✨ BIG ANNOUNCEMENT! ✨

We're exhibiting at GDEX AGAIN this year!

We took every response from 2024 have worked toward implementing fixes for this year's build. It is still a vertical slice, so game content is subject to change.

More coming soon!

A small prototype for our game's dual-dialogue segment. Figma can bring out the worst in us, yeah? 😂

(In-game dialogue is not official. Our designer just used Harold to channel her anger.)

Trying to cheer up Our Town's Donovan the construction worker with a more...cheerful approach to the year. 😅

Updates will be slow as we're still figuring things out, but not to worry, Our Town is still under production. We're a small team who's starting out in their first business so at times our attention is required outside of game development.

Hang tight, there's more to come!

A wonderful weekend at GDEX this year! To have such an incredible support system to keep us motivated and determined, this demo wouldn't be possible without them.

We're thankful for everyone who's stopped by our booth to witness our hard work firsthand. 🥰

Hey everyone, thank you for being patient.

Within the last couple of weeks we have been working on the game that we left you all here with radio silence.

We'll be taking a small break but we have more things to share with you all soon!

Being a self-employed detective can be exhausting!

One way you can write tomorrow's paper is choosing pre-written stories stowed away in your filing cabinet. Learn more about the town's history and fun quirks and raise your affinity with the residents. Or speedrun your job. 🤡

Fish Truck Studios is taking a tour of the town, while our photographer risks their life hanging out the window to get these scenic shots. 📸

From the lively downtown to cozy neighborhoods, the community here is alive and welcoming...

Happy Labor Day! 👷🚧

Donovan's taken off to the diner as usual for breakfast and plans to clean his home to prepare for the autumn season.

(Rumor has it he makes a spankin' good apple pie!)

Martin was ecstatic we stopped by for some pictures today! He also wanted to share some mockups of how his parents came up with the diner's design.

When we were done, he tried to get us to stay for his in-progress music... It was very interesting.

It's not a mockup until there's some doodles astray :)

What are some things you like to doodle? 👀

✨He's what makes our town possible.✨

Constantly working without complaints, his refuge in the diner is well-deserved. Martin lets him stay as long as he needs. In return, a gracious tip is left on the table.

Well, it's time for a formal introduction, please give a warm welcome to Donovan! 👏🏼
