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’ve hit 1,000 wishlists on Steam! Thank you to everyone who has supported Mingle, from the early prototype on itch, to the special motion controlled version on the Nex Playground, and all the future players on Steam 💯✨🙏

Here's an exercise routine that I recommend to game developers in 2025. Stay healthy 💪

#gamedev
Are you a game developer? Try these 4 fun exercises! Forward Lean (picture of a man leaning forward in his desk chair somewhat depressingly) Backwards Lean (picture of a man absolutely and completely deflated in his desk chair) Knees-to-Chest Stretch (picture of a man in the fetal position with tears welling up in his eyes) Egg Rolls (picture of a man lying on his side, clutching himself, sobbing, and a small puddle of tears forming)

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

All the symbols we designed for Aeon Guard. In the game, each one is formed by a different pattern sequence you trace with your hands. Inspired by art we were surrounded by at the time, with hints of Māori design woven in too.

Snug is a cozy bag packing game inspired by our travels. It’s recently had a surge in players with funny, surprising, and super helpful reviews. We’d love to hear your thoughts on the game too!

Sharing some of the concept art we did in procreate for our little game Snug

Does anyone else use procreate for final game art? What do you think of the process? We find it a bit slow, but also love to be able to make game art anywhere
