Season’s Greetings from Camel 101! 🎄 This time of year (and only this time), the only chills should come from the winter air, not the shadows. Enjoy the holidays, play some great games, and have a Merry Christmas and a New Year filled with excitement and surprises!

Ricardo, a member of our team, provided guidance to participants on effectively presenting their ideas to potential investors. It was an amazing day filled with inspiring projects and energetic entrepreneurs, making meaningful […]

We were invited to Fórum Fantástico 2023 to talk about storytelling in videogames. Ricardo was there, talking with Rogério and Calebe from Octopus Embrace about the importance of narratives and our sources of inspiration. It’s always a pleasure to talk about games and the small things that drive us to pursue this passion.
