‘Inverted NEM’ (Nancy, Esther, Marlowe) is an independent game studio based in Vancouver, we are a team of artists and designers who love video games. In our work, we intend to be able to expand upon this concept of “playful design” and explore what it means to create engaging design within a community. We are heavily inspired by 2d art and design and find inspiration in personal stylization, with a love for eco-punk and solar futurism.
