Intro

Alright, finally fixing this damn post

I'm Riply, go by Rip, or RJ.

I'm a beginner indie developer, as well as an artist, and I've only really made visual novels, but I'm working on learning RPGMaker so we'll see if that goes anywhere.

Aside from that, I really like pokemon (My favorite is Minin) and horror games, And just plenty of other stuff. Too many interests to put in one place. If you want to know just ask. Below I'm gonna put some game dev plans, stuff I plan to work on in the ways of public knowledge so you can get an idea of what's getting made when. It's all gonna change semi-frequently.

Long Term Project- Sleepy Shepard

Martha is a normal college student, who just happens to have a god living in her closet. On her way to school one day, they get lost on the other side together.

A multi-reality RPGmaker story.

Short Term Project- Unnamed

A short visual novel where a wolf and his girlfriend get snowed in. Just a few days of cute interactions and cooking food (The food I make on a regular basis) Something I'm working on for fun, since I haven't completed a project in a while, and Sleepy Shepard is going to be in progress for a long time.

it's okay if your art isn't impressive to your friends, it's okay if you're not very good at any of your hobbies, it's okay if you don't share your life on social media. you don't have to be good and you don't have to prove anything. your life isn't a performance.

Back to it. Here's hoping *something* comes out this year

Forgot how much i enjoyed writing something or other every week, to keep my thoughts straight.

These past two months, I made the only game I actually finished in 2025, a gift for my friend for Christmas. It felt nice, just kinda letting myself complete something?

Yeah, not gorgeous or polished or anything but he liked it.

And hey, I only really make my games for myself and my girlfriend, so getting in my head about making games is just stupid and annoying like nobody gives a shit XD

Doing some small redesigns on a group of characters from a while back that I'd really like to start actually concepting the game for. Poor Elowen needs to see the light of day eventually.

[melancolymilk]

First two are some design ideas for this winter (I have a little kinetic novel planned, thinking maybe Feburary)

An OC-Tober drawing of Beacon and Cooper as Discord and Fluttershy, cause I love them. I might post the rest of OC-tober here eventually

Another concept, but for a game I'm probably not gonna make for a while anyways

and then another OC-Tober drawing, of Martha and Omnira in footie pajammas. It looks a little weird lol but whatever. I really gotta draw them more, or they're gonna look weird in game.

Drawing this cutie

Practicing the gradient map! I should go back to drawing fanart, is there a fandom you guys would like me to stick to?? Or should I do oc’s

[littlehungrywarrior]

LOVE YOUR OCS!!! YOU DID GREAT ON THEM!! EVEN IF THEYRE OVERPOWERED!! EVEN IF THEYRE EDGY!! EVEN IF THEYRE CLICHE!! YOU PUT SO MUCH TIME AND EFFORT INTO THEM AND YOU SHOULD LOVE THEM AND LOVE YOURSELF FOR MAKING THEM!!! 

[melancolymilk]

Oh no I have a type (These are all men)

Now all I need is a big sexy lady with a six pack..

I'll learn how to draw someone like that eventually

[melancolymilk]

Love your game so much!! It's so good!!

Thank you so much! I don't know which you're talking about but I'm really glad you liked it, and I'm working hard to make more!

Severed head under cut? (it's not detailed but it's there)

[pipa-00]

A bit of drawing today, hello again! I’ll try to be more active

Art for current game project, small update

I've been doing so much coding I have to drag myself away from the computer to draw, and I just finished chapter 0/the prologue

I have to concept the first chapter.

Here's some of my first doodles of the main characters.

less focused;

Was pretty convinced I had more art of my concepts oops I definitely need to work on that.

Also ignore me forgetting what hexagons look like.

Chapter 0 is almost 100% together, it can be played through and stops where Chapter 1 will start. I'm going to be drafting Chapter 1, there's already a few WIPs of maps for it, but not much else.

Also made a tag for the game, so I can keep track of what I post about it

I'm not dead yet.

In regret from making the rooms so big

Some redesigns/refs for Artfight this year

Fun as hell to make and thank god I'm early and not panicking this year. Means I have time to make a couple extras to add more of my new characters >:3c

I really need to fix Diamants he looks so fucking weird without his freckles but I'll do that later
