Your Momo

Hello, this is Dopamine Maker.Our biggest priority is making Momo feel truly alive. We believed her eyes were the key silent device to express her timid, anxious emotions, so we poured our efforts into eye animations to build her character and presence. However, during playtests, we realized her mouth stayed completely still while talking, which needed improvement. That’s when we started drawing various mouth shapes. It took a lot of trial and error to find mouths that express emotion without breaking her character or making her look unappealing. Momo is designed with shark teeth. Drawing bottom teeth made her impression look too harsh, so we omitted the bottom row entirely. For the same reason, we also simplified the upper teeth. The original mouth color was a bit too dark, so we used a brighter tone to give her a healthier, lively blush. First, we created 6 primary mouth shapes: A, I, E, O, U, and Closed.Below is a test preview. We always welcome feedback and ideas about the game, so please share your thoughts freely. Thank you for reading!

Hello, gamers!We're Dopamine Maker, the three-person indie team developing 《Your Momo》.After launching our Steam store page and sharing development updates with the community, we received more support and questions than we expected. Today, we'd like to talk about why we started 《Your Momo》 and the thoughts behind its development.Why do gamers buy new games?We believe gamers look for new games because they want new experiences—and better ones.《Your Momo》 started with that same thought. With so many indie games coming out, we asked ourselves what we could make and what new experiences we could offer players.Shortstack characters are still a niche taste, so games featuring them with high-quality, hand-drawn art were hard to find. We decided to make a game ourselves where you can spank a character’s butt, chat with her, and gradually grow closer.A world where everything has become easierWe live in an age where smartphones and PCs make so many things easy and convenient. We also spend 12 hours a day at our PCs, working and gaming.So, whether it’s me, other people working at their PCs, or gamers, shouldn’t we all be able to spank a shortstack character’s butt with a single click? Yes. I think we should.A desktop companion with a storyThat’s how 《Your Momo》 began. We’re making a game that goes beyond simply admiring a character: through interaction, you can grow closer to her and get to know her story. We want to create a desktop companion you can share your everyday life with, getting to know each other along the way.Development Plans and RoadmapHere's what we're currently working toward.Demo release: We're polishing a playable build and plan to release a demo during Steam Next Fest this October. We're also aiming for a full release in early December.macOS version: A macOS version is also planned. We hope Momo feels like a living companion you can joke around and chat with while working or gaming, rather than a character who just stands in the corner of your screen.If you...
