I’ve developed a new mental trick where anytime I don’t wanna eat leftovers, I imagine a fake food influencer in my mind making a viral version of my leftovers and all of a sudden they’re all I wanna eat

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.

Encounter screen from Thousand Hells: The Underworldd Heists.

Where Exactly?

Up On Himor
Talk to Plague Victims
Talk to a GossipDialogue in Thousand Hells: The Underworld Heists.

The part is at camp, discussing the murdered princes by the hand of their uncle.

"He's not going to be very happy when they show up again."

"I believe the queen is thinking as a mother, not a power player."Three-headed spirit of a white haired woman expressing anger, fear and pain.A slight blue cave surrounded by mushrooms. A grey hairy beast with wing stands at the front.

did some silly lil doodles of my current Stardew Valley and Fields of Mistria OCs hehe ❤️ Ivy is a reluctant farmer returning to the family business after failing to hold down a desk job, and Dali is a magic researcher from the city who loves discovering new things!
Two original characters side by side. The character on the left is named Ivy and uses she/her pronouns. She has long green hair tied into two messy braids, and has a disgruntled and tired expression on her face. She is wearing a straw hat and green overalls over a white shirt. The character on the right is named Dali, and they use she/they pronouns. She has short side swept dark purple hair with an undercut and red eyes, and has a happy grin on her face. They are wearing earrings and a collared magenta shirt, and they are also surrounded by sunflowers.

Birthday art of Quinn drawn like an Umbrella Performer from the Brolly Good Show minigame in Rhythm Heaven Groove. Quinn is a white bipedal cat with big ears, brown hair, and a tail with a star on it. They're wearing big round glasses, a teal shirt with a white WiFi symbol and a purple skirt. Their hair connects upward to become the pole of the umbrella, which is cyan and white with a yellow top. The background is light cyan patterned in repeating picnic pattern squares.

Apropos of nothing, the #AmongUsShow was written and storyboarded by hand, backgrounds were painted by hand, it was animated by hand, and it was voice acted.. by... hand? We used digital tools to do these things, but it all came from a human hand moving around due to a human brain making decisions.
