Hi 👋, I make games under ALL DAY ALL NIGHT, a small mom-and-pop dev shop I run with my partner, @riker.itch.io. Previously, I co-founded the award-winning African studio @nyamakop.co.za​.
Started working on a new prototype. It's loosely based off an old 2018 jam game about mowing lawns.

IKEELYA found it's way to top of the Top Shooter page on @itch.io. Initially we couldn't understand the sudden up tick in downloads, followers, and comments. 😍

We got to showcase IKEELYA at @amazefest.bsky.social Berlin and had the best time watching so many people play and fall in love with our demo.
Thanks so much to @wingsfund.me for the nomination! 💙💛

Another indie gem I already had on my list is Ikeelya! An intriguing combination between a Where's Waldo hitman sim and interior decorating cosy game. @sugarbycukia.xyz and @riker.itch.io have melded the two distant genres very well. This might be my new cozy game.

Woke up a few days ago to messages telling me @gamegrumps.bsky.social played IKEELYA! Still can't believe our silly cozy violent game made it onto their channel. Here's a thread of my fav comments on the video.

Been deep diving into choices in narrative games with a little project called: Between the Lines, where you volunteer at a College Support Hotline and unravel a queer coming out story

Hey! I’m looking for a 3D animator to help with 60 seconds of animations for a rhythm game. It’s a toy floating in 3D, doing physical interactions (no hands). If you’re great with stylized mechanical movements and know Unity, hit me up! Something like this 👇

Currently working on *Between the Lines*, a dialogue puzzle game where you answer the phone at a crisis helpline and guide callers through a tough time.

It was such a treat waking up the other day to see a lovely article about IKEELYA on Polygon. After spending a year working on the prototype, it’s so rewarding to see it getting some love. 🖤

Indie game Ikeelya dares to ask: What if an assassin loved designing breakfast nooks?

Hi 👋, new here. I make video games under ALL DAY ALL NIGHT, a small mom-and-pop dev shop I run with my partner, Riker. We just dropped our first prototype, IKEELYA on @itch.io. You play a hitman with a secret passion for interior design.
