Hey there, from the developer of Bored at Home!

I wanted to share a quick note about this project and why I’m posting. I know many amazing creators who pour endless hours into non-AI content, and it’s heartbreaking to see their work get overshadowed. This is my way of saying: You matter, and your effort deserves recognition.

For Bored at Home, I balanced development with a full-time job and running a small guesthouse. It’s been a challenge, but here’s the breakdown:

• Writing: All text was written by hand in German—no AI.
• Character Art: Designed and hand-drawn on an iPad Pro, with lots of trial and error (I’m still learning!).
• Translations: Automated with a custom tool using Google’s API, then manually polished.
• Backgrounds: Currently AI-generated, but I hope to replace them with custom art in the future.

A big shoutout to all creators making amazing things by hand—you’re incredible, and the world needs more of your work. Thanks for giving Bored at Home a try! 😊
