At Defiant Development’s five year anniversary party recently, staff who had been at the Brisbane studio for at least two years were rewarded for their faithful service with a sizeable sword.
Likely there was also an air of celebration about its recent achievement in Hand of Fate, the well-received hybrid game which we’ve been following since its Kickstarter days.

The two-year staff were inducted into the Defiant Swordsmen and Swordswomen, and just in time — winter is coming.

Wow crazy to see how this has evolved.
I was actually at uni with Kim, and did a group project with her.
Haven’t spoken to her since uni, but cool to see she has gone on to work for a successful local game company, and has been there 2 years now and got a sword. Damn time has flown by.
I guess these guys made the cut.
It’s a cutting edge studio
And a pretty cool gift, any way you slice it.
It’s a decent stab at an incentive.
Oh, you guys with your piercing wits.
Any future staff lay-offs are going to messy now that everyone in the office is armed…^_^
