Day 8 of an extra special daily doodle for @capycastaway.com's launch on August 6th, since it's 1 WEEK till launch and ALSO my partner Pat and I's anniversary today!!! ❤️ Fun facts: - I modelled Capy and Corvi, and Pat textured them! - We built lego roses today! #art
Day 7 of a dev doodle a day before @capycastaway.com launches August 6th, and since I drew those grubdogs the other day and ALL THE HOT TOPIC PIKMIN MERCH NEAR ME IMMEDIATELY SOLD OUT I have taken the pikmin fanart into my own hands I honestly love Corvimin and Capychi #art #devdoodle
Day 6 of drawin a lil doodle every day to promote our game @capycastaway.com launching August 6th but I cheated A LITTLE (or was I INSPIRED??) by this swole Corvi I drew during a meeting & someone asked 'how is Corvi able to physically carry Capy??' the answer is GAINS and ANIME #art #devdoodle
Day 5 of posting a little doodle every day until @capycastaway.com comes out August 6th, a 'what if they switched roles, and Corvi was actually a big chill bird, and Capy was a yappy little capybara???' #art
Day 4 of posting a doodle every day until our game @capycastaway.com comes out on August 6th, and today we watched an episode of the 2017 Nirvana the Band the Show and reminisced in the nostalgia of the old streetcars and how I would have been a NEWLY GRADUATED UNIVERSITY STUDENT AT THIS TIME
Day 3 of posting a little doodle for our game @capycastaway.com that comes out in 13 DAYS. Since it's Jazz Fest in the beaches this weekend, and we have so many playable instruments in the game, it just made sense to (try) and draw something jazz themed
Today's daily doodle for our game @capycastaway.com that comes out in 14 days, a small comic where Corvi overhears some gossiping swallows and is promptly ignored #art #gamedev #devdoodles
Every day up until our launch in TWO WEEKS on AUGUST 6th, I'm going to post a silly little doodle to promote our game @capycastaway.com. Today also just happens to be the day that our Makeship petition goes live!!! www.makeship.com/petitions/ca...
Of course, we also love Jimothy here in Canada! (And of course, I also had to draw some fanart) 🦝 #art
Haha, getting 3 million wishlists for @capycastaway.com would be insane, right!!!! .....................unless..?
This @torontogamesweek.com has been a blast! It’s been great getting to meet people, connect through the Game Dev Passport, show off behind-the-scenes, and showcase our demo— and if you didn’t catch it in-person, you can play the @capycastaway.com demo RIGHT NOW as part of #SteamNextFest! #TGW26
One of the OTHER many things I did this year was make the keyart and help make colour palettes for HYPER DETONATOR! 💥 You can also play the demo for it RIGHT NOW, as part of #SteamNextFest!
Hear me out: a french Capy Castaway sequel set in Montreal called Marsupial Mystérieux
I'm still thinking about this woman's chicken bag from the XP Summit party
Some more highlights from @torontogamesweek.com opening night, foreshadowed exhausted selfy before the @kittencupstudio.bsky.social Tea Party on Saturday 🥴
The weather is beautiful and we’re all set up at the malting silos for the Giant Video Games opening party!! @torontogamesweek.com @kittencupstudio.bsky.social @capycastaway.com
This is something I've been thinking of for a while now!! Every time we go to a games event, I collect a big stack of business cards, and I find it overwhelming to sort through/try and keep track of time-sensitive follow-ups. I wanted to make something fun, easy to carry, and helpful for that! ✨
Woah, I worked on both of these!! mobilesyrup.com/2026/06/09/c...
Trying hard to not tune into any of the Nintendo Direct news yet until my partner is back from an appointment but I just want to share I've been noodling on a LoZ: OoT comic inspired by the short sci fi story Needle in a Timestack that I'm excited for
Another fantastic Wholesome Direct this year!! So many new games I'm excited to add to my wishlist and try the demos for 💖Thanks again to @wholesomegames.com for commissioning me for this year's keyart, I loved trying out a new style for this year's foresty forage theme 🍄💚 #WD26
