We're a two person team making games, participating in game jams, making silly little prototypes, and hopefully spreading joy along the way.

Our projects are always DRM Free, open source, and Linux first.

We've been working on a cute in-game UI notebook! It still has some wonk but it's coming along nicely.

First pass at some butterflies today! It's pretty challenging to animate them with so little pixels to work with, but they turned out pretty nice.

The Wandering Door Games Tools We Use page. There is a purple banner with the text "Tools We Use / The open source tools we use in our FOSS development" at the top. Below that are little cards for each tool with an appropriate icon, the tool name, and a short description.

A first look at our next big project!

We've got some cute pixel art, animations, and a nifty object-based outliner.

In this week's log we talk about our simple yet effective slime trail for The Dissolver!

Are you really a slime if you don't leave a trail?

This week we talk about how we tried to get that slime jiggle just right. It worked out, mostly.

Here's a fun little update on our Godot remake of The Chamber Crowd.

We added a custom colour picker so you can change the colours of the targets, non-targets, or the ball!

Hurrah for micro performance boosts!

Spent the better part of Sunday fixing up our URLs and how our embeds show up for our website.

They look much better now! You can actually see where the link takes you.

So Little Slime got 5th overall in the #StopKillingGames community jam!

We also placed 2nd in the end-of-life plan category which we're especially pleased about since that's a huge part of why we make games.

Congratulations to everyone who participated! It was a fun one!

We received quite a bit of positive feedback on our slime sounds for So Little Slime, so we wanted to make them easier for others to grab. They're now up on Open Game Art!

We recently updated two of our games to have proper credits in the games themselves, which we should have been doing from the start. Whoops.

Our last two jam games will be updated in the same way once their judging periods are over.

In today's log we chat about how we added visual score feedback for Satellite Bash!

It's always nice to know how much havoc you cause, numerically.

Wrapped up our #KenneyJam entry this morning!

It was our first time doing a game jam this short.

As usual, the game is totally #OpenSource!

Just look at those cute lil' ships!

Just submitted our entry for the #StopKillingGames community jam!

We made "So Little Slime", a game where you must crush an army of skeletons before you run out of slime.

Our latest log entry talks about how we initially generated stars for Satellite Bash.

Of course you could just use a static background image, but where's the fun in that?
