Been a while since I made a post on here - it’s hard to post things on the internet…

But I thought I’d share that I’m now working as the Art Director for a game called HyperTyper 2000! It looks and plays pretty dang good, if I say so myself…

The demo for HyperTyper2000 is out now on Steam, and will probably be receiving major updates as we keep updating the game’s art! I do recommend giving it a play!

Honestly, I don’t get a lot of traction on Tumblr, but I do like “blogging” what I’m working on so that I can try to get a sort of archived timeline of the work I’m doing. So stay tuned for more updates!

Hallow Grove fun fact: Death’s Library was at first a temporary “guest room” that was modeled after the furniture in my actual bedroom. it was intended for an early access release where you could go up to a sprite of real me and talk to me about the game’s development

I decided to pass on an early access release since I didn’t see the point, so we got Death’s Library instead! Isn’t that neat?

TRASH DUNGEON. DEMO OUT NOW. ON STEAM AND ITCH.IO.

Hey everyone! The DEMO for Trash Dungeon is finally out now - both on Steam and Itch.io!

What was originally just a short, punchy game-jam game has been turning into a more fleshed out roguelike.

It’s still pretty early on in development, so expect way more for this project in due time!

Some enemy designs I made for a project I’m workin on called Trash Dungeon - it’s a game jam game I made a few months ago, which I will be expanding upon!

mockup for a new dialogue box style. trying out some new talksprite styles, a different font, and a different textbox. i feel like this look gives the game more of that distinct retro vibe, and it gives it some stylistic maturity

Good mornin gamers!

It’s been a while since I’ve posted - I’ve been working on a lot of small, different projects. Things I’ve completed, things that are still in progress, and things that’re still forming.

I was pretty busy for a bit, which explains my lack of activity on here - it’s hard to keep up with sometimes, especially with everything going on. But I would love to give a bit more time to this devlog - I wanna share my things and connect more with others.

So thanks to anyone reading this, checking out the devlog, or just visiting for the first time. If you played or liked Party on Hallow Grove, I’m excited to show you what’s been in the works, and what’s next!

For now, here is a drawing of a new lil guy - their name is Coda (he/they), a boy from a distant planet with the power to tap into the electricity around him, and so much more…

Here’s a lil saturday update - we’ve got string lights up in the mansion! 🧡✨💜
In Hallow Grove, one of your tasks is that you’ll need to help decorate Death’s mansion since Lucy is all passed out. So you get to deck out the crib with pretty halloween lights!
