TINY YELLOW MACHINE - Case Study Video



BACKGROUND
1 Passion Project | 1 Tiny Yellow Machine

From day one, the Playdate captured my heart. Developed by Panic, known for games like Untitled Goose Game and Firewatch, the Playdate’s playful retro yet modern spirit and indie game community resonated deeply with me. Alongside my day job, I aimed to create a platform on my free time where fans, developers, and Panic could all interact, leveraging my skills in content creation, community management, and marketing.

Thus, Tiny Yellow Machine was born—a now thriving project that continuiously educates me on significance of marketing, social media, and the power of community in just one year. This experience has enriched my career in all aspects, deepened my connection to indie gaming, and fueled my determination to make a positive impact in the Playdate community's growth. Excited for what's ahead, I'm grateful for the opportunities this journey has brought.
