The origin of Great Gold Bird, Great Dark Yawn is as an alternate reality game (ARG) created by myself (Katie) and creative partner, Shawn in Austin, TX, 2015. We’ve been running Twin Alchemy Collective, an interactive/immersive theatre company together for 4+ years, and are interested in the ways in which theatre and gaming can inform each other.

Sorry for the radio silence. We've experienced some personal and professional setbacks that are not worth getting into, but we're back on track and looking for a publisher to help us complete the game! Thanks for your support. It keeps us going. More soon

Well friends, it might not look like much from this pic... but we did it! It's officially a wrap! What you see here are the final docs we hand to our beloved programmer to sort out! Looks like we'll be bringing Great Gold Bird to you guys Spring 2020!!

Oh you know, just some last minute game additions from our Derek Van Gieson... wonder what he's cooking up with these sketches? We are SO CLOSE you guys!

Sorry we've been a little radio silent, recently! We've stepped up our production pace, and are heavy in the fog of tweaking final writing/voiceovers/sound design/music! But, we did find this washed out polaroid just laying around...

What's the most vivid memory of your childhood home?

The attic door was connected to my bedroom, and I never once went up there. I was terrified of it. Maybe because my dad told me they chained my twin sister up there, and fed her fish heads. Who knows?

Holllly smokes, you guys! We broke 10,000 followers over the weekend- and we could hardly even believe it! Thanks so much to Gamejolt for all the support, and to all of you for the love! We’re cutting a gameplay trailer now and should have it very soon!

Aw, the humble TRS-80! David uses it because he's perhaps a little paranoid (and secretly nostalgic for old technology?) But, as the enigmatic Joseph Heller sates: "just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they aren't after you." (art: Travis Schmidt)
