Projects
Shiny Snail is a family-oriented, video game and product development studio based in Vermont. The company started out as Ketos Games, established in 2014 by Curtis Aube. In 2015 they released Marble Muse, a game about navigating a marble through a 3D obstacle course by rotating the course itself. Since the release of Marble Muse, they have made a number of games including a collaboration with Whooplah on Pollywog Pond, an educational video game portal for preschoolers.
Shiny Snail has also launched a Christmas ornament set called The Promised Messiah.
The Champlain Games Festival was an event featuring locally made digital and tabletop games from in and around the Vermont area. It was a family-friendly event that ran for 3 years. It provided a chance for game developers to get some playtesting and for people in the community to see what kinds of awesome local games were being created.
