Meet the Team!

We're six days into March already! The team is plucking away on content, super excited to share more soon - character designs, test screenshots, and assets. But in between working on the game we wanted to officially introduce ourselves!

Aquarium 51 is brought to you by...

Kit (EggDadde) - Lead Artist/Dev

Hiya! I'm a professional artist and hobbyist DM! This is my first time making a game! As a long-time lover of CYOA books and dating sims, I've always wanted to make one of my own. I'm most excited to have my hands in the characters' personal stories and how they're presented.

Favorite Games: Persona 3, Persona 3: FES, Persona 3 Reload, Persona 3 Portable (#JusticeForFemC)

Pidge - Lead Writer

Howdy! I've been writing in some capacity for like twenty years, but my early work (mostly self-insert Spiderman fanfiction, to be honest) is probably not relevant. I love interactive fiction, and any game with branching paths. I'm so stoked to help bring these characters my friends and I have created to life, and see them realized!

Favorite Games: Dragon Age 2, Dragon Age (the rest of em), Fallout New Vegas, Stardew Valley

Xavier - Programmer

I have over 15 years of software development and game modding experience. I love FPS games, old school runescape, and I'm the author of the once-popular Garry's Mod DayZ game mode. I've never published a game from scratch before and I'm super excited to work on a team of talented artists/writers and bring their vision to life! Our engine's core is Godot 4.6 and Dialogic (with pretty sprinkles on top).

Favorite Games: Runescape, Breath of the Wild, Hollow Knight, Minecraft Beta
