Things have been quiet here for a couple of weeks, but for good reason: we’ve been traveling, and we’re incredibly proud and grateful to have been honored with two major awards:

We were awarded Best Debut in both the BAFTAs and the Game Developers Choice Awards!

We take both of these as incredible honors. The British Academy Awards are such an institution, and we had a wonderful time dressing up in our tuxedos and evening gowns to attend the awards:

We never imagined we’d have one of these masks on our shelf… nor a GDC Award at that! The Game Developers Conference has been a huge part of all our professional lives, and so to be up in front of all those people in the industry who have inspired us to make games, and receive this kind of recognition, is just phenomenal.

(Above: the standout moment when Kate stepped forward to thank her wife, Emily. Hi Emily!)

We just want to say again, thank you to our parents and families, our friends and loved ones and peers in the industry who have all made these moments possible. There’s no way this could have happened without every person who’s supported and encouraged us over the years and throughout the development of Gone Home. You have our unending gratitude.

Cheers!
