I am a solo dev, and most of the games I plan to make here will most likely be relatively small. (I do have plans for larger games. But those will be on a different account, this one is for smaller ones)

Hey :D guess what :D

Don’t worry, I am still working on the Untitled Whump Game, but I have also dug up another old project and I’m going to be working on that too :))

It’s kind of a different vibe, still pretty whumpy I think, but like. Idk it’s just a slightly different vibe.

It is titled ‘Before I Die’!! Title may be subject to change. Anyways I’m excited about it :D more updates soon hopefully ^^

Heyyy everyone!! Sorry for no updates in a while.. I had probably the worst OCD spiral since 2022 over the weekend and I couldn’t do any work on the game 😭 I am back now though. Hi :D

(Random, I kinda want to make a discord server for my development stuff.. however I have slight discord trauma and have not been on it since the incident™️ in 2023. Idk)

Hey guys check out this cover art I made the other day :D

Her name is Rose and she’s the protagonist for Untitled Whump Game :))

I’ll post more about her and hints for the game story soon probably. I’m excited and I hope y’all are too :>

(If you’d like to help me flesh her out, ask me something about her or tell me your thoughts and I’ll answer!! Don’t feel obligated tho)

Whumpee sat in pitch darkness. The only sensation they had was a heavy shackle around their ankle and a bad bruise to their temple.

A dim light flicked on as Whumper clumped down the steps. They set a plate in front of them, something that looked like it was made with great care. Whumper then set a steaming cup of coffee and nudged it toward them.

"An apology," Whumper spoke softly, "For the bang on the head. I didn’t mean to hit you so hard."

'"An apology-" Whumpee repeated sarcastically, "So what am I, your guest?"

"No. No, you're not a guest." Whumper rubbed their nose.

"Guests are allowed to leave."

I HAVE AN IDEA!!!

so, my last post was a poll, where i asked if y’all would prefer the whump game i’m working on to feature an original character, or feature a customizable character.

the majority voted for a customizable character, but i had an idea for an original character, but i thought of a compromise!! what if we did both??

i could do two versions, one with the original character and one with the customizable one. idk. i just thought of this so idk if this makes any sense or not. i’d love y’all’s opinion tho!! :D

edit: i’m just really leaning more toward original character. idk

[games-by-eight]

hi, i was hoping for y’all’s opinion on something..

so about the game i’m making, would you guys prefer if it was about an actual character, or if you have the option to choose your own name/gender/appearance??

would you rather the game be about an actual character, or would you like to customize the character??

i would like it to be about an actual character :D

i would prefer to customize my own character :))

results (developer’s option :D)

Voting ended onJun 28, 2025

(more context, if i end up making the character customizable, i plan for there to be a default character, like a canon character, if that makes any sense?? like the canon character would appear in like, covers or art i make or whatever. and if i end up not making the character customizable, then that canon character will just be the one appearing. if that makes any sense at all)

(honestly i’m leaning more towards an actual character, but i’d like to see what you guys think before deciding :))

[games-by-eight]

Took me a few minutes but the customization options are all done :D unless I think of any more. Idk. (Customizable name, gender, and appearance so far :D)

(I know I only just made this blog today lol 😭 but to be fair I have been working on this game for like.. a few weeks or a month at least. Plus I tend to work very fast when I’m excited about something :D)
