ISSUE #24 - OCTOBER 2026
Ready?...PRODUCE!
We have some huge news this month! Planted! is now officially available to buy on Steam, Xbox and PS5! Prepare yourselves for some seriously chaotic horticultural combat and get ready to Sow, Grow, and Throw your way to victory! Planted! is a fresh indie experience, grown with real passion and packed with heaps of creativity, exciting surprises, and wildly unpredictable moments! Which character will you play as?
Part harvest sim, part sports game, and 100% cultivated chaos, Planted! challenges players to take on their friends in arena combat where they will need to strategically plan their produce production for success. Will they utilize fertilizer to grow colossal crops for more points, will they steal their opponents offerings, or will they use powerups to propel themselves to victory? Only thyme will tell. Planted! offers several flavours of gameplay, with players able to jump into the multiplayer whilst sat on the couch locally, or online with their friends (or foes). Competitors can cross-play between both PC and consoles, and for players wanting to pull on their wellies, grab their spade, and hit the allotment solo, Planted! also offers a carefully grown single player campaign, set in the cutthroat world of competitive gardening!

“We hope players are ready to dive into the cutthroat world of competitive gardening as they take on their friends – and we can’t wait to see how they grapple with the ridiculous nature of the setting and challenges that await.” “Planted! has been a background passion project for the Cloth Cat team for the last five years, and we are beyond excited that the game we weren’t able to stop thinking about has now become a reality.” Ben Cawthorne, Creative Producer, Cloth Cat Games
“
“We have seen such an incredible reception for Planted! from the community – we love seeing how much fun players have stealing each other’s produce as they fling it across the map – and we can’t wait to see the reception to even more of the multiplayer arenas – including the Volcano and Construction locations!” “When Cloth Cat told us about their horticultural combat party game packed to the brim with character and playful ideas, we were sold, instantly, and we hope players are too!” Ed Gregory, Senior Publishing Manager, Curveball Games
You can now also pre-order a physical copy of Planted! from The Game Collection, which comes with an awesome selection of extra bonus goodies! Physical copies can also be purchased from Argos, Amazon, AO and Simply Be, with the physical release of the game taking place on 12th November 2026.
Last month, Planted! also featured on the cover of Debug! The magazine is independently owned and produced, showcasing previews, reviews, features and interviews covering the entire spectrum of indie games. Debug #18 is available in premium quality print and DRM-free digital editions. Order your copy here!
Fallen Angel
Fallen Angel is now available to watch on BBC iPlayer! The new adult animated comedy was written and created by Craig Roberts and Josh Hicks through Cliff Edge Pictures for BBC Wales. The star-studded comedy features the voices of Craig Roberts, Rhys Ifans, Morfydd Clark, Dawn French and Richard Ayoade! Cloth Cat had the great pleasure of animating the 14-minute pilot, working closely with Craig and Josh to bring their canine escapade to life in Moho. Animation Director, Jon Rennie and Art Director, Tom Lucas would like to offer their thanks to Craig, Josh and Adrian at Cliff Edge Pictures and to congratulate the entire production team for all their hard work on the project!

We were absolutely spoiled this month with two fantastic instalments of Cardiff Animation Nights! On 1st October, from the comfort of our own homes, we tuned in to enjoy a live, hour-long broadcast from the Cardiff Animation Nights YouTube Channel. On 29th October, Cardiff's animation community gathered at The Underdog in the city centre, for Cardiff Animation Nights' 12th Birthday celebration! We were treated to an awesome selection of indie animation sourced from inspiring filmmakers around the world (and cake!). Congratulations CAN on another fantastic year! Over the coming months, CAF on Tour will also be travelling the length and breadth of Wales, presenting two brilliant programmes of films to audiences across the country! The Welsh Work programme showcases an eclectic range of animation filmmaking, spanning stop-motion, experimental film and everything in between. With its remarkable diversity of voices, techniques, styles and stories, the programme offers a vibrant celebration of homegrown talent in Wales. Head along to one of the upcoming tour stops and discover these distinctive films for yourself!
