About Us
We Are Oh Nyo! Studios And We Promise To Be As Annoying As Possible No Matter What
We've wanted to make games for a long while now, probably a good chunk of our lives, but said lives always got in the way in one way or another; our dreams eternally shelved for more "realistic" and "feasible" pursuits. When we met as co-workers in 2022, an incredible meet-cute occurred, founded on shared passions and appreciation for one another's creativity and ideas. Of course there was also the "Oh Gosh another trans woman!" factor, but that's just par for the course when folks like us bump into each other.
While financial success would be a blessing, we are not here to Make Number Go Up Infinitely. We are not here to engage in the very same business models that has this art form in a profit-driven stranglehold. Every year the AAA games get bigger and better, and every year the overworked underpaid people who make them are crunched, burned out, harassed, abused, and fired for their hard work while the responsible parties face no material consequences and reward themselves with bonuses on top of their already incredible salaries. In a tech landscape of corporate software platforms that could and do completely change their prices and terms of service overnight, Oh Nyo! Studios prioritizes independent, open source, and/or Creative Commons resources in the development of our projects.
Oh Nyo! Studios acknowledges that we live and make our art on stolen land, in the territory of the Tāp Pīlam Coahuiltecan Nation in so-called Texas. We believe in a sustainable future where black & indigenous people are leading the way outside current systems of power.
