About

A humorous blend of nutty creativity with a squirt of the insane, The Tweebs© is a heartfelt adventure delving into the depths of a nameless jungle. When thimble-sized Millet is cast out of the safety of his cottage into the ludicrous world, he has to find his way home. Faced with magical mishaps, water-soluble cities, monstrous thugs, and his own persistent terror, can he make it back alive without being transformed into something nasty? Will he have the courage to give up his comforts for the friendship his heart so desperately needs?

Creator notes

General

The Tweebs has been so much fun making. I wanted to kick off with something light, boundless and purely joyful. A sandbox as it were. Creating humorous scenarios for Millet to stumble through had an element of freedom (because nothing was too fanciful) which made it less daunting and far more of a joy to bunker down in front of the keyboard.

Message

I think one of man's most persistent battles is his struggle with himself. Selfishness and self-preoccupation stand in the way of joy and a outflow of goodness. I see it in myself all the time and it disgusts me- I wanted to write about that through a character who had all my own flaws, just magnified. This character had to feel the loss of that selfless joy and had to face a decision that would burn all the bridges.
