The studio says the project began as a side effort to turn a character from its horror game Happy Door into a mascot, and it now takes priority. A demo is planned for Steam Next Fest, with a release target within the year.","whyItMatters":"Dopamine Maker is treating a low-cost, immediate-reaction desktop companion as a release it can ship within the year while its horror game Happy Door stays in development, which is the practical math of a small Korean studio trying to keep a team employed on indie revenue.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eMomo makes an emergency landing on an unfamiliar desktop and meets the player there. She is monochrome at first; spanking her butt restores color, and the action repeats quickly enough to be done in a spare moment while working or gaming. Players can pat her head, set her on a window edge, resize her with the mouse wheel, hand her objects, and change her outfit or hairstyle. Missions unlock features, and her story is revealed gradually. Her short height and plump figure are, by the developer\u0026#39;s own description, a niche design choice, and the studio says it settled on that character as the focus because many indie games are competing for the same space.\u003c/p\u003e","blueskyPost":"Your Momo started as a side project to reuse a Happy Door character, and Dopamine Maker now puts it ahead of the horror game. A mascot outgrowing its source game is a quiet inversion of how studios usually work.","twitterPost":"Your Momo began as a side project reusing a Happy Door character.
