  • Cute Yet Spooky FPS Finally Comes to Xbox

    Cute Yet Spooky FPS Finally Comes to Xbox

    Reading Time: 4 minutes

    Stuffed is a procedurally generated first-person shooter that takes place in the dreams of a little girl. Play as a teddy bear and fight waves of endless waves of nightmares as you defend your owner, Ellie. Originally hitting the gaming scene in Early Access on PC, we’re thrilled to announce that Stuffed is now coming to Xbox. Get ready to dive into a world of dreams and unleash mayhem with our teddy bear protagonist armed with an arsenal that’s anything but cuddly.

    Fight Waves of Nightmares

    Stuffed characters

    Enter the world of Ellie’s dreams, where your goal is clear: defend your owner’s bedroom door and defeat a variety of nightmares in endless waves. From plunger-wielding garden gnomes to fanged rubber ducks and shadow-made monsters, there’s no shortage of creative foes. Defeating enemies earns you points, which you can use to unlock new areas of the map and weapons. With randomly generated maps every session, Stuffed promises a unique challenge each time.

    We drew inspiration from our favourite FPS titles but added a cute and colourful twist to make the genre accessible to all gamers. Don’t be fooled by the teddy bear aesthetic; Stuffed packs a punch, especially in the later waves.

    Unique Weapons

    Stuffed screenshot

    Ever imagined using a popcorn grenade or a jellybean shotgun? In Stuffed, you’ll wield weapons crafted from everyday household items. Our team delved deep into childhood nostalgia, and worked hard to make sure the internal workings of the weapons made sense regardless of how whacky the designs were – resulting in many debates within the team while gathered around a whiteboard with insane doodles. During the early days of development, we even had our animator wear oven gloves while holding toy guns to get an understanding of how a teddy bear might hold a weapon. Shoutout to Strikecast, our audio wizards, who brought these weapons to life using everything from wooden spoons to toilets for the perfect soundscape.

    Customise Your Bear

    Why a teddy bear? Because who didn’t have a stuffed friend growing up? But since everyone’s childhood was different, we wanted to make sure you could customise your bear to truly match your tastes. Every game you play will award you with Bear Coins based on your performance, and you can use these Coins to unlock new fur patterns and outfits for your bear. Mix and match to your heart’s content. Are you feeling like a skeletal astronaut, a stripey pirate with a peg leg, or perhaps a rainbow-patterned bear rocking a unicorn onesie? The choice is yours!

    The entire team poured their hearts into Stuffed, and we hope you enjoy playing it as much as we enjoyed creating it. Brace yourself to enter Ellie’s dreams and conquer those nightmares.

    Fall-ing for Lil Gator Game

    Reading Time: 4 minutes

    Hey! I’m Connor, writer and Art Director for Lil Gator Game. Nice to meet you!

    The thought of our silly little game getting people through a tough winter fills me with joy! Even more exciting is the fact that as you play Lil Gator Game for the first time on Xbox, you also have the unique opportunity to play it for the first time ever in the Fall, the season Lil Gator Game is set!

    LGG environment

    School has started up again in full swing. Jobs are hiring and your friend probably landed one. Soon it will be Halloween, then Christmas, then a year from now, then ten! It’s your last chance to go to the beach, or camping, or whatever you’d like to do before the weather is bad or your schedule is full or someone you really want to spend time with just doesn’t have that time anymore.

     If that resonated with you, you’re in the same boat as Lil Gator, feeling the same feelings and breathing the same autumnal air. If the world feels more different than it ever has, then this game has something to say to you, and you may be in the best position you’ll ever be in to listen.

    LGG screenshots

    If that all sounds a little heavy, don’t worry, the time you’ll have in Lil Gator Game will be much more upbeat! Our game is a low-stakes adventure about a bunch of goofy kids and the funny things they say to each other. You’ll meet a ton of silly little dudes, get all wrapped up in their silly little stories, and learn what silly little things are more important to them than anything else in the world. There’s no health bar and no dark twists, but maybe have some tissues nearby when you get towards the end. Just a hunch!

    LGG sign

    As a reminder, I’m the game’s writer! So, if you read this article and thought to yourself, “wow this is all surprisingly coherent for a game that prides itself on being cute and silly,” then please pick up Lil Gator Game and give us a chance to surprise you even more. It’s fun to read, fun to listen to, fun to find your way around, and –in my opinion– a lot of fun to talk about!

    Thanks for reading, ya crazy kid. Tell Master Chief I said hi!
