Game design meme for me and maybe three other people on this site.

Guy looking at random encounters: "Wow! RPGs are grindy!"
Text overhead: "Random encounters help ensure that the the play experiences combat at regular intervals instead of avoiding fights and ending up underpowered, increasing the risk of quitting entirely."

KO_OP: 🪐 Wishlist Young Suns on Steam! @ko-op.com · 10/09/2026

An important update from KO_OP.

With great sadness and respect, over the next few months KO_OP will be saying goodbye to 13 members of our team. This decision was made to ensure the survival of the studio, and we deeply regret its necessity and the negative impact on our colleagues’ lives.

KO_OP has been making games for nearly a decade and a half, and our project funding has primarily come from publishers and platform partners. The games funding landscape has changed radically over the last few years, and unlike previous project cycles, this time we have been unable to secure funding for new projects while developing our current engagements.

As with all our company's operational decisions, this one was made democratically, and was motivated by the survival of the studio rather than maximizing profits. Our members are regularly updated on our cash flow situation, and were made aware of this upcoming shortfall well in advance. Membership then appointed a group to plan for this eventuality, and ratified their recommendations. Team leads and our elected executives will also be impacted by these reductions. We believe this level of transparency and accountability ought to be a minimum requirement for all organizations.

Young Suns will be reaching new platforms, with new content and features. We're all tremendously proud of it, and hope it will find its audience. Our bylaws ensure that any profits from Young Suns will still be shared with impacted team members. Our goal now is to develop new game concepts and prototypes while continuing to support Young Suns. In the event that we secure funding in the coming months, our intent is to rehire as many of our colleagues as possible.

In the coming days we will be sharing a list of impacted workers in the hopes of helping them find new work. We thank you for your support.

I've noticed that I've become a bit hesitant to show the games & tools I'm working on. I'm often afraid that they will be stolen (especially because of AI), or that a cheap copy will appear before I've been able to finish them. Does anyone else share this feeling?

Lastly, Raboot is for Headmaster. A VR game where you headbutt soccer balls. Although Raboot is kicking instead of headbutting, it still felt like an appropriate fit. store.steampowered.com/app/621010/H...

Totodile is there for none other than Skator Gator 3D, a game where you play as a spunky skateboarding alligator trying to save your swamp. Felt like a perfect fit for Totodile. store.steampowered.com/app/1996470/...

Psyduck is for BAPBAP, but more specifically our character Chuck. This was a tricky one since the game has so many characters, but Chuck is basically the most iconic. store.steampowered.com/app/2226280/...

Delphox and its signature wand are for YAPYAP, a friendslop game where you cast spells using your voice and various wands in the game. (This was almost Mismagius for more of a wizardy vibe, but I liked Delphox having a wand). store.steampowered.com/app/3834090/...
