Sunny's Dark Night — now on iTunes!

Our third appisode: Sunny's Dark Night is now available on iTunes. When the power goes out in the City, Sunny calls Windy on the phone ...

This is our favourite episode yet, with catchy beats, midnight snacks, late-night phone calls and comet-spotting!

As always, we used old-school traditional stop-motion animation: we even made the city light go out using a Sharpie to black out the yellow windows :)

Our bonus games, included with the app, are a word map, in English and French and a matching game. 

Launch Party!

We are celebrating the release of the first two appisodes in the Windy & friends series: Windy's Lost Kite, and Foggy's Big Fright (Halloween) and we are inviting you to join us!

We are delighted to announce our official launch party! And we know it's going to be great because it is being hosted by the amazing collage collage. We have always been big fans of the projects, ideas and beautifully books and art supplies that come out of collage collage (and we have had great parties there before ...) so we know you'll be in for a treat.

We'll be doing a fun Halloween craft, having some homemade cookies and colouring, and we will even have an in-store giveaway (which will be funny, we're excited about it) . We will also have some great swag to hand out. It's quite early to make this prediction, but it might be the party of the century. Only time will tell.

So please join us (Judith and Robin), along with our great producers Leah Mallen and Marc Stephenson and the lovely team at Loud Crow Interactive for cookies, crafts and giveaways.

Launch Party!

When: Sunday October 19th from 12 – 2pm
Where: at collage collage, 621 Kingsway, Vancouver, British Columbia
How: boat, train, pogo stick or scooter, it's really up to you

Leave us an RSVP in the comments below (not by email, please) and we'll put aside some swag for you :)

an early Halloween treat

Are you excited for Halloween? Do you know what your costume will be? For us, we cannot believe it's almost here! We're getting in the mood with a sweet Halloween wallpaper of Mellow, our little witch in Foggy's Big Fright — our Halloween appisode, which is just released on iTunes this week.

We've formatted the wallpaper for lots of phones and tablets, so find the right size for you in our For You section!

For more treats, don't forget to subscribe to our Windy club — we're working on some fun surprises!

We are live!!! Now available on iTunes!

Our first two appisodes, Windy's Lost Kite, and Foggy's Big Fright (Halloween) are on the app store, and we are even featured! You can find both appisodes as a bundle, also (the most popular option).

If you are a fan, please give us a starred review, it will really help us to make more appisodes and other projects :)

Thanks to Claire Scahgerl from our art department for the screenshot from her instagram. And thanks to Kyrani Kanavaros, who sent in our first photo of a downloaded app being played — love these looks of concentration! (Kyrani, of Klik Photographic, also did a beautiful set of photos from our play testing session that you'll find around our site.)
