Goodbye World: Programmer Kanii and graphics artist Kumade are two friends who met in college.
After graduating, they’ve been creating indie games together, but so far life has been harsh; Their games don’t sell, and most of their time is spent working part time jobs to make ends meet… As Kanii desperately tries to find a way to make a product that sells, Kumade makes a decision―
This short experience looks at the challenges, successes and hardships of what creating an indie game can look like, following a personal story between Kanii and Kumade. The narrative explores why game developers want to create in the first place.
