We are Cotton Cat, a brazilian indie game studio!

History

We’ve met each other in 2018 during our graduations, where we worked together in some small projects and learned a lot, bringing this knowledge with us to our work. Now together as a company, we aim the creation of narrative-focused games that embrace as much diversity as there is in its creators.

Nayara is a bisexual woman, game artist, and art director. She is our leader. Professionally worked as a game artist at Overlord Game Studio in Rio de Janeiro. Has broad knowledge about game development pipeline, entrepreneurship, and game studies research, studied during her academic degree in Industrial Design.

He excels in various programming languages, such as C#, C, C++, Java, Python, and is specialized in the Unity engine, being awarded in two game jams (one of them international). He worked as a programmer at Double Dash Studios (also in Rio de Janeiro) before starting at Cotton Cat Studios.

Projects

• Neon Goddess

  Neon Goddess is a plataformer stealth 2D that mixes cyberpunk with eldritch horror elements. In a world where technology didn’t save us from fanaticism, various cults seize power by indoctrination. Our protagonist, Astrid, is a bounty hunter that works for a resistance group and what was meant to be a single seek-and-destroy mission ends with her getting involved in a way more complicated scheme.
