A tiny indie game studio founded by two brothers from northern Sweden, dedicated to telling emotionally haunting and impactful stories through games. https://store.steampowered.com/app/2771220
The Tragedy at Deer Creek is 30% off during the Games Made in Sweden event - if you enjoy sad stories and saving a few quid/bucks/spänn then those two things converge between 12th - 26th of July 🗓️
This is how we started out making the cut scenes for The Tragedy at Deer Creek - Part 1: Rotoscoping hell
The Tragedy at Deer Creek, the game my brother and I poured our hearts into, sitting in Steam's "Popular New Releases" just 2 days after launch. We toasted in plain black coffee.☕ 👉https://store.steampowered.com/app/2771220/The_Tragedy_at_Deer_Creek/ Skål!🍻

One of the nice things about being an #indiegamedev from Norrbotten is that you get to be an indie game dev from Norrbotten. View from studio (kitchen table).
Charlotte is the main character in our game, and it’s through her eyes that the player experiences and explores the camp at Deer Creek. Animation by the mighty @biaanimeart.bsky.social #indiegamedev #screenshotsaturday
#indiegamedev isn’t just code and nodes and vectors—it’s also banjo. Testing some ideas for the soundtrack.
Sculpt made in #nomadsculpt of Thomas Adams, a character in our upcoming point-and-click adventure, The Tragedy at Deer Creek. After a series of failed business ventures in the city, he heads to Deer Creek seeking fortune in the lumber industry, unaware of the consequences his ambition will bring.
News from the nest! Rae Lynn Minke Drews will be the voice of our protagonist, Charlotte Gray. Rae will bring The Tragedy at Deer Creek to a whole new level with her brilliant voice acting. We're looking forward to it! #pointandclickadventure #indiegamedev #voiceacting #voiceover #bodengamecamp
Character concept art, sculpted in #nomadsculpt later to be retopologized in Blender and animated in a pixel art style. Love doing this stuff.
