On June 5th we have planned and scheduled a stream of our latest game project: Lion Rampant: A Viking in the Sun. However we ran into technical difficulties on the day and are now looking forward to record a demo of the game in the near future. Thank you for your patience and stay tuned for more information.  

In other news, the lab and the student society will both continue to be active throughout the summer so please stay tuned for more information on future events.
