Behind the scenes

How Max was made.

Every stage of Max's build, from the first 3D mesh to the finished buddy and the actions.
A little more Max

Small habits.
A whole personality.

Max is happiest when there is something to figure out. He wanders between tasks, celebrates the small wins, and takes his coffee breaks very seriously. A little restless. Always on your side.

Help Max learn more

Buy the buddies a coffee.

Every new wave and tiny victory dance for Max takes real time to make. An optional coffee helps. It never unlocks a character or moves anyone ahead in the queue.
