Welcome to Santae Entertainment LLC, an independent game studio based in Mobile, Alabama, where creativity, community, and innovation come together. We’re the team behind Santae, a dynamic virtual pet RPG that blends nostalgic charm with bold, modern gameplay.

Santae is the highest-funded virtual pet game in Kickstarter history, reaching over 500% of our original funding goal thanks to our passionate and supportive player community.

With over 12,000 registered users and growing fast, Santae is redefining the future of online pet games, pixel RPGs, and story-driven virtual worlds.

Join Santae today and experience the ultimate blend of nostalgic pet site mechanics with bold, modern MMORPG & TTRPG-inspired current and upcoming gameplay.

CJ (Founder & Developer): Hey, I’m CJ—Registered Nurse, lifelong gamer, and the creator of Santae. I bring over 20 years of experience in the virtual pet site community, along with 10+ years in game development and 10+ years of leadership and management in the healthcare field where teamwork, decision-making, and problem-solving are critical. That same focus, empathy, and resilience now guide Santae’s development. My vision for Santae was simple: create a game that feels like home. A place where people from all walks of life feel welcomed, included, and inspired. I live in Alabama with my partner Logan, also a nurse, and our two huskies, Cooper and Ivy as well as our newest baby Chance, who we adopted from the Mobile Animal Rescuse this year!

Santae was born from our shared love of story-driven games, pixel pets, and tight-knit communities. We grew up with these worlds, but we knew they could be more. We envisioned a platform that:

• Reimagines classic pet site features with modern mechanics,
• Offers RPG depth, worldbuilding, and exploration,
• And most importantly, fosters kindness, inclusion, and creativity.

We believe in building something that feels alive—with deep lore, immersive mechanics, and player-driven evolution. Our upcoming expansion, Mystic Adventure, is just the beginning of what’s possible.

• We’re not just hobbyists—we’re professionals.
• CJ brings a unique skillset forged in high-pressure hospital settings, making community safety, crisis management, and people-first design second nature.
• Together, we’ve assembled a global team of artists, coders, and storytellers who are just as passionate about Santae as we are.

• Hiking or gaming with the dogs (Cooper, Ivy, and Chance),
• Writing lore and sipping tea (or coffee, depending on who you ask),
• Supporting each other through late-night bug fixes and brainstorms,
• Or just enjoying time with our families.
