IKEELYA found it's way to top of the Top Shooter page on @itch.io. Initially we couldn't understand the sudden up tick in downloads, followers, and comments. ๐Ÿ˜

Lilโ€™ Ops went through a few iterations of placeholder or โ€œprogrammerโ€ art before I got Kayla on board who made everything make sense ๐Ÿ˜

Trying to figure out what I should name my game... ๐Ÿค”

It started off as "Redirect", but the more we leaned into the toddler aesthetic, the more obvious it became that we had to change it.

Which name do you prefer?

We got to showcase IKEELYA at @amazefest.bsky.social Berlin and had the best time watching so many people play and fall in love with our demo.
Thanks so much to @wingsfund.me for the nomination! ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’›

Some games are fast-paced thrill rides. Others are slow, scenic drives with a killer soundtrack and a story that sneaks up on you.

Two siblings, one last chance. A long drive to closure. ๐Ÿš—๐Ÿ’จ
Road Trippin' is a narrative game about mending broken bonds on the way to a wedding. Will the road bring you closerโ€”or drive you further apart?

Can games explore mental health โค๏ธโ€๐Ÿฉน and still be fun to play? ๐Ÿ•น๏ธ

It's giving Feng Shui | IKEELYA YouTube video by GameGrumps

Woke up a few days ago to messages telling me @gamegrumps.bsky.social played IKEELYA! Still can't believe our silly cozy violent game made it onto their channel. Here's a thread of my fav comments on the video.

We need more games for people who arenโ€™t โ€œgoodโ€ at games but who wonโ€™t be treated like brainless tap-monkeys.

Games that make you feel comforted instead of assaulted, delighted instead of distracted, invited instead of getting guilt-tripped by cynical FOMO-loops.

The world is dark and hard enough.

I made a new hire Nomi poster! I'm mildly busy as I've slowly started working on a new project and don't feel as desperate (although my bank account would disagree) but I'm generally available for work!

Been deep diving into choices in narrative games with a little project called: Between the Lines, where you volunteer at a College Support Hotline and unravel a queer coming out story

Currently working on *Between the Lines*, a dialogue puzzle game where you answer the phone at a crisis helpline and guide callers through a tough time.

This year I'm prototyping 12 games in 12 months, focusing on narrative design and great storytelling.
