Time for another intro post!

We're Studio Hitsuji, an #indiedev team from Oakland, CA and we make whimsical games across PC/mobile/console!

The studio has been around since 2021 and we're trying our very best to hang and continue to #gamedev in there during these turbulent times.
pastel colored cottage scene with flowers, books and various greenery. A marble balances precariously on a leaf in the foreground. a mysterious scene of a grouping of floating islands above a vast ocean sea-scape. the sun glows above a bright horizon, and a purple tower surrounded by small greenery & shrubs is visible in the foreground. poster-style key art for a game project titled "Ancients: transform your commute into a fantastical adventure". The image mixes IRL photography of a person on a train with hand-painted characters throughout the scene. Outside the train window is a fantasy scene with floating islands and flying machinery. chaotic selfie of 7 of the members of "Studio Hitsuji"

In our indie puzzle game, Star Children like you are the only celestial bodies that actually have arms, so it's your responsibility to push all of the stars back into place! 👍 #gamedev #indiedev

In our game, you roll ball, we were inspired by other games where you roll ball

My first #portfolioday on bluesky! I'm Ellen and I'm a concept artist who works on indie games

I have my own indie studio @studiohitsuji.bsky.social but also freelance to help make ends meet so I'm always looking for extra work on the side!

Poster for Studio Hitsuji's Marble Meadows, an upcoming Marble Platformer. Also kind of serves as viz dev work. It's a bunch of marbles sitting on a countertop with a cup of coffee in the corner and vines hanging around the border. One marble sits on the window sill looking out into the meadow. A fictional band for my Solo Dev Rhythm Game/Visual Novel I'm working on in my spare time. Made up of a Frontwoman in gothic attire, with her bandmates behind her. Two guitarists in suits from different time periods, the one on the left is in an old military inspired coat but vampire-like and the one on the right is wearing more modern style menswear but also "make it vampire". They're standing beside the other remaining members, a drummer in an edgy cowboy style shirt and a bassist who's wearing sort of gothic lolita but like a lite version A bird with swords kicking ass and taking names against a rat army. This is for Glass Bottom Games, that's all I'm allowed to say about it (for now) Character designs Studio Hitsuji did with Niantic Inc as a part of the Black Developers Initiative program. Three gooey creatures in the shape of humans float side by side in a character line up. Behind them are a strip of scenery, showing floating islands in the sky and a person riding a flying contraption. Left: Cirrus, Middle: Grandma, Right: Old Man
