CODA is a small Melbourne based independent (indie) gaming studio founded in 2018 which recently gained popularity among the gaming community with the announcement of their first title, ‘Overdue’ (2020), made possible after receiving Kickstarter funding. CODA values the recognition of old video games with ‘Overdue’s’ genre fitting into a classic side-scrolling beat ‘em up featuring many references to older video games, which have shaped the culture of gaming. CODA remains true to the philosophy that quality is shaped through the restrictive nature of past technology – creating games specifically with the restrictions of retro video games.

CODA is reselling ‘Overdue’ as a collector’s edition after the success of the initial game’s sales. CODA requires this new edition to comprise of a new packaging design and a promotional collectable. Both the new packaging design and collectible are aimed to entice fans to purchase (and some even repurchase) this limited release of the collection.
