“We love physical games and vinyl. They’re not just cherished collectibles, but also cultural and archival artifacts,” said Amanda White and Jon Gibson, co-owners and co-creative directors of iam8bit. “We also recognize that we only have one planet, and over the last year, we’ve been diligent in developing better, eco-focused packaging and production techniques. Think of this as the ‘Alpha’ version of our ‘better for the planet’ packaging. Change doesn’t happen overnight, so we really wanted to start the conversation as a first step toward the goal of 100% eco-friendly packaging for physical games.”
Untitled Goose Game from Australian game developer House House lets players become a goose on the loose in an unsuspecting village. Players make their way around town, from peoples’ back gardens to the high street shops to the village green, setting up pranks, stealing hats, honking a lot, and generally ruining everyone’s day. Untitled Goose Game has received multiple awards since 2019 including recognition from BAFTA and the Golden Joystick Awards, as well as “Game of the Year” accolades in the Game Developers Choice Awards and 23rd Annual D.I.C.E. Awards. To date the digital version of the game, which originally released in September 2019, has sold over one million copies.
