I’m Chele (She/They)- Project Manager. One of my favorite parts of the game is the background art and collectable trinkets in You Me and the Trees. Animal Crossing is my all-time favorite game, from GameCube to Switch! I like to listen to audiobooks and crochet in free time. My dachshund, Remi, is the center of my world and mentioned in the You, Me, and the Trees credits.

I’m Rory (He/Him)- Artist. I love the stories that we are telling. I think it’s imperative to experience storytelling about people like yourself and to see yourself in art and The Things Left Behind accomplishes this. Right now, he’s loving the music video for Space Cowboy by Flipturn.  

Rory is a folk artist in the Osage plains. He grew up hiding in big bluestem fields with pockets full of daffodils. Eating raw pecans underneath the tree but on top of a scissor lift. Jumping hay bales and burning front lawns. He makes art to feel free. 

I’m Megan (She/Her)- Developer. I have appreciated the communal ideas and collaboration throughout. I always felt heard!

My personal site! 

Megan is a Statistics, Measurement, and Evaluation in Education graduate student at the University of Missouri. She is interested in digital accessibility and coding. Megan enjoys sparkling water, walks, and poorly done musical comedies. 

I’m Lanxin (She/Her)- Developer! What I'm loving most about the game is the aesthetics style, specifically the cuteness of the charachters, take Animal crossing for example. Of the little joys in life, I'm relishing in crochet, dancing, tasty food, and staying with my cats, puppy, sweetie. 

Lanxin is a cozy-game lover, kitchen experimenter, occasional dancer, and collector of cute little joys in everyday life.

I am Spencer (He/Him), Developer. What I love about the game is that every scene is a work of art. The hand-drawn art style feels beautiful and unhurried, matching the relaxing pace of the gameplay. I have been playing a lot of Minecraft lately, watching College Football as the season starts up, and I am always interested in Spiderman movies and comics, particularly Miles Morales! 

I'm Devon (She/Her), Artist. My favorite thing about the game is its atmosphere, calm and comforting. Outside of the game, I’m loving Melona ice cream bars and going to the Renaissance Fair!

I’m Nicki (They/Them), Social Media Manager! I love all the tiny stories weaved together in one level- like the story of friendship, unchanged, even as one friend subtly, slowly, no explanation required, changes their appearance to match their inner self. Some things I currently love- rewatching old favorites, like Call the Midwife and Designated Survivor; I'm playing Fable II and I can't wait for the reboot. Eventually. It's only been 16 years... 

When they're not being a Social Media Manager, Mom, or Aunt Nick, Nicki is advocating for other people with disabilities and for minority voices around the world- with a special love for The Foundation to Decrease World Suck's and Partners in Health's Maternal Center of Excellence in Sierra Leone and the Osteogenesis Imperfecta Foundation.

I'm Sean(He/Him), Developer. My favorite thing about working on this game has been building experience, not just on 2D games, a previous skills gap, but also getting to work in a team and strengthen those teamwork skills, along with the bonds I’m making here. As always, the two "Big M's" dominate my life: Milk and Minecraft. I drink a LOT of milk and I play a LOT of Minecraft. I'll never give you up. 

You can find my work here and at Github!

I’m Isaac (He/Him), I am a developer. I appreciated the communal ideas and collaboration throughout. I always felt heard! recently played esoteric ebb, pathogenic (games) and reading pet sematary [sic] (book), but also really enjoying rocks & worms (food). I'll never let you down.
