Do you like rainbows? Do you like trees? Do you love highly accessible games that feature PBS KIDS' first playable character in a power wheelchair? Well then Fred Rogers Productions has the game for you! Donkey Hodie's "Rainbow Tree Treasures" is now available to play on the PBS KIDS website and app!! It was a privilege to hop on to producing this game started by Jan Vinopal & Johnny VanDerschaaf and take it to the finish line. This was a gargantuan team effort with a mind-boggling amount of art, animation and dev to bring the world of Donkey, Jeff, Panda and the Rainbow Tree to life. Thanks to the non-online Ben Wilson so, so much design work. Yolanda Martinez for oodles of illustration Thorin Kafka & Hector Lopez for animating a record amount of characters and micro-interactions that made me laugh out loud! Kyle Foote & Christopher Partee for developing a massive game and squashing bugs upon bugs Gabrielle Yeager, the caption queen And of course, thanks to the Donkey Hodie team and PBS KIDS, including Melanie Harke , Ana Acosta Ruiz, Rubin Soodak, Kristin DiQuollo & Marissa Doerger for this amazing project that prioritized and centered a disabled character and providing an equitable gaming experience for all. It's an honor to have a small part of bringing this game into the world and giving Jeff Mouse a seemingly endless ramp up Rainbow Tree. As my new bestie Greeble says, "I love it here." https://lnkd.in/eRteyXnu
