Hi folks,
Best wishes from all of us at Rusty Towers and we hope you’re all well and safe. While we note that many countries are starting to ease the lockdown, here at Rusty Towers we are still very mindful that our operations and studio situation are such that we will continue to be operating remotely for some time yet.
Again, it’s a quiet week on the news front, I’m afraid. It’s fair to say that, like many production companies, the current global situati...

Hi folks,
Best wishes from all us at Rusty Quill go out to all of you. We hope that folks are staying safe, looking out for one another, and continuing to take precautions if you have to go out, for whatever reason. Community is important in the face of adversities.

This the backstory Ben submitted for Grizzop. Any content which could give away plot points has been removed.
Born in Amsterdam he (like the rest of his clutch) scraped an existence on the fringes of civilization, living in the sewers of the city. During this time he stole and scavenged, but never progressed to outright murder (although stripping drunkards of their possessions did probably lead to a few deaths from exposure). When he was 3 (human years) a flash flood destroyed...

Hey folks!
Just a quick message to say that today's early access episode of The Magnus Archives, is going to be delayed as it was deemed to be in need of some more work. This is nothing critical, but we just want to make sure that we aren't compromising on quality.
As soon as the episode is done and completed quality checks, we'll be releasing it, but we cannot say exactly when that will be as yet. Expect a few hours delay at a minimum, though.
Best wishes,
Join Alex, Helen, Bryn, Lydia and Ben in this week's episode of Brorb Chat!

Merry Monday folks!
Hugs and best wishes from all of us at Rusty Towers – it’s a bank holiday here in the UK and the sun is shining. Things rumble on in the background here – and I’m pleased to say that our shows are running as well as can be expected. We’re aware that governments are presently looking at ways to ease national lockdowns, but I can assure you that, as convenient as it might be, we’re not going to be rushing to get people back into studio – we have no intent...

"Hello, I'm Lowri, I'm from Swansea and yes, I'm sitting *next* to a desk. I absolutely never edit in my pyjamas. No way, Alex. Much professional.
Unsurprisingly, I am a huge fan of the show, invested in the storyline and almost rival Helen in vocal reactions! This frequently involves having one-sided conversations with the cast while editing; I can neither confirm nor deny that this includes shouting at them for cross-talking.
