We released our first playable demo to a small group of internal testers! Wooo! We wanted to get feedback much earlier in the project’s life cycle than we did for previous games, to help determine which design choices work, and which features may need to be scrapped or retooled. We’re also trying to involve a broader range of […]

If you’ve been following our social media, you’ll have seen us posting pictures of trees, birds, and other things that aren’t guinea pigs for the past few months. Today, we’re excited to give you all a first peek at our brand new, in-development project, Wild LIVE. Like Guinea Pig Bridge, it’s […]

They were created by the multi-talented Erica Holcomb, and […]

]]> Saying Goodbye to Ruuo https://explorasaur.us/2021/07/saying-goodbye-to-ruuo/ Wed, 14 Jul 2021 17:15:36 +0000 https://explorasaur.us/?p=1247 If you follow us on Twitter or Instagram, you’ll have noticed that we post just as many photos of our studio cat, Ruuo (pronounced ROO-OH), as we do of our work. Throughout the past two and a half years, she’s been a constant companion during rough times, and softly coercive taskmaster keeping us pinned to our desk chairs. On monday, July 12th 2021, Ruuo lost her battle with Chronic Kidney Disease and passed at home […]

One change, apparent now from our website, is that Chad Sutton, our new artist and roommate, decided in October to move back to Michigan. We were sad to see him go (the cat […]

We were thrilled to find out that we’d been accepted as panellists for 2020.  In an alternate dimension, right now we would be packing our bags for New Zealand. Instead, we’re stuck in the timeline that’s got secret police and uncontrollable viruses, so… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯  Like many of this year’s events, though, […]

You can read the full interview here. It was great to look back at some of the design decisions we made for the game, and nice to get some press on the game after […]
