Hiya Crewmates! We hope you've been enjoying the Indie Cosmicube! If you haven't picked it up yet be sure to do so and come up with an outfit that screams [b]I REALLY LOVE INDIE GAMES!!1!!1!![/b] Our winter holiday is coming up and plans are forming to spend time roasting marshmallows in The Fungle. Before we go, let's look back on some highlights of 2023: [h3]Collabs[/h3] We had a bunch of collabs with our friends at [url=https://www.innersloth.com/announcing-among-us-x-bungie/]Bungie[/url], [url=https://www.innersloth.com/announcing-among-us-x-pusheen/]Pusheen[/url], and [url=https://www.innersloth.com/announcing-ghostface-returns/]Paramount[/url]. And of course our friends [b]Behemoth[/b], [b]Untitled Goose Game[/b], [b]A Hat in Time[/b], [b]Celeste[/b], [b]Undertale[/b], and [b]Crypt of the Necrodancer[/b] as part of the [url=https://www.innersloth.com/announcing-the-indie-cosmicube/]Indie Cosmicube[/url].

We can't spill the beans about next year but we're not ending our collaborations here so keep your visors peeled. 👀 [h3]Beans grow up so fast[/h3] It wasn't all fancy new outfits this year (I do love a good fashion game though). Among Us grew in many new ways - like turning 5 years old and celebrating with a birthday stream!

To replace it, we said hello to our brand new menu along with improvements to Quick Chat, reporting features, and continually squishing bugs.
