Starry Flowers PSDs

this one took a while to put together because there were so many files! this game had way too much art... oh but i love it all... heheh

btw if you open the timeline window in photoshop, you can really easily go through the cg and bg files (some of them had specific combinations of layers/folders to turn on and off so i figured i'd make it easy)

enjoy! <3

it ended up being 49 pages... omg... usually these things are only like 20...!

anyway i hope everyone enjoys! thanks for you patience, it took all week to put this thing together haha

thanks so much for your support! <3

hello 👀

i started making this game in december and mostly worked on it in secret... because it involves existing characters from my other games, i wanted it to be a big surprise.

2021 plans!

happy new year! i figured now's a good time to reveal some of the stuff i've been working on, and give a general update on the progress of things...

i've unfortunately found myself juggling 5 games again. it's been so hard for me to finish things lately (i technically only released one new game last year, oops...) but i'm pretty sure i'll be able to get a few of these done before the end of this new year!!

i made an RPG framework for ren'py!

i forgot to post here when i first released it, but SYRUP LITE RPG FRAMEWORK is out!

since i spent so much time coding the systems in syrup 2, i really wanted to make it so other people could use them to make their own games. so i made stripped down versions of all the screens and spent a few days writing up documentation for how everything works!

SYRUP 5TH ANNIVERSARY SPECIAL!

syrup and the ultimate sweet was released on halloween of 2015! which makes tomorrow its 5 year anniversary!!

to celebrate, i'm releasing the work i've done so far on its direct sequel...

SYRUP 2: CANDY ALCHEMY RPG!

since this is a demo release and not the full game, i won't be charging anyone at this time. there are still some unfinished assets, but there's 2-3 hours of story content that's all pretty much finished, so it should be pretty close to how the f...

treat animations!

back in 2017 (what feels like a century ago now) while i was working on indivisible, i started animating treat as if she was one of the incarnations in the game. i have a hard time getting myself to animate for fun, but when it's a character i love to draw, and a specific checklist of things to draw her doing, IT TURNS OUT i can actually do it pretty well!

anyway, now that indiv is finished and i no longer work for lab zero, i realized it's a good time to finally share these!

NEW SONG! shifting (feat. Eleanor Forte Lite)

i finished another vocal track! i've been working on it nonstop for the last few days so i'm glad i can finally share it!!

here's the music video

...i never know how much i should say about the lyrics. because music is so personal, i don't want to take away others' interpretations of it. but at the same time, it's interesting to hear people's motivations for what they make... and patreon is ...

BAD END THEATER - test build download

as promised, i have a build of the project i've been referring to as pixel VN!

summary:
there are 4 characters to play as: hero, maiden, underling, and overlord. decisions you make in one story affects the others. you can toggle these behaviors to open up new paths! unfortunately, they're all bad endings... can you find a way to save these unfortunate actors?

content warning:
blood, gore, violence, strong language

2020 plans (revised)!

back in january i wrote up a loose schedule of game releases i had planned... BUT LITTLE DID WE KNOW... covid-19 was about to destroy all plans for everyone ever.

so for the sake of transparency i wanted to give an update on all my longer-running projects. this past week i started coming out of my burnout fog and was able to work normally for the first time in what feels like forever! so i'm feelin...

NEW SONG! raining, pouring (feat. Eleanor Forte Lite)

ok you probably expected game-related updates, but hear me out...

this is my first ever song with vocals! i've been playing around with synthesizer v a lot this past week, and i'm really loving it! i've always wanted to make vocaloid-type stuff, and i finally found the energy/inspo to do it... i'm so happy...

someday i'll be able to make anime theme songs for my games... >:)

anyway, here's the View Post

drowning, drowning PSDs

the drawings this time were mostly pixel art! some files are kind of a mess (tons of unnamed layers etc) but they might be fun to poke around in.

also, there's one file in there i didn't have room for in the pdf. (i definitely didn't forget about it until i started putting this together...! that's not what happened!!!!!)

enjoy <3

drowning, drowning - art collection+guide

the pdf for this game is here!! (i finished it yesterday but i waited to post in case i needed to edit anything...)

it's 12 pages! there's only one alternate ending in the game, so the guide is more about miss-able dialogue or things players might not see on their first time through the game.

enjoy!!!!!

