Video game developer, author and game artist. I'm currently developing my 2nd video game, "Broken Ceiling: Wandering Island", a cosmic suspense adventure.
Chuck is stuck on an alien world with everything that creeps crawls, gallops, and phases trying to kill him. (Kind of sounds like Australia).
Our protagonist isn't defenseless though.
Concepts!

Analog isn't dead with this video game dev! Long live ink and paper!
Chuck, our protagonist, has been cursed with a mutated arm.
Now... I just have to find ways to turn it into fun weapons.

Exciting news!
Chuck, the protagonist of my game is going to have a irl version. The work on designing the plushie is underway.
The designer insisted on the toe beans.
I couldn't stop her.

Crocket!
From quick sketch to something more refined. The character is relatively the same for now. I'll work on him more as the game develops.
Friend or foe? What do you think?

This is Chuck.
He fell through a crack in the universe—and landed in a prison built for gods.
Now he’s hunted by monsters, shadows… and something that twists inside him.
I'm building the game that tells his story.
When it’s ready… he’s going to need your help.

Alrighty then!
I’ll post the revised version of Crocket here in a bit, but in the meantime, here’s some nightmare fuel for you.
Another "friend" for the protagonist of the game.😁

Hello Everybody!
Chuck has gone through some changes and with those changes come a brand new player sprite.
We can rebuild him. We have the technology. Better... Stronger... Faster.

The protagonist of the new video game I'm working on, is a rabbit named Chuck.
This monster is designed to hunt Chuck.
Run Chuck.

Why just stay with flesh and blood monsters, when you can have cosmically charged shadows hunting the protagonist?

Our little protagonist "Chuck" does seem to get himself into the weirdest/creepiest places. He told me he saw some loot down there.

Hmmm. So our little rabbit protagonist "Chuck", needs to eventually beat this guy. I'm really going to have to design some cool weapon upgrades and maybe even some armour.
