dev log 1

welcome to my first dev log! i have been hard at work on my project and i have the basic mvp version of the game done. now all that's left is.. not having the game be 90% placeholder rpgmaker assets..

and balancing gameplay and.... eventing the final level. easy!

for today, have some concept designs of the playable characters~

you will be going on a quest as a pissed off mushroom. a pretty big departure from cute anime boys, but when working on this i actually started with a concept for a darker rpg, with anime boys (and girls). it might still come into fruition one day, but i decided on a lighter tone with characters who were easier to sprite.

my hope is that it's a 10-20 minute game with a silly vibe that i can use to test my hand at eventing, battling, and re-remembering rpgmaker.

so that's all for today, thanks for reading!

hello everyone! exciting news! i’ve been cooking up a secret something for @choko-flan‘s space bunny jam. you’ll be playing as thomas who collects flowers to meet the star prince. it’s a short platformer that i hope you’ll enjoy. 💙

here’s a little sneak peak!

just wanted everyone to know i’ve finally been able to work more on my new game! i’m not sure still how much i want to tell you guys about it, because i’d like to keep some things a surprise. these are just currently the best looking maps, but there’s a lot more being worked on. it’s been a constant challenge figuring out exactly what story i wanted to tell with this game, but i’m finally making some headway! i’m hoping to release this game sometime early next year, but with the development progress still very early i don’t have a set date just yet.

hopefully! i’ll be able to update you guys with some sneak peeks every week, so keep an eye out for more.

okay i know i said the 31st... but...

IT’S HERE!

after rigorous testing, debugging, adding npcs and easter eggs, Sleepless is finally ready for it’s full release! it’s been a long journey but i’m proud of how things turned out. it’s definitely a whole new game compared to the initial demo, and it has everything i had envisioned in the original (with some new stuff as well!)

i want to say a special thank you to the rpgmaker community for inspiring me and being such a talented and welcoming place to be. also, to my boyfriend @pixel-pumpkins who’s put up with me asking for help along the way and always been more than willing to encourage and support me. 💕 and to anyone who’s reached out and given me support and saw my vision in the original demo!

thank you so much!

hello everyone! 

just wanted to reach out and say thank you for the support and for deciding to follow me this year. it’s been a very interesting year for me personally, but i’m so happy to finally be making games and creating narrative, playable work. i honestly didn’t expect this many people to be interested in what i was making so it’s made me extremely happy!

i’ve been working on a larger project, but keeping it under wraps because i have a tendency to drop things often. i’m planning on releasing some version of it in the next year, as well as continuing development on sleepless. here’s a teaser of my larger project (^:

i’ve put out a one question survey on sleepless if you’re interested in filling out:

again thank you so much for following my work!!
