Where we lived and played games and made games for about a year 😄 this van was our home and studio. We even had a tiny desk and an even tinier power bank that was barely capable of charging our laptops at the time 😆 #indiedev #gamedev #gamedevelopment #vanlife #gamedevlife

Building designs for our game Aeon Guard. We wanted the world to feel dark, extra terrestrial yet familiar, and somewhat dangerous. We drew everything with silhouettes, not really pre planning anything, just experimenting and having fun with it. #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #gameart #gamedesign

For our cozy packing game, Snug, we added the option to choose a second language to learn the names of the items you pack. Could come in handy for that next trip ☺️!

We made a quick little video that shows our art 👉 rig 👉 animation pipeline in Unity for Mingle ☺️

Would love any tips on other methods of animating 2d in Unity that don't involve sprite sheets or parenting to nulls!

✨We’ve launched our Discord✨
It’s a space for players of Pikwip, Mingle, Neon Knives and Snug to chat, share ideas, give feedback, and help shape our games together ☺️

We’d love to see you on the Cookiecrayon Discord: discord.gg/NAreGExMMW

We're back to working on Pikwip! Play co-op or solo as two clumsy little characters tethered together on their way up a mountain #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #coopgame #climbing
