OUR STORY!
From experiencing the joy of card games during a boring holiday trip to creating our own card game with the support of our cats!
Hey There! We are Lisa & Emiel – The creators of Whiskers Academy.
We both have an background as artists within the digital video game industry, But with our love of physical games and the spark of a fun idea we decided to make Whiskers Academy!
In this short segment we would love to tell you a bit about how Whiskers Academy became to be.
Initial Concept
We first decided to make a card game while playing other card games.
Something just sparked, and we started to brainstorm while playing uno what one of our games could look like.
It took quite a while to come up with the right idea. something that fit’s our personality and that we would love to play ourselves.
But after many brainstorm sessions and sticky notes we felt we had the perfect idea.
- Cats! – We love cats and have 2 ourselves, it just felt right.
- Careers! we are at the age where we are working hard to build our career. Who knows, if this game takes off we could have made a career out of making a game about careers!
Rules & Design
Once the concept was there it was time for us to define all the rules, character and cards. Luckely as we have a background as proffesional artists we were able create a detailed and clean project concept.
But.. A game is not just about rules! It was time to test our game and design our cards.
It is safe to say this process took quite a while and went through various itterations. some of them you can see on the left.
But after a lot of hard work we managed to come up with a style and design we like.
And as a little personal topic we also honored some of our current and past cats by basing some characters on them. We sadly lost 2 of them to old age so this felt like a nice way to honor them.
With our designs done it is time to bring this card game to the world!
Playtesting & Marketing
Time for the fun part! Testing out our game with others to see if they like it, if the game is balanced and where we need to make imporvements.
We are lucky enough that our family and friends were willing to help us with this. And we hope that you can soon also experiance the joy of this game.
Finally, We had to let the world know about this game. Now this was actually quite tricky for us, as we are not marketing experts. But we hope that with a balance of building a social media community, Making fun videos both real life and using AI and with your help that we can make this a reality.
We really hope that you will support our game and make our dreams come true!
-Emiel & Lisa
