We also have some great content lined up from yours truly (Pixie Software), 5¼ Games and Codemasters for a jam packed evening of game development goodness!

We shall be meeting at the Microsoft Innovation Center Malta at SkyParks in Luqa. The fine folks over there are generously hosting us at their premises.

Breaking radio silence

It's been a while since our last post, but sometimes we find ourselves juggling so many different things that we get sidetracked. So it's about time we gave you some updates.

February and March saw us hard at work on an update for Trail of the Treasure Snatcher. It is now one step closer to our vision for this game. We will keep working on it throughout the coming months.

We've also been making a lot of progress on our new game, Toon Merge, which is currently in pre-alpha. Technically speaking, this game isn't officially announced yet and we don't really want to say all that much about it before we have something a bit more tangible and presentable in hand. We're very close, but we're not there just yet. Soon though...so keep an eye out.

Whilst planning the next PixieWorkshop sessions, in light of the upcoming University and MCAST "exam season", we decided to skip these next couple of months and schedule something later on. We'll keep you informed on any confirmed details via this website and through our social media channels.

Guess that's all for now. We'll try to post updates a bit more frequently. There will definitely be lots to say about Toon Merge over the coming weeks, so until then...
