Eggnog Incorporated
The Game
Eggnog Incorporated was our first steam game. It was made using the Construct 3 game engine over the course of a few months. Development started in October 2020 and wrapped up in January 2021.
In this game, you play as an eggnog inspector. You are tasked with finding inconsistencies and errors with the packaging, ingredients, color, and many other elements. All the while, a whacky, and perhaps, unethical CEO gives you increasingly suspicious requests after work hours. Your actions affect your work environment, and can even cause you to find a different job or doom the world.
There are many endings and many different office layouts to explore.

Assorted Game Jam Games
The Mission
Outside of our main projects, we also enjoy participating in game jams. Specifically the ludum dare game jam where indie developers from all around the world spend a weekend making a new game from scratch. Each game jam has a different theme that helps inspire and inform game design. In addition to meeting lots of fantastic developers and artists, we get to experiment with new concepts and genres which is instrumental for creating unique games.
The Games
Below The Stone Jam - "Toaster Treasure."
2d Platformer with static hazards and a variety of unlockable upgrades.
This game was our first game jam. It was developed by Viktor & Will with the help of outside voice acting from Danotoast and Lukovichs. The jam took place over a 7 day period.
Ludum Dare 46 - "Keep Dano Alive"
Isometric game centered around farming & combining ingredients.
