Paleo Pines takes all the best aspects of Animal Crossing and Pokémon and simplifies them in a way that fulfills a childhood fantasy and gives you a game that is a joy to play. While the gameplay is solid, it can get very repetitive and grindy.

Wow. In 2022, we released two animated shorts. Today, both were selected for Animation Di**le 2023. Amazing.

This is entirely down to the incredible talents of our young directors, Rachel Dixon and Britt Bailey, who were given the opportunity to create their films through the Creative Animation Scheme of Northern Ireland Screen and BFI. They were supported to achieve their vision by our entire creative team here at Italic Pig.
