Weiller at GDC 2017

Thais Weiller is a Brazilian game designer and producer.[1][2] Together with Danilo Dias she co-founded JoyMasher and released Oniken and Odallus.[3]

She has also created Rainy Day, a game about anxiety and depression: she spoke at Game Developers Conference (GDC) in 2017 about "wondering why no one was making games about the 'crappy moments in life,' like break ups, awful bosses, and experiences with serious health conditions."[4] Rainy Day was described by one reviewer as "um jogo curtinho sobre ansiedade e depressão que você deveria jogar agora" ("a short game about anxiety and depression which you should play now").[5]

She has an M.Sc. in game design from Universidade de Sao Paulo.[3]
