On July 25, the whole world is invited to 62 West Wallaby Street to play some very crazy golf with Wallace and Gromit! Collaborating with Aardman has been a dream come true from when they attended our 2023 SXSW Meow Wolf announcement event, to our visit to Bristol not long after, and throughout the development process over the past year. We are thrilled with how this course has come together and are so chuffed to share this behind the scenes look at this grand adventure!

One important way that our team collaborates as a hybrid studio with two offices and Coconuts spread across several states is what we call “summits”. Here are some shots from a recent Design Summit in Oregon where Walkabout Mini Golf creator Lucas Martell along with Don Carson and Henning Koczy converged to work on 2025 concepts. We were inspired with what they came up with and we hope you will be, too! #indiegamedev #virtualreality #designsummit
