🎉 Core Keeper Reaches 3 Million Players! 🎉 We’re excited to share that Core Keeper has now surpassed 3 MILLION players! This incredible milestone reflects the ongoing passion and enthusiasm for the game, and we’re truly proud of how far it’s come. From exploring vast underground worlds to crafting, battling, and building, Core Keeper has grown into a thriving community of dedicated players. We look forward to continuing this journey, with exciting updates and new content still to come. A big thank you to our community and partners for their continued support. We can’t wait to see where the adventure leads next! #CoreKeeper #3MillionPlayers #IndieGame #FireshineGames #GamingIndustry

This is a great piece to read and see the direct role that playing certain video games had on influencing these careers and we're sure many others. Great work from Safe In Our World and Nintendo of Europe for putting this together.

Today we're celebrating the 1.0 launch of Core Keeper, an award-winning game that we're so proud to have played a part in since sharing our very first round of feedback FOUR YEARS AGO (super positive, we couldn’t put it down). Since then we have supported Fireshine Games and Pugstorm on this adventure through Early Access and to today’s 1.0 launch. With Bridie Daniels leading the community and social channels for the game (and so many other things) and Dave Scammell spearheading PR, it's been an absolute joy to put our 71 stamp on Core Keeper and to have learnt so much along the way. Watching the player numbers skyrocket has put huge smiles on all of our faces. Congratulations to Pugstorm, to Fireshine Games, and to everybody else who has supported the game along the way - you all deserve it!

In true Olympic spirit, we’ve also scooped up some medals of our own 👀 We’ve been recognised at The Stevie® Awards for Great Employers in the ‘Employer of the Year, Media and Entertainment’ and the ‘Achievement in Employer Branding’ categories, winning bronze for both 🥉 It’s such a great achievement to be recognised on a global scale, which is a true testament to the amazing people here at Product Madness 👏 #AwardWins #EmployerBrand

The 71 team is heading to Cologne in a few short weeks for Gamescom, and we're looking forward to catching up with friends, clients and meeting new people.

Great to see the first look at the August issue of Patch Magazine, featuring the bewitching REKA on the front cover from our friends at Fireshine Games. Very excited to pick this up when it's on shelves.

The MCV Awards were a timely reminder that this industry is full of so many brilliant and inspiring people. We had so much fun catching up with friends and making new ones. And we were super-chuffed that one of our lovely clients, the wonderful team at Jagex picked up the MCV/DEVELOP LEGEND Award at the end of the night.
