Hello from Koalabu

Written By Cheryl Savan

Studio Update 01
January 2026

Hi and welcome. Thanks for stopping by and checking in on what we’re making. It genuinely means a lot.

We’re Koalabu, a small indie studio working on our first game. As we work on the game we want to share the craft of building it: the choices, the polish, and the some of the little moments of building a game.

THE KIND OF GAME WE’RE DRAWN TO

We’re building something with a warm, whimsical feel. Playful, inviting, and a little bit whimsical. We want to create something that is fun to play and a positive, uplifting experience.

A few things we care about a lot:

  • A satisfying “feel” in your hands. Smooth interactions, gentle feedback, and moments that just feel good to do.

  • Whimsical charm. Simple shapes, strong silhouettes, and a soft, storybook kind of personality.

  • A cozy heart with some snap. Relaxing to pick up, but still lively and engaging when you’re in it.

  • Satisfying sound, both in the music and in the sound design.

  • Beautiful, unique visuals.

WHERE WE’LL SHARE UPDATES

When we have something worth sharing, we’ll post here on our website’s Updates page. We’ll also share short clips on YouTube. We’ll keep it spoiler-light and focus on the parts we can show: polish, visuals, and small behind-the-scenes progress.
