Heya! Look at our game Clever Girls:
It's like reverse Jurassic Park! You play as dinosaurs that break out of their enclosures on a remote island.

It's a 3D turn-based tactical RPG / VN with colorful characters and relationship-management mechanics with an all-female cast. Wishlist it on Steam!
The third (and final) part of Sawyer's character profile post is out! Featuring concepts + design notes! There's this expression collage, too!

You might also find out some tidbits about what's coming next for the demo and the full game. 👀🦖

We did some painting to make one of the demo's most requested changes. Sawyer's switched to decaf!

"I figured there’s probably a big interest in dinosaurs that extends beyond having them be these big murder creatures."

@alyssawejebe.bsky.social talks to @ossifragegames.bsky.social about their upcoming tactical RPG/visual novel starring sapphic dinosaurs, Clever Girls:
Dinosaurs On the Run in Clever Girls - Unwinnable
"I definitely don’t want the fact that they’re dinosaurs to be lost in how I write them, but I do like the idea of them being taught to think like people."

Part 2 of Sawyer's character profile series is up! (It's like the first one, except it has completely different stuff inside!)

This time we chat about Sawyer's tactical battle role and some juicy character interaction dynamics...

Wanna read about dinosaurs? This dinosaur, specifically!

We've posted the first entry in our Character Profiles series featuring Sawyer, the leader of the pack in Clever Girls! Check it out for some dino details. More parts to be posted soon! #clevergirls

Hey all! Thanks for following the Clever Girls project! We've been blown away by the response to the demo, which has exceeded our expectations by far. It's been so gratifying to see the characters...

We've discovered a crash that's fairly common when an enemy in the second phase of the second battle takes their turn under certain conditions. Working on a hotfix!

DINOSAURS REAL!!! Demo release date: August 7th!

The Clever Girls DEMO will be playable on Steam Aug. 7th! We're calling it a "Dress Rehearsal", so it won't have every mechanic the full game will, but it should have enough for you to find out if you're interested! #clevergirls

We made our dinos look at whatever the player targets! Really makes them feel more lifelike, no?

Just answered a very interesting question on our development blog! (Did you know we have a development blog?) It concerns the "player character" and relationship systems. And also, another Prati sketch.

Hello, main thing I want to ask is due to the apparent relationship angle of the game. Are we meant to pick a character, or are a specified one (Sawyer?). And if that is the case, the question is on.....

We’re polishing up our UI, VFX, and other little details in order to make the stealth and enemy knowledge systems intuitive (without overloading the player with information)

Getting closer to a demo release, bit by bit!

The simple game dev joy of adding new foliage models to the terrain and then going “ooh” and “aah” at all your outdoor levels. 🌱

The demo for Clever Girls is coming along! We're currently working on polishing up our battle UI. We just added rebind-aware control prompts, that can also detect if you switch between gamepad or mouse+keyboard.

We’ve been working on replacing our rough, early animations for our upcoming demo. Big improvement, don’t you think?

Apart from battles, much of the player's time in Clever Girls will be spent exploring abandoned, decaying places, marveling at the wonders the humans left behind.
