About Baked Bean Games

Where pixels meet passion and cozy meets creativity

My Story

Baked Bean Games was born from a simple dream: to create games that feel like coming home, for anyone of any skill level to enjoy. In a world of fast-paced, high-intensity gaming, I personally felt a need for something different – something cozy, something warm, something that reminds me of the simple joys in life.

Founded in 2025 by boredom, a few pixel design tutorials, and a breadth of Python knowledge, I believe that games can be more than entertainment. They can be a source of comfort, a moment of peace, and a gentle escape from the everyday hustle.

With every game I create, I want there to be a world of exploration and fun for those who get a little tired with the grind of day to day life, and the option to go back and play exactly how you feel.

Meet the Founder

Amanda Hirt

Founder & Solo Developer

I'm a passionate indie game developer who believes in the power of cozy gaming experiences paired with storytelling and explorative worlds. With a solid background in programming and a desire to learn pixel art, I wear many hats at Baked Bean Games – from coding and design to storytelling and trying to fit my visions of design to my still growing art skills.

Engaging Storytelling

I believe in creating games that tell compelling stories and immerse players in rich, explorative worlds. I try to bring that vision to life whenever I can in my games.

Learning Curve

I want my games to be playable and enjoyable by as many as possible so I try and keep the dynamics as simple as possible without taking away from the fun factor.
