I know it’s a weird idea, so here’s a bit of context: I’ve been working as a game designer since 2018, but mid-year my whole department was hit by layoffs. Instead of going after a new position (and risking another layoff given the state of the industry), I decided to bite the bullet and work on my own. It’s a risk, but for the first time I have the freedom to work on something I haven’t seen attempted before.

The game is called My Helpers, and if the gif caught your eye, the full trailer is up on the Steam page!
