Cute, thoughtful, and creative describes both our team and our games.

A game character on one side of a paper drags a block, the paper is then flipped over and folded so that the character and the block fall onto the other side of the paper.
One cartoon world rendered in cooler colours folded over another cartoon world lit in warm colours. A cartoon woman rendered in warm colours stands on a purple platform and looks from the cool world into the warm world where unfriendly looking shapes stand on other purple platforms.
The left side of the image shows a cartoon man rendered in warm colours. He looks like he has a dark 5:00 shadow. In the centre of the image is a screenshot of a DataTransfer modifier in blender attached to the mesh with the shadow. It has a vertex group set for its edge vertices and targets the mesh that it wants to have continuous normals with. The right side of the image shows the same cartoon man, but the beard-like shadow is gone.
A cartoon office lit by a sunset. There are lineups of characters standing at different angles to demonstrate lighting.
Tree nearly identical images of a cartoon woman stand in a forest environment to demonstrate blob shadows. In the leftmost image, there is no shadow and she appears to float above the ground. In the centre image, there is a circular shadow projected on the ground underneath her. It is clear that she is on or close to the ground, but she still feels a bit disconnected from the environment. The rightmost images shows the same circular shadow, but additional (much smaller and darker) shadows are on the ground where her feet make contact. It is clear that she is standing on the ground and that her feet are pressing on it.
A cartoon woman drawn with warm colours and round shapes sits perched atop the words A Fold Apart. A cartoon man drawn with cool colours and hard edges sits perched on the other end. The both look relaxed and are holding their phones. Two heart-shaped word bubbles come out of each phone and merge in the middle. The text reads: Distance means so little when someone means so much.
A blue cartoon man wearing a blue suit and gold tie looks out of a round airplane window. Instead of a face, he has many smaller faces laid out in a grid patter. Stark red letters paint the title: A Fold Apart
The Unity editor view of some apartment buildings atop floating islands with very bright lights and a giant heart floating in the air nearby. The lighting is vivid and the bloom is extreme. It is pretty, but it might hurt your eyes if you stare for too long. Some elements of the image have been censored with a pixel distortion filter. There's probably no reason for that.
An orange cartoon woman throws both fists in the air, celebrating something great. There is a blue explosion behind her. She is very happy about it all.
A blue cartoon woman with square glasses makes a face that indicates something bad has happened and then slams their face on the desk.
A blue cartoon woman with square features smiles at the camera, her eyes are closed, and she is adjusting her square glasses. She looks very pleased with herself.
A blue cartoon woman with square features screaming and holding her hands against her face. The background has purple streaks in the same direction her body is lurching in order to emphasize the scream.
A blue cartoon woman with square feature and square glasses typing furiously on a keyboard. Her hands are motion blurred and orange sparks are flying out of the keyboard.
A blue, cartoon, woman, with square angular features, and square glasses, tilts her head to the side and looks quizzically at the camera. Two large question marks float next to her head.
