Partnership with VETPAW
HOLYSMOKE's partnership with VETPAW, a leading African wildlife conservation group, blends gaming with the fight against poaching. We've developed both an educational game, highlighting the issues of illegal wildlife trade, and a vanity plate to symbolize our support for VETPAW. This initiative goes beyond gaming, aiming to raise global awareness and provoke action.
Here’s What Our Partners Have To Say About Us
Working with Jesse and his team has been an outstanding experience. They're highly proactive, thrive in projects full of unknowns, and adapt seamlessly to shifting priorities and last-minute changes. Even under intense deadlines, when it feels like everything is on fire, they remain positive, focused, and full of energy.
Their quality bar is simply the best in the business. Every piece of work is thoroughly refined before it ever reaches you, making the entire process feel smooth, effortless yet collaborative. They also self-critique their work intensively, which makes it much easier to provide feedback.
I hope to work with you guys again one day!
