welcome to palette swap :)
ANNOUNCEMENT
Today, we are beyond excited to unveil Palette Swap, an independently-run, crowdfunded publication bringing you the true colors of gaming and entertainment news.
The team here all met while previously working together at Hard Drive. Though various circumstances led us to leaving the company, we loved what we did there. A lot of big ideas never saw the light of day. With Palette Swap, we get to do all of that stuff and more.
That brings us to our main attraction—the two sides of our site.
First off is True Colors. There's a lot of games journalism out there, but we aim to bring you something truly unique—and entertaining to boot.
On the flip side of things is Different Colors. This is the gaming and entertainment satire you might know us for. At Palette Swap, we want to focus on quality over quantity. Read the full announcement at paletteswap.site
