How we build a Fractured Library level:
1) Pick a mood
2) add a secret
3) remove 40% of the words so it’s still a game
Rinse, repeat, pretend it was intentional.

Each character in Fractured Library has to have an opinion on any other character they meet in the game. Even if they never show it in game, their personalities are so inegral to the world that I need that background info to help shape it around them.

Can we please put our hands together for a moment to celebrate Lee who has been working his absolute butt off on the Howling Woods re-vamp AND remembering to post on socials?
Like, what a champion and I feel bad for anyone who doesn't have a Lee in their dev team.

The first game we ever released is getting an uplift in 2026.
The re-cursed edition of The Curse of the Howling Woods will be back with more story, an updated look and a whole lot more weirdness.

After speaking to a new game dev friend, I’ve realized that so many of our origin stories are eerily similar.
I’d love to hear what lead you to game dev. You know.. for science.

I watched a video that talked about how reading fiction actually helps develop empathy, and it changed my brain chemistry so much I had to make a game about it.
And that’s how one of the themes of fractured library was created 🤷♀️

Is anyone setting aside gaming time for themselves over the holidays? Tell me what you're playing!
Personally, I think I'll be retreating back into my old fav (Skyrim) because I need the chill this time of year haha.

Jonsey is still recovering from surgery and really isn’t happy with his cone, but is happy that he can be out of his crate to enjoy some sun.
He’s going in for a check up soon, we’re sad to have to disturb him when he’s so peaceful 🥲
