Glowmade 🎮✨

What an absolutely star-studded shortlist this is! Glowmade being up for 7 nominations for the 2nd year running is absolute madness, but we're so very proud of all our hardworking devs and fellow studios for promoting such creativity and excellence in 2025! We can't wait to see you all on awards night 🎉 Well done to our beloved Jade, Sophie, Adam, Ellis, Jess and Sam for giving their all in everything they do! #guildfordgames #gamedev #celebration 💚

We're so happy to have taken home the #Ukie award for Best UK User Generated Content, in the very first year of this new category 🎮✨ It's a bittersweet blessing to receive such recognition for King of Meat among our peers, but there's no finer way to send it off than knowing we truly achieved what we dreamed of during development: a game that empowers players to create something they love 💙 Thank you so SO much! Onwards, and always upwards 🎉 #gamedev #gameawards #ukgamedev #guildfordgames

🌸✨ Happy International Women’s Day 🌍💖 Here's to our celebration of the strength, resilience, and brilliance of women around the world; to all the outstanding accomplishments of fellow female-identifying directors, producers, artists, programmers, actors and marketers in the games industry! Glowmade's biggest strength is our diversity, and not a day goes by these powerhouse women don't keep proving it. Here’s to women in games, and the evolution of our spaces to uplift and empower us, our players, and our games in all the ways that matter 💜 #IWD2026 #EmpowerHer #WomenInGames #GuildfordGames

Coming back after a holiday can be hard, with a lot of pressure to hit the ground running and make up for "lost time." But we're taking things at a more explorative pace this month, with a handful of learning workshops cropping up across the team. Because sometimes the best thing to learn about your game is something new! Today, the designers are getting together to learn about VFX from our resident particle wizard, and QA are Frankenstein-ing enemy code. Maybe we'll even mash 'em together by the end of the week, and see what our initiates unleash 👀🎮 #gamedev #gamestudio #trynewthings ✨

@GUGamesFest @SuperMGames @TwoPointStudios @fuse_games @EA @Fireproof_Games @StellarEnts @PixelCountGames @larianstudios @CriterionGames The absolute BEST community, incredible achievements all round!

It's been a crazy year all round - from finally shipping #KingOfMeat, to all the events and community spaces we got to share with friends, family and fellow devs. It's not always been easy, but it never is! We're just so thankful for the new experiences we've had, all the players and feedback we've gotten to grow with, and for the chance to do it even bigger and better in the year to come 👀 Hope you've enjoyed the ride in 2025, but that's a wrap on this turn around the sun!

And with that, Glowmade are officially on holiday 🎉🎄 THANK YOU for a marvelous year, with many insane twists and turns, and we can't wait to find out what 2026 will bring! So, with big love from all of us: Happy Holidays, don't eat too much chocolate, and we'll see ya on the flipside 🕰️❄️✨ #happyholidays #gamedev #outofoffice 🥩

2025 wasn’t just busy. It was LOUD! 🤘 Shoots, trailers, comms, thousands of hours of capture and viewing figures that made our little black-sheep hearts swell. We’re small, scrappy and we came out swinging this year. Thanks to everyone who worked with us in 2025 - together, we turned it up to 11 and had a *blast*! 2026: let’s cause even more trouble.
