Thank you to everyone who showed up at @vangameconnect.ca for VGX!

We got so much feedback for our demo for Pirouette Princess, and we're so happy to see people enjoying it. There's still a lot of polish to do, but we're hoping for the demo to be available early next year!

We're gonna be at the Vancouver Game Expo run by @vangameconnect.ca !!

Come find us at Table 11, and play the latest, exclusive version of the demo for our current game, Pirouette Princess, a top down bullet-hell shooter!

we just finished a level end screen!
The goal was to look yummy

Lastly, @stellacrows.bsky.social !

She's been hopping in from time to time, but that doesn't mean her work has been any less valuable. You will see her background assets, UI, and level design in Pirouette Princess!

Secondly, our main animator @sariahoward.bsky.social !

Who is also the one making this post right now (hi!) and if you're interacting with any of the FriendRice accounts, you're probably talking to them.

First up, our main coder!

Chris has been working very hard to make sure our newest game, Pirouette Princess, is actually functional. Without him, none of our games would exist.
