Tis time! The annual dev wrangling/family photo was a success — and just look at all these beauties ✨
Amazing how much we’ve grown this last year; so much talent in one place! What a team 👑🥩
Level up! We joined forces with @official_guildford_college to power up aspiring game devs on their academic journey 💪🎮
Milan (our Release Manager) and Peter (Head of Org. Development) took some time out from the studio to share insights on careers in gaming and the realities of studio life; and wow, the students had some amazing questions!
Phase 2 will be Glowmade hosting an online event where students can pitch their game ideas to our dev team for feedback, and we can’t wait! The future of gaming in Guildford is bright 💙

Last week we held a giveaway livestream for King of Meat; a viking funeral of many stickers, pins, and other lush merch we’ve made along the way 🎉🎮🥩
It was such a fun night playing together with our community, and — though our hands are numb from wrapping and writing addresses — we’re so happy we get to send a lil bit more silliness out into the world right now 💙
Bon voyage, sweet t-shirts: we hope your new owners love you much as we do!

We’re so happy to have taken home the #Ukie award for Best UK User Generated Content, in the very first year of this new category 🎮✨
It’s a bittersweet blessing to receive such recognition for King of Meat among our peers, but there’s no finer way to send it off than knowing we truly achieved what we dreamed of during development: a game that empowers players to create something they love 💙
Thank you so SO much! Onwards, and always upwards 🎉

🌸✨ Happy International Women’s Day 🌍💖
Here’s to our celebration of the strength, resilience, and brilliance of women around the world; to all the outstanding accomplishments of fellow female-identifying directors, producers, artists, programmers, actors and marketers in the games industry!
Glowmade’s biggest strength is our diversity, and not a day goes by these powerhouse women don’t keep proving it. Here’s to women in games, and the evolution of our spaces to uplift and empower us, our players, and our games in all the ways that matter 💜

Our amazing @admanic brought home the GG Creative Award, and we couldn’t be prouder! He pours 110% into absolutely everything, and there’s no more fitting trophy for our Creative Lead than this 💙 🏆
Thank you @guildford.games for an incredible festival and awards day, it truly does get more and more wonderful to come together with our fellow studios every year! We can only imagine how much bigger 2027’s will be for all of us 🎉 ✨ 🎮

✨💝 HAPPY VALENTINES DAY 💝✨
We hope you sweethearts have the loveliest of days, with many sweet treats and little moments - whether it be with family, friends, partners or showing some love to yourself 💛
In the spirit of spreading love, we’re FINALLY unleashing our secret #KingOfMeat pinup calendar designs! Twelve coquettish canvases made by all the best deranged hands from Glowmade’s art, production, QA and community teams. Because if there’s one thing we know, it’s that REAL art of seductive skeletons is made with love 🎨🎉
Just in time for that wallpaper change, eh? 👀 #gamedev #gamestudio #valentinesday #gameart
Glowmade are thrilled to be taking part in @specialeffectteam ’s #GameBlast2026 on Twitch, raising money for our favourite gaming charity! We’ll be tackling one big modded Peak, seeing just how many Glowbugs can survive the mountain (and each other) 👀⛰️✨

Donations are already open in our bio, if you’d like to get a head start in supporting this wonderful charity!

Coming back after a holiday can be hard, with a lot of pressure to hit the ground running and make up for “lost time.” But we’re taking things at a more explorative pace this month, with a handful of learning workshops cropping up across the team. Because sometimes the best thing to learn about your game is something new!
Today, the designers are getting together to learn about VFX from our resident particle wizard, and QA are Frankenstein-ing enemy code. Maybe we’ll even mash ‘em together by the end of the week, and see what our initiates unleash 👀🎮
