Today is a very special day.


Why? On August 1, 2023, I purchased RPG Maker MV and began my game development journey. It's been two years, so let's have a little chat.

First off, thank you. Thank you so much. I don't have a lot to say except it's been awesome watching everyone here grow in their skills whether it's art, game dev, or music.

There's a song by the artist Marino that I connect with, as a part it kinda describes how it started for me:

"He works a nine-to-five
Then goes out with his friends on a Friday night
Then repeats it all again
But he's doing fine
Financially stable with a decent life
But deep inside

He's always wanted more
But too afraid to open up that door
He's 21 but he knows life is short
And being poor is better than having regrets

So he takes all the money that he has
To try and live a dream that he had
All his friends start to think he's going mad
But he's all in and never looking back"

-From "All In" by Marino

See what I'm saying? What's also funny is the song released in October 2023. How ironic. But seriously, go check him out. He makes relatable songs and drops like every other month.

With that said, it's been great so far, and here's to another great year of game development! Although I've gotta run. Thanks, everybody!

God bless all of you, and I'll see ya soon!

I have tons more free time than I thought I would. :P Still won't post much for the summer, but still.

Madeline is the main protagonist of the mountain climbing platformer, Celeste. The game has been praised for its visuals, gameplay, and introspective narrative. The game's creator Maddy Thorson confirmed that Madeline is trans in 2020.

I swear I haven't forgotten about this game, it'll come out someday.

Dive into the cozy post-apocalyptic open world of Critter Cove!

Gentleman Rat Studios (@GR-Rob ) describe it as “a little bit Animal Crossing, a little bit Stardew Valley. Maybe even a little bit Windwaker, too."

Some fanart of Kyle x Violet from @Mr-Bad 's "Outcasts".

I drew some character's in the OMORI artstyle!

[Character list in article!]

Mae Borowski is the main character of Night in the Woods! It's an adventure game that tells the story of her return to her hometown of Possum Springs. She was confirmed as canonically pan in a social media post by the game's creator Scott Benson.
