OUR STORY
We are from Poland. In the ‘90s, when we were kids, stores were empty and power outages common. In the evenings there was nothing else to do but light up a candle and draw. So we drew A LOT. And invented our own board and card games.
When I was 15 we finally got our first computer. My sister learned to program. In a games magazine, I read about a graphic tablet and wanted one desperately. The cheapest one cost $140 which was a lot for my family. I went everywhere on foot to save up my bus money and after 4 months I bought it.
I became good enough to get a few gigs drawing art for mobile games. In my free time, I learned 3D modeling. Meanwhile, my sister got a job as a programmer working on software for libraries.
But we always knew we wanted to create our own stuff.
On Christmas 2017 we visited our mom for a few weeks. We had lots of free time so we had this idea to make a very small game. We wanted to finish it in three days. We brainstormed. I wanted something with cats and my sister loves winter.
We made a snowy island and hid cats there. The task for the player was to look around and find them.
We kept adding islands and 3 months later we published our first game.
