We're celebrating 12 years of making indie games — from spooky pixel horror to thoughtful sci-fi adventure. 🥳

Our new game is dolphinitely different, and we think it's going to resuscitate an entire genre!

You'll see for yourself in less than two weeks! 👀✨

Here's a look at our animation process from storyboards all the way through to final for our Badlands Crew trailer.

Thanks to @runnerduckgames and @curvegames for having us and to the incredible team below for their work.

Gamedev hacks: Rope animation in Thirsty Suitors that wraps around characters is sleight of hand.
Each loop is just a single joint scaling and moving a donut-shaped object. Real rope takes a ton of joints or rope simulations I can’t do.
