃👻
We even had a visit from our skeleton friend from Mythic Realms! The weird part? No one actually knows where he came from. Sometimes he just… gets up and walks around muttering Latin backwards. Probably fine though.
Happy Halloween! 💀🕸️
Now let's hope there's that fantasy person who has all the answers and figured everything out - and they show up to grace us all with their enlightenment.
Or we all vent about it for an hour and leave all feeling a bit better.
After many, many attempts at submitting content for GDC with no luck, I finally had a submission accepted!

Throwback to when That_VR_Girl claimed her rightful place as Queen of the Forest in Mythic Realms 👑🌲
