# Awards

We're incredibly proud to have received many awards over the years, for both the games we've made and for simply being the studio we are. Oh, and Tim too. He's won a few.

Because we've been making games since the year 2000, we were starting to lose track of some of the older awards. (Not bragging! The studio's just getting on there in years!) We decided to make a list, check it twice, and publish it here. Behold! All of our awards and nominations, ever. Fingers crossed we can keep adding to it over time...
