Hey Gamers! My name is Sev and I'm a (student) indie game dev! Currently I am working on my first solo project "You Died!" - a choice based game that puts you in a unique position of grieving your own suicide and the life that led up to it.

Hi gamers!
Sorry for my inactivity - I finally got top surgery (yay!) and have been busy recovering and ensuring I don't fail my classes :P
So the game development fell to bottom of my to-do list. I still need some time to recover fully, but I will have updates for you soon!

To better equip myself for the design and development of my #indiegame, I have completed the ZSA autism suicide training. It helped me get a better understanding of the ways suicidality presents itself in Autistic people and acquire some prevention and support strategies.

The ways you re-gained hope for the future have inspired me, and I am positive your stories will help me create an #indiegame that can guide other people towards self-acceptance. #suicidepreventionweek

Repost (the last screnshot was really bad)

I still have to udpate all the normal maps so stay tuned for a better shot ;3

I'm trying out a new look for my Death character. They are a fusion of every person that has ever died. I want them to be all-knowing and intimidating while remaining delicate and understanding.
Curious to hear what you think about it! Would you change anything?

The game I wanna make is something cute! The player is a raccoon waiter whose goal is to sneak as many leftovers to take home at the end of each day. Why let other people's food go to waste?!
