Hello everyone!

We are Team Bunny Basket, people brought together by passion and the shared desire to make games for a living. Our dream is to make interesting and ambitious games, ones that we will have fun developing and people will enjoy playing. We have gathered around this dream like a cozy bonfire, and we are ready to put our very hearts into it to make it burn ever brighter and to hopefully share its warmth with you.

We are starting with a small project that is nonetheless very meaningful to us, because it’s the first stepping stone on our journey, the one that brings us closer together as a team. 

We want to put so many things into our little project! We want it to be deep, interesting, big and complex. But we have to remind ourselves that for now it is just a tiny ember born from a dream, and it is too easy to extinguish its flame with too many aspirations. We can only go so far on our own, but with your support, we can make it into something truly wonderful!

We are very excited to introduce you to

It is a game that uses visual novel-style storytelling while also incorporating simple RPG elements and progression.

It is a story of a young girl whose previous unpleasant experiences with people made her withdraw into her own world, wary of connections and afraid of reaching out. But a kind and compassionate heart can’t stay isolated forever, and though it takes a lot of courage to take those first steps, she may yet find a way out of her solitude and meet people who care for her, real friends and maybe even true love. 

In Idlewild you will dive into her daily life of an ordinary university student and a huge game nerd. You will attend classes, build connections, make friends and also play a recently released fantasy MMO game. 

As you know, online games have the ability to provide safe shelter and respite from the “real world”. Our avatar becomes the perfect mask to hide behind, letting us try on different roles, giving us courage to open up and speak our mind. Often, it seems better than our “real” self, this shiny hero with blazing wings and incredible powers, always ready, always capable, always swooping in to save the day. 

But do you also know that we could become someone’s hero just by being around when they need it most?

In the end, will our protagonist choose to stay behind her mask or step into her own strength? And what even is her real self? You decide. 

We have been working on this project for several months now and are very eager to share some of the work with you!

In the upcoming posts we will introduce you to some characters, show their design, talk about gameplay systems that we came up with, and of course discuss our plans and hopes for this project. Soon – fingers crossed – we’ll be able to provide a small demo to showcase some essential gameplay and give you an idea about what it feels like to play the game. 

We would be incredibly grateful if you could support us on Patreon or spread the word about our game. We are a small excited bunch of enthusiasts and every comment or mention helps us immensely! 

Thank you and see you soon!
