Paochanz is the creative home of indie game developer Shima Hinuko, who builds games with Unity and C#. With a strong engineering focus, Hinuko also takes on a range of creative and production roles, including scenario writing and direction; music is the stated exception. The portfolio spans projects across different formats and platforms, reflecting a hands-on approach to game development and related creative work.

Featured works include Nijifuru Umi, available for mobile, Nintendo Switch, and Steam, as well as the browser game Potorin. The portfolio also lists Mitsufuyu Tsukuku and Kansha no Manabiya, alongside animation work associated with the Anime × Game Jam supported by Unity. Paochanz shares development news, project updates, release announcements, and information about merchandise, including an online shop for Nijifuru Umi goods. The site also publishes technical notes, such as guidance on Unity builds and video playback on Linux machines. Visitors can contact the developer with game feedback, bug reports, or invitations; the site says replies to messages requiring a response are sent within three days.
