“After months of creating a game that we had loads of fun making, we’re very excited to be able to share it with the world,” said Nick Jefferson-Tame, Lead Artist and Creative Director, North Star Video Games. “When you launch a title, there’s always a mixture of excitement and nerves after putting it out there.
