These are a few of our favorite pieces of art from Crayontopia. Drawing everything with crayons was extremely challenging, but it was also cool to use them in new ways to try and build an entire world.

Crayons deserve more love!

Someone asked what the default or "canon" name is for the protag in our game. The answer? Name!

Whenever we talk about them, we always refer to them as "Name", with varying pronunciations of that word. Honestly, it feels like a real name now <3

Playtesting our game with the protag named "Dude" and I can't take Ambrose seriously anymore

Shelby and Eleanor want to remind everyone to have a good week - and stay colorful!

We posted a tiny patch and Steam decided to pair it with an image of Shelby and Ambrose looking extremely sad about the whole thing 🥲

I've spent many, many hours playtesting our game and I still get hungry at the bakery scenes

We actually tried making strawberry banana bread at one point and it turned out pretty decent!

We're happy to report that the most commonly earned achievement in our game so far is the one where you have to dig through the trash

Which would you choose? I'm personally leaning toward the first option 🐕

Shelby and Miles want to remind everyone to stay colorful this weekend!

Throwback to when we were testing the name input at the very beginning of our game. You really can name yourself anything 😌

And here we have Camilla, who owns the local general store.

She's a straightforward gal and appreciates folks who are upfront and honest. When she's not running the store or doing handiwork, she loves to create all sorts of art.

Allow us to introduce Miles, who works in the garden alongside Shelby. He also does repairs around town as needed (say what - repairs in a crayon world??)

He's a pro when it comes to tending to the beautiful Crayontopia wax willows.

Next up is Eleanor, the local seamstress. She loves creating fabulous clothes and is always happy to help folks discover their personal style.

She also loves visiting the farm to care for the beloved Crayontopian sheep - that's where she gets her wool, after all.

Next up is Rowan. He's got those muscled arms for a good reason - he's the town baker!

Rowan loves inviting folks to his bakery for classes on making delicious sweet treats. Just remember - he's very protective of his cat, Hazel.

Let's delve into a few of the characters you'll get to meet during your time in Crayontopia!

First up - Shelby, who is there to help guide you when you first awaken in this mysterious world of crayon. Shelby is nonbinary and uses they/them pronouns.

To ensure an authentic experience in our upcoming game, Murder in Crayontopia, every background and character has been hand-drawn with crayon!

We initially considered using digital art, but nothing quite captured the unique texture like real crayon.

Murder in Crayontopia, our very first game, will release in just a couple weeks!

Delve into Crayontopia and experience life in a world of crayon. Step into the role of detective and work with fellow Crayontopians to uncover the truth behind a string of murders that threatens this colorful world.
