Hazelnut Hex

Despite being the first game developed by Chunderfins, Hazelnut Hex serves as the culmination of years of experience. Chunderfins is the name of a fictional band created by James, who prefers not to use his full name online. At first, Chunderfins just was meant to be the face of the music that James composed and the art he drew, but James would go on to use his musical skills to play in a real band and also do animation work, all of which would share the Chunderfins name. Through the combination of all these skills and programming experience picked up from his day job, James was able to juggle art, music, and coding roles on the development of Hazelnut Hex and the end result is certainly impressive. This wasn’t a solo developer effort, though, and various other names can be found in the credits, including actress Stephanie M. Komure (credited for voice and QA work for Psychonauts 2, River City Girls 2, Fallout 76, and many more games) as the voice of the game’s protagonist and Newgrounds artists Mismash and Lumpf, both of whom assisted with the cover art and animation respectively.
