Well, something wonderful happened last month: Slumbering Woods has received funding support from Screen Australia as part of their Games Production Fund program!
You can read the full official announcement here, but the short version is: we’re in it, and we’re very, very chuffed.
This support means a lot to us. It’s not just about the money (though, let’s be honest, that part is deeply appreciated – it does buy an awful lot of tea). More importantly, it gives our small team the stability and peace of mind needed to craft a gentle, wholesome game without the stress of constantly checking if we can still afford rent and cloud storage at the same time.
Thanks to this funding, we can confidently say:
🍄 The demo is happening.
🍄 It’ll be full of strange mushrooms, sleepy vibes, and bug-collecting goodness.
We want to extend a big, warm thank you to Screen Australia for believing in tiny studios like ours and supporting weird, heartfelt games made by small teams with big dreams.
We’re hard at work making Slumbering Woods the best it can be, and we can’t wait to show you more. Expect more updates soon, including sneak peeks, strange creatures and new mechanics.
Thanks for being here,
The Chunky Quail Team
