Happy Holidays from Drinkbox Studios

Happy Holidays! 2023 was a relatively quiet year for us as we’ve been heads-down, working on some new ideas… but we still wanted to share some highlights from the past year!

In January we released a free update for Nobody Saves the World which featured Magic Jimmy’s Impossible Dungeon and a new unlockable Dinosaur form. We were overwhelmed with the positive response to this update and loved seeing photos of your statue gardens!

This year we added some new members to our team including 3D Technical Artist Greg and Junior Programmer Fred. We also welcomed back Animator and Artist Matheus who worked with us on Nobody Saves the World!

Speaking of our team, here are some of their favourite games played in 2023:

Cass: Nioh, Dragon's Dogma, Remnant 2
Fred: Paradise Marsh, Risk of Rain Returns, Plate Up
Gabby: Zelda TOTK, Baldur’s Gate 3, Dave the Diver, Slay the Princess
Graham: Baldur's Gate 3, Zelda TOTK, Mario Wonder
Greg: Lethal Company
Ian: Time Crisis 4, Cobalt Core, Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days
Josh: Hi-Fi Rush, Mario Wonder
Matheus: Alan Wake 2, Spider-man 2, Elden Ring
Mau: Mario Wonder, Zelda TOTK, Metroid Prime
Mike: Baldur's Gate 3, Armored Core VI, Cyberpunk 2077
Ryan: Dungeons & Dragons (pen and paper)
Steele: Hot Dogs, Horseshoes & Hand Grenades, Victoria 3, RimWorld
Vlad: Counter-Strike 2, Squad, Spider-Man 2, Armored Core VI

Here are some highlights from the past year:

🥇 Nobody Saves the World was nominated for a bunch of awards, including the Canadian Screen Awards, Canadian Game Awards, and Webby Awards. We didn’t win any of these, buuuuut…

🏆 Jim Guthrie won the Screen Composers Guild of Canada award for “Best Original Score for Games and Interactive Media” for the Nobody Saves the World soundtrack!

💿 Jim also released the Nobody Saves the World soundtrack on a beautiful double vinyl

🐓 We teamed up with The Yetee to release new Nobody Saves the World and Guacamelee merch, including this very good spinning pollo pin

💖 We partnered with Limited Run Games to release physical versions of Nobody Saves the World, Severed, and Mutant Blobs Attack (which sold out almost immediately!)

Over this past year we’ve been busy prototyping new stuff, playing with new ideas and styles. We’ve landed on something the whole team is very excited about, something completely new to us that we hope you’ll be excited about too.

We can’t wait to share more when we can, but in the meantime here’s a lil sneaky peek ^
