I love to rant and/or rave about…all of it. Love a piece of all the pies.

🎄#Devmas Day 10: 2024 Recap 📝 ✨

What a year. Lots of milestones to be proud of: nailing the story, showing at WePlay, announcing the game…

But the one we’re most stoked about is just the momentum we have on the project atm. 🏃🏽‍♀️

Two games in one show. Sucker for punishment!!

We’re heading to WePlay Shanghai - what an epic line up! Will we see you there? 👀

[How was your Day? | Mad Carnival @madcarnigames]

Check us out at WePlay this weekend! Come and get a first look at How was your Day?

Tonight I learned something I’ve always suspected. Most people will support a rapist over a woman.

Meet Jesse - the local lemonade entrepreneur. This kid's wayyyyy to excited for a school day.

Meet Mr. Wiremu – like most teachers, he means well, but somehow manages to make it harder for Diya to fit in and make friends!

And, what's with the cat t-shirt?

What's up with Diya's spooky neighbour... Diya doesn't even know her name but she sure gives her the creeps.

The things you find when researching. This was fun to make 😀

Slow news day in Lakeview...

The local dairy (corner store) in Diya's town. What secrets is Eli hiding? And are Diya's attempts at beating the high score on 'Intergalactic Intruders' futile?

Can't have a Kiwi street without a dairy*...
And you couldn't have a dairy in the 80s without spacies (arcade machine). This is one of Diya's favourite hangouts.

*To anyone outside of New Zealand, I guess it's your local convenience store or corner store?

Inspo from life 🥰

Alfie - our inspo for Beans. Good doggies 😍🥰

This is our main character - Diya.

She's 13 and new in town. Grappling with the challenges of adolescence, she's also struggling to make new friends and the move has strained her relationship with her parents.

She definitely doesn't need more problems...

Gettting to relive my youth and spending time ‘researching’ for this game is genuinely fun. Also…I’m so old 😭

This is Diya and Beans. Beans is the dog 😀
And she's such a good dog. 🥰
