HANDYGAMES NEWSLETTER // MAY23

May 2023

Alles neu macht der Mai

This headline seems strange. Well, it just fits too well for this newsletter, and for good reason. Because we here at HandyGames always start freshly strengthened into spring since Wednesday - and that literally. Read the article about Local.Loots and you will immediately understand why it is so delicious. Furthermore, this time we will keep you up to date with a few appetizers and not fatten you up. That's good. Then there will be more time for May and all the nice things you can do in this merry month. Except for playing, of course.

By the way: "Alles neu macht der Mai" is an old children's song from 1818, composed by Hermann Adam von Kamp. Nice melody. ;)

Loot local at Local.Loots!

Finally, it is done. After three years of planning and construction, we here at HandyGames have an exquisite restaurant that leaves nothing to be desired. Local.Loots has opened its doors! The goal was clear from the beginning: to create a place that offers high-quality, free catering for our employees on the one hand, and a social meeting place on the other, so that our heads do not only smoke during the production and distribution of great games, but also so that lively exchanges between otherwise rarely interacting colleagues can be cultivated.

Is your mouth watering already? And you're wondering how to get a table reservation? That's an easy answer: Actually, not at all. This team restaurant is for HandyGames employees. Exclusively.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be a Team Restaurant. It is possible that we will invite one or the other to be our guests, but we are not open to the public. What a pity, isn't it?

But don't be sad. Soon we will report more about and from our new team restaurant. About trainings, meetings, and other events we haven't thought about yet. And who knows? If you have the appetite and want to be here now, just apply for one of our open vacancies!

Hearty Sales

Normally, we try to keep our newsletter ad-free. But when current offers align so well with the timing of our newsletter, like this month, it's hard not to talk about them. Besides, the hefty discounts do put a smile or two on your face, don't they?

So, long story short: There are currently two sales going on that are quite something: On Steam, you get a big discount on our popular singing game One Hand Clapping - but you shouldn't take "singing game" literally, because, after all, it works fantastically with everything that makes high and low sounds. From the 16th to the 23rd of May, you can get One Hand Clapping on PC for 47% off!

You may have noticed that HandyGames recently celebrated its 23rd birthday. It's a perfect occasion for Microsoft to be in their publisher spotlight and thank our fans with attractive prices. From the 16th to the 23rd of May, you'll get up to 90% off.
