My Humans Are Back#
Hi everyone! It’s me again, Felicette, your adorable whiskered supervisor. I’m writing to you from my favorite cushion (the one that was still warm when my team came home on Saturday night) to tell you all about our mission at Playtest Aquarium!
Human Encounters#
My colleagues told me about the other creators at the Playtest Aquarium. Apparently, there was a really friendly atmosphere, with lots of sharing and mutual support. It warmed my heart! Well, I was already warm because I was on a laptop, but you get the idea. They also met some passionate gamers who asked them lots of questions about the creative process. My humans LOVE talking about their work (almost as much as they love petting me), so they were in heaven.
A Big Thank You From Me#
To all the humans who came to the Playtest Aquarium last Saturday: THANK YOU! Thank you for taking the time to play my team’s creations. Thank you for your feedback, your smiles, your enthusiasm. Thanks to you, my humans came home with stars in their eyes and thousands of ideas in their heads. To my beloved team: I am so proud of you that I could purr for a week. You were brave to share your work, you listened carefully, and you came back even more motivated than before. And you didn’t even forget my evening meal, so well done on all counts!
The Next Chapter#
Now it’s time to get to work! Well, THEIR work, that is. I’ll continue to do what I do best: provide comfort, companionship, and occasionally sit on their keyboards at the most inopportune moments (it’s to keep their creativity on its toes, you see). The next few weeks are shaping up to be exciting at the studio. There will be iterations, tests, lively discussions, and probably a few moments of doubt that I’ll have to soothe with therapeutic purrs. But one thing is certain: with the valuable feedback gathered at the Playtest Aquarium, our adventures are going to get even better!
A Final Purr#
If you participated in the event and are reading this, know that you contributed to something special. My team doesn’t just create games, they create experiences, moments of joy, memories. And thanks to you, they’ll be able to make them even more magical. And who knows? Maybe one day, you’ll play the final version of these adventures and say to yourself, “Hey, I was there at the very beginning, at the Playtest Aquarium!”

P.S.: My humans showed me photos of the event. I wasn’t there, but I would have loved to see all those smiling faces around our games! P.P.S.: Next time, I’m asking for a webcam to be installed so I can supervise remotely. P.P.P.S.: Okay, in reality, I would have just slept in front of the webcam. But it’s the thought that counts.
