Hello everyone! First of all, thanks so much for stopping by our Steam page, or for following along on Tiny Bookshop's journey. We're so thankful that you are here with us, and have some great news we'd love to share with you. This weekend, you can find some of the coziest games on Steam all in one place, at the Cozy Quest Steam event being held until Monday, November 20th! Not only can you check out and wishlist upcoming games like Tiny Bookshop, but you'll also get a chance for great discounts and exclusive demos of more than 100 awesome cozy games! Join us for a weekend of delightful gaming and livestreams! In October, it was such a treat to have exhibited our game at the SXSW in Sydney for the first time! Everyone was so sweet, and we certainly hope to go back some day. Shockingly and delightfully, we made it to the Finalists of the GAME OF THE YEAR at the Games Festival Awards! What?! Thank you so much to the jury who deemed us worthy of such an accomplishment, and huge congratulations to DREDGE by Black Salt Games, the winner of the award! For December, we are invited to a very fancy and fun gala, since we are among the three nominees for the Ubisoft Newcomer Award at the German Developer Awards (Deutscher Entwicklerpreis or DEP). What a great honor that we have a wonderful jury to thank for! Keep your fingers crossed for us until the show on December 7th, when the results will be announced. Last, but certainly not least, we wanted to share one of the things we have been working on in the past months. Say hello to Harper, Bookstonbury's unofficial town historian, cryptozoologist, and general (adorable) nuisance.
She is eight years old and goes to elementary school, but that's certainly not stopping her from sticking her nose into your bookshop's business and sharing very helpful mermaid facts along the way. That is it from us for now, but stay tuned for more news, events, and updates from our small and cozy team! Thanks again for being here, and see you soon!
