The Oak (Cookout) Project
Sept. 5, 2025
So we still haven't come up with the exact perfect title for our project -- at last year's announcement we've been going with T3 Matchine! The project we're working on hasn't changed, but the working title has: The Oak (the Cookout). Last year we started with a match 3 game. It's a favorite genre of mine (Lo) and it was accessible for junior programmers.
This year we're working on the card game: Spades. And so far, this is easily our favorite part of the game. It's actually transforming our approach to the project in really cool ways that we can't wait to showcase. As full-time training winds down this month, it's time to transition back into project mode.
The Apprentice Training Program is intense, as any candidate will tell you. But during that time, the Guild puts our projects on pause to focus our attention on our apprentices. The goal is for them to be ready for work -- and in this case, ready to join this project and contribute!
We'll be making all development updates here, but if you really want to get into the juicy details of how the project is made, you should follow us over on Itch.io. We're super excited to get back to this project and we think you're going to like it too!
