Wrestling With Emotions: New Kid on the Block changes
Hiya!
Greetings from The Lazerverse, and welcome to our latest Wrestling With Emotions Dev Update!
In making our dream pro-wrestler cuddling-sim, our little video game band has evolved! This month we’re delighted to unveil the new and improved Team Lazerbeam lineup.
There are a bunch of awesome bandmates to share, so let’s jump straight in!
Ben - Art & Words
Name: Ben Lazerbeam AKA Sassquatch Origin: South Africa Pronouns: They/ Them Finishing move: Atomic High-five
First, let me introduce myself: Yo! I’m Ben, the tallest and most excitable member of Team Lazerbeam! Since we started the band back in 2014, I’ve been laying down the art and words for our games! Wrestling With Emotions 2 is by far the most massive game we’ve dreamt up/ I couldn’t be more stoked to be working with this group of people to realise that dream!
Dope Saint Jude - Words & Music
Name: Catherine AKA Dope Saint Jude Origin: South Africa Pronouns: She/ Her Finishing move: The Mic Drop
Rapper, song writer, producer, visionary. Dope Saint Jude’s musical output has defied genre, and been some of the very best stuff out of South Africa this millenium. WWE2 marks her debut in the world of video game narrative and music. We’re beyond stoked to have Dopey bringing mountains of heart and fire to our world of wrestling weirdos!

Alex - Words
Name: Alex Origin: Russia Pronouns: She/ Her Finishing move: Double-cat Dropkick
The wordsmith behind the fantastic writing in Backbone, Alex sure knows how to write some good words for video games! A reformed sand-salesperson turned game punk (who likes cats as much as the rest of us), Alex has been an absolute perfect fit for Team Lazerbeam!

Mars - Words
Name: Mars AKA Wii_Gay Origin: USA Pronouns: He/ They Finishing move: Pink Slipper Sleeper-hold
Rounding out our gang of wonderful writers, we’ve got the owner of Team Lazerbeam’s best moustache, Mars. Before joining forces on this game, we were monster fans of Mars’s musical output with his band Aye Nako. Between his ripping up the world of DIY music and doing hilarious let’s plays (as Wii_Gay - Check him out!), we figured Mars would be a wonderful addition to Team Lazerbeam!

Kirstyn - Art and Code
Name: Ben Lazerbeam AKA Sassquatch Origin: South Africa Pronouns: She/ They Finishing move: Panda Punch
Kirstyn Lazerbeam has been working on this game with us since early last year. Initially joining us on a uni internship thing, Kirstyn smashed the look of Wrestling With Emotions into a new dimension, and quickly became a full time Lazerbeam. Her 3D backgrounds have breathed so much life into the world of Cuddle Town!
Caitie - Art
Name: Caitie AKA Potato Origin: South Africa Pronouns: She/ Her Finishing move: Doom Duckie
An illustrator/ animator that excels at bringing the adorable and strange to life, Caitie is the newest addition to Team Lazerbeam, but she’s been part of my chosen family for years. In a distant age called 2015-19, Cait and I worked together as Cool Your Jets. We were ronin artists, creating cute and weird animations for whoever hired us. Fast forward 5 years, and it’s just wild that the two of us have been creatively reunited to spend our days drawing wrestler nipples. What a time to be alive!
