Ash 🎮🐰🎨

I'm Ash (she/her)! 👋 I'm the game designer, writer, & a founder of @bobastudios.bsky.social, an #IndieDev team creating a 2.5D, story-based, puzzle-adventure game about cute animals & color theory! 🐇🎨 Formally on the @igdadc.bsky.social board but based in Baltimore 🦀 #WhatAGameDevLooksLike

If you know me, you know I love cute/pretty fun drinks, & that I can't stand the taste of alcohol or coffee 🤢 Yet somehow those are the only drinks anyone wants to dress up 🙃😭 So, places like this that make special drinks with tea, juice, or, hell, even just milk hold a special place in my heart 😋💞

Visit nofutureclass.com which was made with the help of @mattieboombattie.bsky.social to see the graduates Geoff purged from his website and would prefer people forgot about

Come see us! 🏃‍♀️ (and bring ice cream 🤪)

On this day 10 years ago, all the pieces fell into place in one 6-hour class period, and the game Squirrely Roo Rabbit was born! 🐿🦘🐇 HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SQUIRRELY ROO! 🎂💝🎈

For the midway point of our 10 days of anniversary facts, we wanted to take us back to Boba Studios first-ever official photoshoot! 📸 #TeamPhoto #Photoshoot #SmallBusiness #Entrepreneurship #StartUp

If we hadn't just moved, I'd have shared a comparison shot with today's set-ups 🤪 But you'll have to wait until after we paint and decorate the walls 😝

I know it's hot, but come see us! It's the last First Friday Art Walk of the Summer! 🎉

Someone told me today that we should do consulting for other game devs. I love sharing the tips and tricks we learned starting up because we don't all need to be starting from scratch every time. What do you guys think? 🤔

The concept art of the firefly forest in level 3 is still one of my favorite pieces of art from making this game! 🌌🤩

Come back each day this week as we share fun facts & memories about our beginnings and the year that changed our lives! 🥳 ♡Ash & Kyrstin #IndieGame #GameDev #MadeWithUnity #MICAmade #WomenInGames

Happy birthday, Squirrely Roo! 🥹💞 I can't believe it's been 10 years! And I can't believe all the places we've been, people we've met, and things we've done because of you what your journey has done for us! 🤯🙈 You're our #1 gal! 🔥☝️🐰

Alright, Baltimore! A new gaming conference is at our very own convention center! 🎮🎲🕹 It seems that most people don't realize how many game studios are here in our city—even though there are a TON—so, let's show 'em about the gaming hub we are! 💪 #GameYourFuture #IndieGame #StoryGame #WomenInGames

Solo devs and very small teams often have this inherent cringe about the idea of making people pay $20 or $10 or even $5 for their little game and I can't emphasize enough how much you have to grab that cringing impulse within yourself and strangle it to death

Our booth neighbor at Playthrough Con this weekend, @tincanpaint.bsky.social, gifted us this Roodle yesterday! 🥹 Look how cutie this Roo is! 😭💞 #FanArt #Doodle #DoodlyRoo #Roodle #Illustration #Illustrator

📢 Playthrough booth (#331) deals! Snap a pic of our 'Caught Ya!' doodle hidden at our booth to get 10% your purchase this weekend! 🛍 For each in-person con sale of Squirrely Roo Rabbit's OST, get a bonus mini-print! Don't wait to get it online at home! 🖼🎶 #PTHYPE #IndieGame #VGM #OST #Deals
