Playful Animation Talk: «Tom the Postgirl» – Animating a Stalker

How do you make a main character unforgettable? By creating her as an enigmatic mail carrier with stalker tendencies! Tom, a curious postgirl, navigates a world that is even stranger than she is.

Kathleen Bohren and Natascha Dübi, animators from the five-person team at Oopsie Daisies Studio, take you behind the scenes of their debut game “Tom the Postgirl”, a twisted blend of dark humour and voyeurism. Learn how they craft tension and bring their strange, watchful universe to life with an unsettling charm. A small team brings big challenges: the animators take on a variety of roles, respond flexibly, and dive fully into creative chaos (aka agile game development).

The Playful Animation talk is co-organised with the Swiss Game Developers Association (SGDA), exploring the intersections between animation and game design and showcasing the potential of combining both disciplines.
