Came across this comic I made in 2020 while I was looking through old art to put on my neocities site.

My chest may be flatter now, but the imposter syndrome is here to stay.
A four panel comic. In the first panel, I'm putting up a small picture on a wall. The caption reads "Art for a project I'm working on". The second panel shows a generic person coming up to the picture and saying "This is pretty cool! I'm looking forward to it." The third panel shows the person and I smiling at each other without any dialogue. The fourth panel shows a close up of me still smiling, but now I'm sweating and there's an ominous shadow over my face. I reply "Please don't" as the person looks at me in confusion.

I've discovered that Milanote works really well for my brainstorming/outlining style so I'm just over here with boards and boards of lore like:

Fetch Quest Remastered, an updated version of my comedy/otome VN about a TTRPG session gone wrong is coming out later this year!

It's longer, has new art/CGs/UI, and a new "true" end that leads into a sequel (also releasing soon!)

Wishlist it now on Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/2553660/

A screenshot of a zoomed in CG. Wrapped in a red cloak, Flora rests her head on Connor's shoulder. She is looking up at him and blushing. In the textbox, she says "Huh...?" A screenshot showing Todd smiling smugly while some random villagers look on. In the textbox, Todd says "Eh-hem. Well then, perhaps you've wondered 'Is it possible to perform magic while also playing kazoo?'" A screenshot showing a player choice. In the textbox, Flora says "If connor doesn't see me stealing, it should be fine, right?". The choices presented are "Roll a perception check." and "It's too risky."

I've drawn a whole 2 things for myself this year (ie not for Fetch Re;Quest), and this is one of them. I miss my terrible, rude man...

Used a photo ref from pinterest for this one.

Feels weird to post this in the current climate, but I crocheted this baby blanket (and bear beanie) for a friend and I'm pretty proud of it.

It's a nice repetitive design and whipped up quickly- perfect for keeping my hands busy during a stressful week.
Picture of a baby blanket I crocheted. It's a square of 4 triangle motifs made of granny stripes. The stripes alternate white with a brown/tan/green/blue ombre.

Happy #ScreenshotSaturday!

Unlike the first game, Fetch Re;Quest mostly takes place irl instead of inside a ttrpg. That means you get to meet some new characters like Todd's younger brother Teddy, a human ray of sunshine 🌞

Screenshot of my upcoming game, Fetch Re;Quest. It shows Teddy smiling happily while Todd looks annoyed. In the textbox, Todd says "Seriously...?"

Still buried in the CG drawing mines 🙃 but this is my favorite Flora face so far. Don't worry, she's fine. She's just dramatic.

A screenshot of part of a CG from my upcoming game, Fetch Re;Quest. In it, Flora is in a dark, neon-lit room looking desperately at something off screen as tears well in her eyes.

In the final sprint drawing CGs for Fetch Re;Quest. My boy is very cute, if I do say so myself.

Two bust-up sketches of Dan, the love interest from my upcoming game Fetch Re;Quest. He has fluffy, wavy hair. In the first drawing, he is looking nervously down at the floor. in the second, he looks off to the side with a fond smile.

Happy Pride! I'm a gay trans man, and most of my characters are some shade of the rainbow as well.

My games are a lot like me- They may have started out as straight-passing, but they're only gonna get more queer as time goes on.
An image showing some of my game characters with their pride flags behind them. They are as follows- Fetch Quest: Connor - Panromantic Demisexual Todd - Bisexual Dan - Trans Flora - Pansexual Red-Handed Robin: Robin - Bisexual Wren - Pansexual Jay - Biromantic Demisexual Fletcher - Gay Pirated Code: Seren - Nonbinary Dex - Panromantic Asexual Operator/Owen - Gay

In Fetch Re;Quest, Flora has a Plan™ and she is sticking to it.

I've been sick with a cold for over a week now and haven't been able to work on dev stuff 😞

Mindlessly crocheting these granny squares is all that's keeping me sane at this point. At least I'll have a fat stack of them by the time I've fully recovered!

Realized I've never posted a pic of my other dog, Lola! Here's one of them together.
A picture of my dogs, Garnet and Lola. Garnet is a small black and tan german shepherd mix, and Lola is a red standard poodle. They're in my back yard, which is littered with pear blossoms, and looking up at the camera expectantly.

My partner and I were really missing having two dogs after our senior girl passed, so we decided it was time for a new family member.

This is our new pup, Garnet! She looks like a goober in every pic I take of her 😂
A high angle picture of my dog, Garnet. She's a black and tan mixed breed pup with a saddle pattern and cocked ears. She's sitting and looking up at the camera with a goofy, toothy smile.

Today seems like an appropriate day to share this cut-in I just drew for Fetch Re;Quest!

If you play your cards right, Flora gets to visit a bunny cafe with a special someone 🐰

Was looking for something in a junk closet and got jumpscared by the life sized cutout of special agent Dale Cooper that I completely forgot I owned 😂

It's #TransDayOfVisibility , so hello! I'm Milo, a trans game dev/narrative designer making queer SFF/romance visual novels.

Trans people are cool and you should support them by buying their games, books, art, whatever! Queer art is rad!
A selfie pic of me. I'm standing in front of a brick wall and smiling slightly. I'm white and have medium-length denim colored hair and a patchy trans-guy mustache.

You're not letting me win, are you?" A screenshot of a CG from my demo game, Red-Handed Robin 2: The Scarecrow Knight.

Had to say goodbye to my old pup yesterday. She was having trouble keeping any food down, and was clearly just really uncomfortable in general.

She's been with me and my partner essentially our entire adult lives, so it was hard to see her go. Rest easy now, Ruby. You were a good, stinky girl.

A very recent picture of Ruby, my black, tan, and white tricolor beagle. Her face markings are entirely white by this point. She's standing and looking at the camera, not doing anything interesting. I'm just glad I have a recent picture of her.

Got another influx of new followers recently, so I guess it's time to re-re-reintroduce myself! I'm Milo, a trans/AuDHD game dev making visual novels ✨

I'm currently working on Fetch Re;Quest, a sequel to my very first otome VN. You can find my other games on steam and itch!
