Mm at E3!
16/07/2015
Phew! E3 is well and truly over for another year and what an amazing E3 it's been! We had such a fantastic time over in LA, showing the beautiful Tearaway Unfolded to the world, and also announcing our new project Dreams! It's been an exciting whirlwind over the past few weeks and we wanted to take a moment to share some of our photos, videos and highlights with you all!
Our E3 adventure started with some good ol' papercrafting! We had two Tearaway Unfolded areas at the show, so we wanted to get in there and leave our papery mark on the world! Before the show began, Alex and I popped into the convention centre with our papercrafting suitcase in tow and got to work at transforming our areas. I took my camera along for the ride and attempted to make a little time lapse video to show the progress! We had lots of fun papering both areas, but we were definitely pretty wiped by the end of it! It was all worth it though as our booths looked great (if I do say so myself!) Check out my timelapse video below, with music provided by the awesome Apparently Shane with his rad remix of the Gibbet Hill track!
Up next was the big Sony press conference and we were all very excited (and rather nervous!) to reveal our brand new project Dreams to the world! This was a big moment for us, and it felt amazing to finally be able to share Dreams at such a fantastic event, with such a passionate crowd! Here's Alex up on the stage, giving a little tease into what Dreams is and how it works.
The reaction we had as soon as Alex walked offstage was incredible! We were flooded with messages of love, support and excitement, not to mention a lot of questions! We can't wait to answer those questions and share more details at Paris Games Week in October, it's going to be fun. Until then, we're going to work our butts off to bring you as much Dreams goodness as we can!
Here’s a small selection of our Dreams press coverage…

After the press conference, it was time to get on with the show! We spent the next 3 days demoing Tearaway Unfolded to press, bloggers and fans around the show, and we also did a few live streams too which were super fun! Our favourite Messengers iota and atoi were also out and about on the show floor being adorable and posing for photos each day. We met so many lovely folks and had so many lovely comments about the game, it was awesome! Thank you to everyone who stopped by, played the game and chatted with us, we had a blast.
Here’s another small selection of press coverage for Tearaway Unfolded, along with some of the live streams we took part in.
