🖼 Fan Content / OC I made a KAJ game!

So I just published my first ever game, and of course it is about KAJ and saunas... Xd

You can play it here (works only on computers): https://lazycat-gamez.itch.io/warm-up-the-sauna-with-kaj

I made this completely by myself, so it's quite simple and short, but it would mean a lot if you would check it out and let me know what you think <3

Thanks!! It was fun but challenging to try to make the characters look like them xd

u/Axolotl_amphibian Tutta l'Italia May 04 '25

I especially love how you're first greeted by Mäskis-Gunnar offering you a cookie before getting locked in Gambämark, that's genius

u/Helmi-drawings Bara bada bastu May 04 '25

Yeah that's a little easter egg ;) Maybe I'll also add something from botnia paradise once it gets released

u/Goodnight_Socialite Tavo Akys May 04 '25

That would be fun! I really can't wait for it to get released! I'm looking forward to it almost just as much as ESC itself

u/Easy_Entrepreneur_46 May 05 '25

I'm looking forward to it almost just as much as ESC itself

Same here except I am not excited of the release schedule 😅 from what I have gotten to know Botnia is going to be released 12 am on the 18th of May. Which is while Eurovision is still going on TV 😬😅 R.I.P my sleep and health

u/VersaillesRoyal Wasted Love May 04 '25

Thank you so much!!

u/ifiwasiwas May 04 '25

Oh my gosh this is adorable. I'm sure they'd really get a kick out of this!

I love how art imitates real life with Jakob playing a ceremonial/vibes-based role while KA do the actual work 💚

u/Helmi-drawings Bara bada bastu May 04 '25

Thank you!! I never actually thought it that way while making this but now that you said that, it fits so good! Especially with their latest video of SHCakob just being there xd

u/Megarafan2025 11:11 May 04 '25

u/Time_List_1173 Bara bada bastu May 04 '25

u/JeffBallMap May 04 '25

Hi can you make a setting where their names be switched to Big Kev, Mr. International, and SHCakob?

u/Helmi-drawings Bara bada bastu May 04 '25

Oh that could be fun! Maybe if they win I'll make 2.0 version🤔

u/salsasnark Tavo Akys May 04 '25

u/99cent-tea May 04 '25

This is so cute!! How did you get started, is it complicated?

4

u/Helmi-drawings Bara bada bastu May 04 '25

I used Unity game engine to do this since I have used it in some school projects before, so it wasn't that difficult. I would recommend watching tutorials on youtube and just experimenting with all the features to get started :)

u/broccolibubblebath May 04 '25

Saving this post to try the game later ❤ Great job, OP!