I FINISHED A NEW RPG MAKER GAME!!

this project originally started as an rpg maker 2003 game for my first game jam 2020 but the program was unexpectedly difficult to work with so i switched back over to the usual vx ace 

i'm pretty happy with how it turned out! just a fun underwater adventure with some dark themes hidden in there... speaking of which...

i wrote a little design guide for VNs!

in case anyone missed it, i released a short pdf today!

it's full of tips and little illustrations, mostly about fonts and textboxes. there are a lot of links with information on how to design with accessibility in mind, too. it's mainly for developers working with ren'py, but i figured anyone interested in VNs in general might find something useful in there too!

here's the download, it's totally freeeeee:

fish game v0.1

by some miracle... a small rpg maker game i started for a game jam is coming along quite nicely!!!!!

about half of the story is in there, and you can explore the whole underwater town :) there's no music yet so play some cute ocean jams in the background while you explore!

i plan on finishing this month, considering it only took one week to make it this far :D

hope you enjoy!

(also this build has a few known bugs but feel free to tell me if you run into them)

hi everyone :) i wanted to make a general update to let you guys know where i'm at, and what you can (most likely) expect this year!

last night i took a look back at all of my currently unfinished projects to see if there was anything i'd be able to finish up relatively fast (since the last new game i was able to release came out in june 2019...) and the result was... OH NO... all my ideas have been too big... i'm juggling a bunch of things in development hell!! i guess it's not a bad i...

"last time, treat and mochi came home to see their garden destroyed... so now, mochi must return to frosting on her own to try to find the culprit. but that also means facing her cousin for the first time in half a year... "

SO... I ENDED UP FINISHING THIS? i wanted to at least make another test build before i spend a week at my parents' house, but since everything in it is finished, i don't see the point in making you guys wait much longer.

i know everyone has been dying...

whew boy this is a heavy one. get ready to dive into some bad feelings!

  • to run the game you'll need to have the rpgmaker vx ace rtp downloaded

Contract Demon PSDs

16 files in this one! most of the assets aren't split up (all the backgrounds in one psd, all the busts in another, etc) because that was what was most convenient while i worked. so there's some big ones in there!!

also, i realized earlier that i forgot olog's concept art in the art collection pdf... so i made sure i put him in here haha

wow, so i managed to finish my nanoreno project nearly a week early this year? i guess since these characters have been around for so long it was really easy to write :) speaking of which, I'VE WAITED SO LONG FOR A CHANCE TO GIVE KAMILLA AND ELENI THEIR OWN GAME! NOW IT'S FINALLY HERE!!

Contract Demon - first build download

hi guys! i decided to participate in NaNoRenO this year! i took the opportunity to finally make a game about my demon and angel pair, kamilla and eleni. it’s 6.2k words, and it’s a kinetic novel, meaning there are no choices or other game-y aspects. it’s just one straight readthrough. also, a mild content warning: this game is gonna be recommended ages 16+ due to discussion of sexual topics, and strong language. there’s nothing explicit in the game, and it doesn’t go into any detail...

Another Piece of Candy: Sweet Fusions - early prototype

SURPRISE!! over the last few days i've been working on a fusing card game that will eventually include MANY MANY cards (thus the "another piece of candy" title), but for now, only has characters from the lonely wolf treat series.

there's a quick tutorial in the game, but basically you chose two cards from your hand and combine them into a stronger card, which is then matched against your opponent's card (which is just the AI, i can't make multiplayer games lol) and whoever fuses the cut...
