‘The Remarkable Life of Ibelin’ echos a reminder of the immensely positive impact of the gaming industry on individuals and communities. 🕹️   The captivating, emotional, and bitter-sweet Netflix documentary released last Friday, follows the true story of a young man with Duchenne muscular dystrophy. His family mourned what they thought would be an isolated life for their son. Following his death, they discovered his vast community of friends in World of Warcraft. The family were flooded with hundreds of letters of condolences. Gamers from all around the world shared gratitude, love and appreciation for Ibelin, and his influence on hundreds of players in game. 💜   World of Warcraft provided freedom, friendship, purpose and comfort to Mats ‘Ibelin’ Steen’s life. Proving that video games can change a life, offering belonging and kinship to many individuals.   Airship Interactive are a proud sponsor of the incredible charity SpecialEffect. Their mission is to transform the lives of people with physical challenges through innovative use of technology. Providing solutions ranging from modified controllers to eye-tracking sensors, enabling people to enjoy video games to the very best of their abilities.   We are deeply moved by this beautiful documentary, and inspired to continue to help create these immersive platforms of escapism and joy for players all over the world.

Red dead redemption 2 was released 6 years ago! 🤠   This game has barely aged a day since its release back in 2018. Its breathtaking graphics and attention to detail raised the bar for game development. 🐴   The story of Arthur Morgan and the Van Der Linde gang is utterly captivating and emotionally immersive. With its vast open-world environment, collectables and challenges the player is transported to the American West of 1899.   With the recent 60fps patch, fans of the game are left stunned by its beautiful environments and design, once more. 🌄   Congratulations Rockstar on the 6th anniversary of this game. We are great admirers of your projects, and can’t wait for the release of GTA VI next year. 🎉

Its World Mental Health Day! 💜   Here at Airship Interactive we pride ourselves on our commitment to supporting the well-being and mental health of our employees.   Here’s 5 ways Airship Interactive cultivate a positive work environment that challenges the stigma surrounding our mental health.🚀   1- Safe In Our World - Level Up Partner. 🎮 Airship Interactive are a level up partner for the incredible charity Safe In Our World. Safe In Our World create and foster worldwide mental health awareness within the video game industry. Safe In Our World members have access to a wealth of resources to support them in their mental health journeys, from burnout support to menopause resources to exclusive training.   2- Trained Mental Health First Aiders.💟 Airship Interactive have 4 trained mental health first aiders. To anyone in our team, if you ever need to talk, our trained first aiders are just a message away.   3- Flexible working options 〰️🏡 Here at Airship Interactive, we take great efforts to ensure a supportive workplace environment for our employees on an individual level. Flexible working options are proven to alleviate stress on employees, and help to provide a better work/life balance. In a 2023 study by University of Pittsburgh study results showed that flexible work lowers depression rates. And in 2019 a survey found that 39% of employees who had the option to flexible working found their mental health had benefited.   4- BUPA support at Airship Interactive 💙 Airship Interactive provide SilverCloud mental health support through BUPA as part of our BUPA healthcare benefits. There are seven online mental well-being programs to explore, with proven techniques and tools to bring balance to your day.   5- TIGA Commitment To Workplace Well-Being Award nominee 🐯 It is an honour to be nominated for the Commitment To Workplace Well-Being Award. The initiatives listed above represent a fraction of the measures Airship Interactive take to foster a supportive and inclusive workplace environment that prioritises mental health and well-being, we are beyond proud to be recognised for this.   Around the world, data shows that those who work within the video games industry are often more likely to live with a mental health condition. In fact, in one recent census in the UK, it was reported that 31% of those asked revealed that they live with anxiety, depression or both (the national average is 17%) and globally, ‘crunch’ culture is being reported and discussed more than ever. These statistics act as a reminder to us to work together to create a environment that compassionately recognises mental health and removes the stigma surrounding it.   Lets get talking on world mental health day, because mental health is a priority - everyday. 📣
