Read Nedine Moonsamy's review of "Mothersound" 👀📖❤️🚀

"Mothersound translates pluriversal thinking into method as the Sauútiverse is a shared and open world, and only exists through collaborative worldbuilding."

Android Press ran a successful crowdfunding last year and one of the backer perks (and a perk for us!) was having a meet and greet.

Saturday evening was a great time to chat to our backers, speak about our world and the various projects on the go.

Thank you to everyone who was on the video call.
