Well I never, we're finalists in the Surrey Digital Awards 2015!

We entered our little app Kitty Powers' Matchmaker a few weeks ago and totally forgot about it, and now lo and behold Kitty's fabulosity has caught the eye of the judges!

According to their website it's  "the first-ever awards scheme to recognise the online achievements of businesses, schools and charities from across Surrey". Sounds exciting!

You can find their website here and the results will be announced on March 5th!

Keeping everything crossed!

BBC Radio 1!

Hello again Kittens and Happy New Year!

I just woke up and realised that in the flurry of Christmas and New Year I completely forgot to tell you that we were on Radio 1 Newsbeat on the 12th of December!

I was on a panel of other 'industry experts' (lol) to have a debate with some gamers about some issues within the industry, such as addiction, online bullying and whether games are worth the prices we pay for them.

Sadly the clip is only available on catch-up for one more week, but here are some pictures to make up for it!

Click here before January 11th 2015 to hear the clip!

GDC 2015 in San Francisco!

Hello Kittens! I've just been told by the lovely folk at GDC that I will be doing my talk as part of their Indie Games Summit at GDC in March!

The show is at the Moscone Centre in San Francisco from the 2nd the the 6th of March 2015. If you're going to be there please come along and show your support! You may even bump into Kitty Powers herself as she'll be hanging around the show trying to look busy too!

Here's a link to the talk's listing on the GDC site!

Richard's Staffordshire Uni Talk

Hello again from us here at Magic Notion!

It's been a little while since our last post; we've been busy having a little break after shipping Kitty Powers' Matchmaker, and are now back at the grindstone working on the next fun thing for you!

A few weeks ago our very own Richard Franke was invited to do a talk at Staffordshire University's Student & Indie Game Conference about how he got started in the industry, and how he set up Magic Notion. Luckily the Uni has a great televisual department so the whole thing has been recorded in lovely high definition for your delectation and delight! Enjoy!

RuPaul, Supermodel of the World!

Hi Kittens!

All of our drag wishes came true! We got mentioned on RuPaul's Podcast, 'What's The Tee?'. How amazing is that!?

We're mentioned in episode 14 - 'Granny Chaser'. About half an hour in as part of the sponsored Squarespace section. You can listen to or download it here or download it on iTunes.

Be warned though, the episode does deal with some rather saucy and adult subjects so be warned!
