A screenshot from the development of the game Clever Girls. It features the Utahraptor Sawyer, with a before and after image. Sawyer's eye texture has been adjusted to be less bewildered.

We did some painting to make one of the demo's most requested changes. Sawyer's switched to decaf!

Dinosaurs On the Run in Clever Girls - Unwinnable "I definitely don’t want the fact that they’re dinosaurs to be lost in how I write them, but I do like the idea of them being taught to think like people."

"I figured there’s probably a big interest in dinosaurs that extends beyond having them be these big murder creatures."

@alyssawejebe.bsky.social talks to @ossifragegames.bsky.social about their upcoming tactical RPG/visual novel starring sapphic dinosaurs, Clever Girls:

Part 2 of Sawyer's character profile series is up! (It's like the first one, except it has completely different stuff inside!)

A screenshot of the game Clever Girls. Daisy, a large dinosaur, has tears in her eyes. She is crying over a broken wooden camp mascot standee. The dialogue in the image reads "Nooo! He kept the forest safe! His slogan could even make the humans behave..."

Also, check out a screenshot of a VN event that was previously disabled due to a bug. See if you can find in the new build!

A visual-novel style screenshot from the game Clever Girls. Prati and Shade, two dinosaurs, are speaking. Prati looks shocked. Shade looks smug. The dialogue in the image reads as such: SHADE: "There are skeletons within all of us, Prati. Us dinosaurs should be especially aware of this."

DINOSAURS REAL!!! Demo release date: August 7th!

The Clever Girls DEMO will be playable on Steam Aug. 7th! We're calling it a "Dress Rehearsal", so it won't have every mechanic the full game will, but it should have enough for you to find out if you're interested! #clevergirls

A colorful ornithomimid stands on the snout of a much larger yellow-green and orange megalosaurid, reaching up to the top of a warehouse shelf to grab a plush ceratopsian. In the foreground, a dromaeosaurid struggles and fails to jump to reach the same plushies.

Concept art for Clever Girls !

We made our dinos look at whatever the player targets! Really makes them feel more lifelike, no?

Clever Girls Development Blog Hello, main thing I want to ask is due to the apparent relationship angle of the game. Are we meant to pick a character, or are a specified one (Sawyer?). And if that is the case, the question is on.....

Just answered a very interesting question on our development blog! (Did you know we have a development blog?) It concerns the "player character" and relationship systems. And also, another Prati sketch.

We’re polishing up our UI, VFX, and other little details in order to make the stealth and enemy knowledge systems intuitive (without overloading the player with information)

Getting closer to a demo release, bit by bit!

The simple game dev joy of adding new foliage models to the terrain and then going “ooh” and “aah” at all your outdoor levels. 🌱

They've got places to be! 🐊🐔🛶

Apart from battles, much of the player's time in Clever Girls will be spent exploring abandoned, decaying places, marveling at the wonders the humans left behind.

Heya! Look at our game Clever Girls:
It's like reverse Jurassic Park! You play as dinosaurs that break out of their enclosures on a remote island.

It's a 3D turn-based tactical RPG / VN with colorful characters and relationship-management mechanics with an all-female cast. Wishlist it on Steam!
