All the characters in Mother’s Little Helper, a horror cooking game, will be made by hand. We’re currently finalizing the photogrammetry pipeline! #gamedev #indiegame #horrorgame #horror #cookinggame #indiehorror #photogrammetry #horrorshowcase

Research is so important! Especially if you want your game to feel like a specific point in time. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #indiehorror #horrorgame #cookinggame #motherslittlehelper #horror #design #research

POTATO PEOPLE!! It’s so satisfying when your designs start to come to life. I can’t wait for everything to keep evolving and coming together. What cooking activity would you be most excited to see in a horror cooking game? #gamedev #indiedev #horrorgame #cookinggame #gamedesign #indiehorror

Mom needs a hand! I’m making her one, and eventually you’ll be able to give her one too. Mother’s Little Helper, a horror cooking game is full of chores that mom needs you to take care of. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #indiehorror #horrorgames #horrorshowcase #gamedevelopment #art

A city‑builder where progress depends on your people skills.
You don’t just place buildings—you convince quirky townsfolk to move in, gossip with them, and juggle their complaints until your metropolis grows.

Game dev is filled with constant learning and challenges. Learning rigging is made a little easier cause I rigged in 2D for years, but applying that knowledge to a whole new program is A LOT. Deep breaths and baby steps. We’ve got this fellow devs. #gamedev #indiedame #rigging #learning

In Mother’s Little Helper, a horror cooking game about intergenerational family trauma, 2D representations of dad start with ink! Cause it’s such a grown up medium. Things that represent the player ( a child) will start with crayon. #indiegame #gamedev #horrorgame #cookinggame #handmade

This is the first of 3 mom head sculpts. It’s also her most neutral face. Eventually all three will be scanned into the computer and we’ll be able to blend between them to reflect her mood. #gamedev #indiegame #horrorgame #cookinggame #handmade

Setting up the tech art pipeline isn’t the most fun (for me), but DANG it feels good to see things start to come together. #gamedev #indiegames #horrorgame #cookinggame #techart
