Howdy! My wife and I are a pair of animators by trade but have since worked in video games before having kids. Our first children were 13 adorable chickens we adopted. Chicken Tenders has been an idea we’ve wanted to make for years and finally have the giblets to do it! 💪 Follow us for updates and give us a like and follow! 🐓

If you've popped into Blokhaven and heard that iconic sax player in the town square, then you may be surprised to know that the sax line was played by none other than the creator himself, Lucas Martell! 🎷
Blokhaven's out NOW on VR platforms, so get in on the playful fun!
Lots of really fun/challenging problems with such a simple course made something beautiful!
Meet the playful shopkeepers, builders and entertainers who inhabit the seaside settlement of Blokhaven! 🟥🟦🟨

Tech Artists:
You live between the pixels and the code, the pretty and the performant.
And if it all works…
Nobody notices.
If it breaks?
Everyone notices.
I did an interview recently with Chris who also agrees its so cool to be a fan of both the art and the music respectfully on this game. Often its not till the end where we each get to admire the final product. ♥️ youtube.com/watch?v=80364CPr…
