ABOUT NewFutureKids.
NewFutureKids began working on Bobo Bay in August 2022. Owned and operated by Austin, who has always been fascinated by the Chao Garden concept and wanted to take that idea and turn it into a full game, done in his own way.
Austin has been doing game dev for about eight years, starting out mainly doing 3D art. One day, he really wanted to make his own game so he built a little mobile game and learned how to code through Unity. Since then, he’s been chasing that one great idea that he wanted to take all the way to the finish line, and found his niche in Bobo Bay.
