NotGames, the indie dev team who should probably stay in their rooms and think about what they've done, are delighted to announce that, thanks to the success of their debut game, NotGTAV, they are able to today make a first payment to their charity - Peer Productions - of £5,000.
Peer Productions works with young people to provide high quality social education through theatre. Their highly acclaimed theatre work has been seen by tens of thousands of young people throughout the South of England. All of their performers are young volunteers who spend a gruelling year at the company before reaching the drama-school or university of their choice. The peer to peer model allows the team to effectively deliver messages to difficult-to-reach teenagers on such vital subjects as teenage pregnancy, self-harm, addiction, and eating disorders.
Alex Paterson, NotGames Chief Art-Scribbler, said "We are delighted to make what we hope will be the first of many payments to Peer Productions from sales of our game. Our entire team has had their lives profoundly and permenantly changed by this incredible little charity. In fact, without Peer Productions, our team would never have met. That's why we took the unprecedented step of giving all of the profits from our game directly to them. Although we're not actually in profit yet - games are expensive to make - we wanted to make a first payment anyway to help this important organisation with the constant battle for survival felt by all those working in the charitable and voluntary sector."
Mr Andy Murray (still not that one), NotGames BuildMaster General added "We're all genuinely astounded by the success of NotGTAV. It seems to have found its natural audience on Steam and we couldn't be more delighted. We'd like to thank all those who have bought the game and helped both us and Peer Productions to continue to persue our aims."
NotGames are currently working on NotCoD, a satire of the Call of Duty series which is due out in Q1 of 2016, as well as preparing a scurrilous and probably offensive Christmas Single featuring David Cameron and His Bullingdon Big Band.
NotGTAV is ON SALE on Steam until Monday 19th October!
