Merry Bear

At the end of every summer, I wonder where the hummingbirds go. #gameanimation #indiedev

When building out the world for Merry Bear, sometimes you design puzzle pieces you can rearrange, and sometimes you just just design a patch. #gameart #gamedev

Fruit Punch Fish. #indiedev #gameart

I love the idea of this, but it would constantly distract me from work.

Doing a few more live walkthroughs with creator commentary for Steam Next Fest this week. #steamnextfest #indiedev

I'm streaming the Merry Bear Demo all week for Steam's Next Fest. Tonight at 9p I'll be doing commentary / walkthrough explaining the game, how to play, and some fun facts.

By Light We Loom just released their single for Merry Bear's theme song! We had so much fun working with our lovely and talented friends on this track. Check it out on Spotify and add a little 1960's pop energy to your day :)

What is the juciest fruit? Grapes would probably say grapes. #gameart #indiegamedev

Apple, the gateway fruit juice. #gameart #foodillustration

A lot of splishing and splashing in this area. Animating some water features. #gameanimation #gamedev

Now that the Demo is out and looking lovely, we're chugging away on the remaing levels. I hope you like juice. #indiegamedev #gameart

She did it!

Been a busy week. Merry Bear just needed a little beach time. She wanted to be buried ears to toes, but don’t worry, she’s in there. #indiegame #beach #sandart

Finding Home!
When Merry Bear lands in Orange Valley, she wakes up in front of a vacant a-frame cabin. How convenient. #indiegame #gamedev #gamemaker

Merry Bear was just tickled to meet the entire Cuphead gang at PAX. #cuphead #cosplay #pax #paxeast #gameart

Merry Bear needs to be careful in the caves, especially when jumping over a bus sized hot chocolate. Music by Uno Lady. #indiegame #gamedev #indiegamedev #hocho #hotchocolate

One of the best looking games I’ve ever played. That animation!

Merry Bear was having some trouble finding respect with the Baldur's Gate crowd, then she explained she's in a metroidvania where she can't die. #baldursgate3 #gamedev #indiedev #paxeast25 #metroidvania

I can’t believe how tired I am now that I walked back to the hotel and sat down. Longest four days of my life, in the best way. Thanks #PAXEast2025
