In January we released a free update for

Speaking of our team, here are some of their favourite games played in 2023:
Here are some highlights from the past year:
🥇 Nobody Saves the World was nominated for a bunch of awards, including the Canadian Screen Awards, Canadian Game Awards, and Webby Awards. We didn’t win any of these, buuuuut…
🏆 
Over this past year we’ve been busy prototyping new stuff, playing with new ideas and styles. We’ve landed on something the whole team is very excited about, something completely new to us that we hope you’ll be excited about too.
We can’t wait to share more when we can, but in the meantime here’s a lil sneaky peek ^

Happy Holidays! 2022 was an eventful year for us, and we wanted to take a moment to reflect on it and share some highlights.
Earlier this year we released our brand new game Nobody Saves the World. It was our most successful launch to date and we have been overwhelmed by the positive reception!
Nobody Saves the World has even been featured on a few Game of the Year lists!! We’re honoured to see it on these lists alongside so many of our favourites from this year:
Speaking of which, here are some of our team’s favourite games played in 2022:
We moved!
Remote work has changed the way our team collaborates, so we recently moved to a new office that is better suited to our new approach to working together (and we had a little pizza party to celebrate!). Much of the team will still be working from home moving forward, but people that want a work-in-progress-home-away-from-home now have a shiny new space to hang out in!
NSTW Vinyl
Back in September, Jim Guthrie successfully funded his vinyl campaign for the Nobody Saves the World soundtrack (featuring artwork by Drinkbox Art Director Augusto Quijano). We’re looking forward to getting these into your (and our) hands (and ear holes) in early 2023!
We’ve been working hard on something special for Nobody Saves the World (coming VERY SOON) as well as prototyping some other new stuff… we’re excited to share more about all of that when we can!!
Thank you for making Nobody Saves the World a very memorable launch and 2022 a great year overall for Drinkbox. We really couldn’t have done it without you and appreciate your support.
Happy Holidays, from your pals at Drinkbox Studios.

If life can teach you something, it’s that the more you learn, the more you realize how much more there is left to learn! I was feeling confident that my naiveté entering into the development of the first game would not be an issue on the sequel. "We've done this before". All of the major problems were solved already, we've even done a successful sequel before (shoutout to Mutant Blobs Attack!) -- how naive of me...
Turns out Guacamelee 2 was quite a challenging project! We realized we needed to make the game better, more engaging, finer tuned. And, in the end, I think we succeeded. The experience has better flow, it's ambitious but stays grounded, it's bigger but better paced, the upgrade system has more depth, the art direction was taken up a notch. For the untrained eye these changes might be a bit invisible, but these were complex problems and -- ok sorry, I'm tooting my own trompeta.
I want to share some examples, though, of things we couldn’t figure out that got left on the cutting room floor. Not all of our shots are going to be golazos, but failed bicycle kicks are still very entertaining. So, for your enjoyment, here’s a behind-the-scenes peek at a few of our failed ideas from Guacamelee! 2.
Cabezón’s Pontoon
We had an idea to have a waterfall as a point of no return, featuring a studio favorite: Cabezón in his pontoon. I did a quick flash animation to illustrate the story beat for it.
We had planned to cut Pueblucho out of the map here, but later we realized it would be better (and metroidvania-er) to have the Darkest Timeline version of Pueblucho as a place the player could revisit. Sadly Cabezón's pontoon was relegated to a dialogue mention, but his love for boating is still a core character trait in our hearts.
The General, Coscorrona Sisters and The Handler
The bosses in Guacamelee are quite extravagant characters, and their complex nature makes them very challenging to design. Before our beloved Muñeco came to dazzle us with magic tricks, or Cactuardo teamed up with the Bird-who-must-not-be-named, we had The General, the other Coscorrona Sisters, and The Handler. Well we never really "had" them. We couldn't make them fully work for one reason or another...
General Huesitos
General Huesitos was a dead dictator who stole an enormous golden machete from a giant. He died when a cannonball smashed into his face. I love that visual, but for various reasons he didn't make the cut. Only his machete did (as Muñeco's melee weapon of choice).
Oh, and there was a third Coscorrona sister, who died after overusing her ability to transform into a giant.
Eventually, as I mentioned, Zope took the role of Cactuardo’s partner, and helped us tie up the narrative with the Illuminati subplot.
It's been an exciting year with the team releasing
