While the dev team is busy working on the biggest update for SpeedRunners (I swear it's not pixel art again), we have been working on the next big thing community-wise for SpeedRunners.
This summer we are doing a big push into the competitive scene, specifically LAN/Esports-style events. Yulia (tinyBuild's bizdev aggressor) already secured several events, and we're looking to expand.
Just a couple of weeks ago, GamerSaloon hosted an event at UGC Niagara with incredible reception. SpeedRunners holds up really well next to AAA shooters and fighting games.
Upcoming events include:
Baselan 28

We are looking for more events to partner up with and host SpeedRunners tournaments!
If you host local events, or know someone who does -- we would looooove to talk! We can sponsor events around the world. Let's make something awesome together to bring SpeedRunners to a new level. Feel free to reach out to us -- contact at tinybuildgames com.
