Today we're returning Brisk, Brash, and Tank to their true RGB states to reflect the color theory game we are making ❤️💚💙

Early on we got critique that the chamelegoons were "too colorful". That enemies that were supposed to be sneaky should be redesigned darker to be more "ninja-like". It felt like coloring our game pastel was radical, even shocking to some, particularly our male dev peers. So, we toned it down but it never felt right 😮‍💨

In rebuilding Squirrely Roo Rabbit, we're unapologetically making the game we want to make 💪 Our game will be pastel, the Chamelegoons will be RGB, and the bosses will be CMYK. Yes, a magenta boss battle is coming your way 💕 To color everywhere! 🥂

Thanks to everyone who came out to both of our programs at Enoch Pratt Free Library this week! 💞

We're thinking of turning the workshop into a series in the spring for their other branches! What do you think? Would you come learn about game design by making a game with us?

We forgot to get pictures during the workshop portion! 🙈 Thankfully, we got these at the talk by taking them before we started just so we wouldn't forget! 🤪😝

Coming up at 1 today, we'll be talking about our experience as women in games at Enoch Pratt Library! 👩‍🏫

Interested in why more voices in games is a win for all of us? And how we can tell this simply by the evolution of the modern video game? 🤔

Come listen! 👂🎶

MAGICWestMD's Good Game Fest, running November 4th-6th, is new to our line up this year! After seeing us at TooManyGames, one of GGF's organizer invited us and may also even be responsible for giving us our buggest booth of the year! 👀👀👀 We can't wait to see how it turns out! 🙌

We’re also excited for this to become part of our annual line-up as it promotes the ideas in gaming we love: comradery, positivity, accessiblility, and learning! ❤️‍🔥

Head out to Westminster for games, art, workshops, and more!
