Pomonok Games
About the Developer:
Teresa Jusino -- Founder of Pomonok Entertainment, home of Pomonok Games
Currently playing (as of Dec 2025):
Death Stranding; Fallout 76; Fallout Shelter; and Fallout New Vegas, as well as popping in to do the Daily Run every so often in 'No Return' on TLOU Part II: Remastered.
Fave games include:
The Last of Us 1 & 2, Fallout 4, Portal 1 & 2, Disco Elysium, Baldur's Gate III, The Stanley Parable, Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Gone Home, Life is Strange & Papers, Please. I love word games like Birdigo and basically everything on the New York Times Games app. Katamari Damacy is the first game I ever played to the end credits, I get addicted to Tetris when I play like everyone else, and for some reason I'm constantly quoting the main character in Little Misfortune all the time. ("A ladder? Fancy!")
Currently developing:
Pomonok Games' first offering -- a visual novel called ROBOT GIRL: Teenage Dream. (want to beta test? Email: teampomonok@gmail.com with "RG TESTER" in the subject line for access!)
Fun Facts:
- native New Yorker currently living in Los Angeles
- Puerto Rican, Jewish, bisexual woman with ADHD
- Over 15 years experience as a pop culture journalist with work appearing in outlets like Reactor, Jezebel, Latina Magazine, Teen Vogue, and The Mary Sue, where I was an editor from 2015-18 and returned as a contributing writer from 2023-24.
- I've done feature film development work at Topple Productions, I've worked in television production in various capacities since 2020, and am part of the L.A-based theater company, Force of Nature Productions, through which I've produced, written, and directed several works.
- In 2018, I launched Pomonok Entertainment, a production company producing stories across multiple mediums. Pomonok has produced theater, podcasts, and filmed content. We're now adding games to the mix!
- I studied writing for interactive fiction with Greg Buchanan (No Man's Sky, American Election) as part of his Writing For Interactive Fiction Workshop in 2024. This is where I first started fleshing out ROBOT GIRL.
- I was selected to take part in Sunbloom Media Arts Center's 'Full Bloom' mentorship program for underrepresented indie game developers in 2025. Working with my mentor, Daniel "Freaky" Aguilar, I finally decided the kind of game I wanted ROBOT GIRL to be, and began developing it as a full visual novel.
I'm new to indie game development. Be gentle.
