What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We’re releasing NOODS in Early Access to bring players into our development process. Community creativity is core to NOODS—we’re building a meme-powered desktop companion game inspired by old-school desktop pets. ”

Approximately how long will this software be in Early Access?

“We plan to remain in Early Access for several months, giving us time to implement player-driven features, improve polish, and refine the NOODS experience through continuous community engagement.

Give us your feedback through Settings > "Give Feedback" button!”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The full version of NOODS is planning to have the following:

-A broader cast of desktop companion characters (beyond Lily the raccoon)
-Unlockable trinkets and mini-games
-Enhanced reminder and wellness features (i.e. hydration cues, app blocking)
-A robust selfie and social sharing system
-A customizable character creator and skin packs
-Steam Achievements and community-generated skins via Steam Workshop

”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“This version is fully playable and designed to gather early feedback on features, animation polish, and any bug fixes.

The current early access includes:
- To-Do Lists (Checklists)
- Pomodoro Timer
- Screenshots
- Stopwatch
- Alarms
- Window destruction
- Baseline Lily shenanigans (including window theft)
- Hidden minigame(s)
- Original sounds & music
- Audio & Graphics settings and customization
- Integrated feedback & bug reporting”

Will this software be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“Both Early Access and this version will be free to download. Price will not change when we leave early access. ”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We involve our community with bug reports and feedback logs, our discord community and our weekly Twitch dev streams.”

About This Software

NOODS (Niche Operators Orchestrating Desktop Shenanigans) are lil buddies that sit on your desktop to help you focus on your work and take down devious procrastnative thoughts! NOODS come with a bunch of tools that maintain a positive and healthy work environment for yourself, whether it be from your home PC to your work laptop, but there will always be some room to have fun.

Niche Operators

The first official release features raccoon gamer girl Lily, hand-animated in a charming pixel style and hell bent on keeping you company as you go about your daily computer tasks. As multiple characters are released, you will be able to switch between Operators with the look, personality, and habits best suited for the task at hand. In later releases, we aim to make a tool to allow you to create your own Operator from scratch. Cool, right?

Stay Focused

Part idle clicker, part virtual buddy, this niche operator has many useful abilities; timers, schedules, window features, (and more to come!) so keep an eye out for upcoming releases. Designed to keep you focused and facilitate your real-life tasks, your Operator is just the right balance of subtle and functional to provide what you need; no more opening multiple pomodoro timers and schedule apps to stay on track; it’s all here. Simple n’ sweet.

A Little Spice

You won’t get away with slacking on your Operator’s watch: if left to her own devices, Lily has been known to get in a bit of trouble now and again. Keep your important windows out of her reach, and let her help you stay productive! Or else.
