The Art of Fauna just *WON* an Apple Design Award in the Inclusivity category. 🤯

But it is also a finalist for Social Impact. 💚
Two nominations, one win. I still can't believe this. What a year 🥹

PS: I love this graphic!

Graphic showing a vampire walking in front of a giant moon. In his right hand he carries a pumpkin bucket, in his left hand he has a book that he is reading. A ghost I peaking over his shoulder to also read the book.

Thanks!! 🙇‍♂️

Thanks for pointing this out, I would have missed it!

But do I get this correctly that I have to request the jury list and then reach out to each of them and pitch the game?

Brought back over 2kg of coffee, 5 books and a lovely bookmark from my travels to the UK!

Thank you so much for all the gifts,
@joe.inkle.co, Bas, Noam, @polpielladev.bsky.social and @pbobak.bsky.social!

Rumours have it that @chriswu.com gave me a chocolate but there is no proof of that anymore 😬

A table in a living room showing multiple items on it. The items are: Four bags of coffee (left to right: 1400 Colombia | Brazil from Saints of Mokha, Deer Hill from Dark Woods Coffee, Red Brick from Square Mile Coffee and a bag of unlabelled beans). Right to it is a stack of books, showing Of Ghosts and Goblins, The Man Who Dies Twice, Slough House, Second Foundation and Nero.

In front you can see a bookmark and four cards, showing various coffees from Dark Arts.

Late to the game, but finally started reading "The Thursday Murder Club"! 📕

And of course, you have to wear a fitting outfit for the book you're reading 😜

Always humbling to hear from our listeners, especially when our simple soundscapes have such a big impact.

Received the following from a listener;

This app helps me a lot to give me peace. I have tinnitus and I don't know any moments of rest in my head. Finally found an app where I can find my peace and distraction. Thanks again for this gem of an app.

The amount of love people have for the Art of Fauna is absolutely incredible.

Two recent reviews:

#indiedev

Screenshots of a 5 star review by biblofal from Türkiye, with the title: Such a Work of art

Text: What an exquisite work to cherish nature and its spectacular beauty, diversity. This app is not just a puzzle but a reminder of to really value our beloved Earth with all it’s lives. The sounds, the colours the text-visual design is theraupatic. This is another level. They even added a Phobia section for sensitivity. This is thoughtful, delightful and a perfect example of how one can use technology, UI design, productivity to favour humanity and fauna. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Screenshots of a 5 star review by AlwaysMuppet from Sweden, with the title: Amazing

Text: I never comment on these things but this app deserves it! Not only is the artwork beautiful but the background noise is so very peaceful. No loud music just animals and nature. I got to say that this is my all time favourite app!

Oh I thought I'm gonna give you a PocketShelf bookmark, but seems like I won't
