CorpoNation: The Sorting Process - Te_Tonic
Greetings, valued employees,

We’re really excited to be a part of Game Devs of Color 2023 over the next week!



Making games is a dream for so many of us, but it’s also really difficult! It’s fantastic to be a part of an initiative that’s showcasing and amplifying the amazing games created by people of colour around the world.

Sharing your game that you love and have worked really hard on is a nerve wracking and scary feat for anyone! To be able to stand alongside similar people helps tackle those nerves and brings confidence and pride.



Before we started CorpoNation we were game dev hobbyists dreaming of making games full time. Seeing amazing games and the creators who looked like us behind them was a really important push that helped us have the confidence to quit our jobs and become game developers full-time.

If you’re currently dreaming of creating your own games, I’ll be giving a talk as part of the online Game Devs of Color Expo all about some of the things that have surprised me on my journey from hobbyist to full-time game developer.


Here’s a sneak peek of a slide!


I’ll be talking about some challenges but also, if you’ve been dreaming of making games I’ll be trying to give you the encouragement to give it a go! Game Devs of Color Expo runs from 27th - 30th September, and my talk is on Saturday 30th September.

Be sure to check out the Steam event, talks and Game Devs of Color Expo Direct next week on the 27th September on their YouTube channel. You might see something new from a familiar raccoon 🦝

  • The first patch was released in September 2022, tweaking the game and fixing minor bugs.

  • In November, we fixed bugs, added exciting Halloween missions and add-ons, and introduced Steam Community Items. Electrician Simulator also became on Steam Deck.
  • Not much later, we introduced Score the Goal! - football-related content and discounted the game by 30% in the Steam Autumn Sale.
