A first-time Puerto Rican developer from Brooklyn, NY, self-taught in game design, art direction, and coding in under a year, creating the first serious sumo narrative RPG, blending authentic Japanese culture with a heartfelt slice-of-life story.

My first game.
It crashes sometimes. The art’s not final. Characters occasionally fall into the void of nothingness. But it runs. It’s real.
My daughter was the first to play it. She laughed at the funny parts.
That alone made everything worth it.

If you are underage, you should tell an adult if someone older than you is trying to talk to you privately and be personal in a flirty way. Your idols/inspirations should not EVER be trying to connect with you personally if you are underage.
There's no good reason.

Back in April, I didn’t know what a Dialogic was.
Today, it runs the story systems in my first game.
This still shows our first working narrative scene.
