Brain&Brain

NOTE: We're moving away from Patreon to self-host our content! You can now join as a supporting member on our own blog, where we publish the same behind-the-scenes content as before. See you there!

We're Brain&Brain, a married duo making games that tell stories about curiosity.

We’re best known for folktale adventure Burly Men at Sea, developed during an eighteen-month stint as nomads. Before that, we made a tiny game called Doggins, and more recently, frontier adventure Wooden Nickel (on hold). We’re now working on a weather-making game called Raincaster.


As a patron, you get exclusive access to behind-the-scenes content from the development of our games. We write about things like:

• Our art process.
• Experiments in productivity.
• Design iteration.

You also get a first look at in-progress art/animation from our latest project before it’s public, as well as access to our patron-only Discord channel.

Joining at a higher tier adds extras like merch discounts, downloads, and supporter credit.


We think games can tell better stories. Our work explores this, pushing the bounds of interactive narrative and testing possibilities. It doesn’t fit neatly into expectations.

Because of this we have to make our own paths forward, sometimes in strange directions. Your support helps make this possible.

Thanks for being curious with us!
