Game Developer Pets

Let’s be honest, game developers have pets. Pets are basically core team members in our games. I want to know:

Who are your pets?
What is there “job title” in your team?
Pics??

Minnah is one of my two cats. Her job title is Technical Advisor

He controls all spells going into and out of the game(s).

Well I was gonna name him something Roman (my heritage). But at the time I was still young and mom didn’t want me too lol.

But I got buddy from the movie(s) called Airbud or whatever. Loved them movies.

Meet Ripa (Ripper), my ~9 year old Saluki Greyhound and best buddy. Every 8pm he starts moaning that he wants his favourite bacon-flavoured treat and every 8pm he gets it. He’s a rescue dog, scarred and missing teeth but he’s calm.

He’s more than a mascot, maybe ‘team-timekeeper’, given he appears to know when 8pm hits.

2 cats that tolerate me and are generally poor product managers tbh. It’s as if they don’t really care about crunch or overtime, so long as they get results.

I have 2 Staffordshire Bull Terriers called Neo (Yup from the Matrix) & Saffy, although I call her Rofl because she’s always Roffling. Anyway, they’re both Security at my company. Here’s a picture of them hard at work in the office. Ahem:

Hard at work!

awwww all the snuggles!!!

Cool thread.
I have three. One Shiba named Keada - the Alpha, a Cavachon named Romeo - hypoallergenic and Mr. loving to all that will allow it, And the kitty is named Molly, because she was supposed to be a fish (that’s a story), but I call her Meatball because if the apocalypse ever happens - she’s the first one to get eaten.
All demanding bosses who constantly beg for food, attention and inside/outside - inside/outside - inside/outside all the time. :slight_smile:

Brin and Minerva. Minerva often walks across my keyboard and occasionally writes some code for me. She’s not very good at it though. I’ve actually left some of them in my code in between “/* */”.

I have two little monkeys. They take on the role of art direction and play testers. If I can keep them engaged for more the five minutes I have a best seller.

Ah! Now this is a thread that I can get behind :slight_smile:

Here’s Olive (sometimes Olivia when she’s being particularly posh). She tries hard to get involved in the development process but mostly she’s there for moral support.

Definitely love this post. Here is my Bentley (Black Goldendoodle) and Morgan (White and Tan Labradoodle). They make sure I don’t sit too long when I wake up. They also get me to do something, motivators and the best buds.
