Games have always been a technical art form. But as the tools for capturing human performance become more sophisticated, Ashley Keeler says there's a real risk of losing the human at the centre of the process. This Wednesday (20 May, 11am), StudioT3D are hosting a brilliant panel bringing together practitioners from performance, theatre, and production to ask: what does it actually take to deliver a truthful in-game performance? Join Ashley Keeler from StudioT3D, Kirsty Gillmore from Sounds Wilde, Beth Park from PitStop Productions, and Philip Stevens from Arctic Hazard - to cover all things voice, casting, narrative, and motion capture.

In April, we introduced a 'social-first' approach to content from The Esports Radar, and produced massive results across LinkedIn and X after a full month of it in action 🚀 By moving away from purely link-driven posts, we cultivated conversation on socials, creating a hub for discussion in each post and hosting the article CTA in the replies to avoid sending people to the website before they had a chance to interact. In one month, we broke through to the broader reaches of their target audience. We more than doubled the link clicks, almost tripled the engagements, and saw a 92.4% growth in impressions - matched by a rise to a 7.6% engagement rate. Need some social support? Let's talk about how we can help bring your accounts to the next level: contact@getinagency.co.uk

We've had the pleasure of working with the wonderful team at Red Rover Interactive in support of their upcoming release, Enginefall 🚆 Enginefall throws you into a post-apocalyptic world where giant moving trains are now humanity's last refuge. You and your friends must raid these giants and extract back to your dagger shuttle with as much loot as you can carry. It combines the best bits of PvP, survival, crafting, and building, and every play-through is completely different. Across the last few months, we've supported the team to create gameplay-focused short-form videos for socials that take players through the train and showcase what they can expect later this year... also a great excuse to play games at work 🤠 We're excited to continue our partnership ahead of the big day 🫂
