I was getting bummed out by a game I’d been working on in my off-hours for a long time, so perplamps suggested a little game jam to get my mind in a better place. We started out with an idea about you being an office worker trying to steal office supplies undetected- but we quickly realized that wasn’t very fun.

By that time we realized this lack of fun…ness in the original idea, we had already gotten a little office together, so we thought about what other office-based games we could make. Somewhere between “Algorithmic Stock Trading Tycoon” and “Office Farting Party”, we came up with the idea that you’re the office’s IT person and you need to fix everyone’s broken computers, reset passwords, and all the boring stuff we imagine IT people do (neither of us have ever been IT people).



We then started thinking of more crazy things the IT person could deal with, like fires and robots. With enough crazy stuff going on and a dash of management sim gameplay, we felt pretty good about the game concept as a whole.



I guess we felt good enough about it for me to decide to quit my day job and work on it full time!

We were bad babbies for the first couple months and didn’t do the whole devlog thing, but I have been posting a lot of WIP stuff to my Twitter and promise to make devlogs religiously from now on.
