Hi folks! I'm an indie gamedev who loves hackathons and game jams, often open sourcing my projects.

My latest work was making the Digimon Watermelon game parody post a real game! 🍉😆

When exploring, beware the tax collector... !
He is Hydenel; Hydenel is he.

Respect his top hat. It makes him official. 🎩😈

Another personal creature design-- 🥹 Odinhund's inspired by the bull mastiff we had one day hoped to have.

Fun Fact: Hund means dog in several Nordic languages!

Our Discord bot game is much inspired by Neopets!

I loved the heck out of daily interest. So in the city for our game, I wanted a bank and tax collectors who could come after you-- 😵💰

The city also has slot machines and an underground ring, inspired by Detective Pikachu ☠️

Meet Crystrak, one of my personal favorite designs in our game--

Our reference board was filled with dragons and serpents. Two standouts were Red Eyes B. Chick from YuGiOh and jewel dragons from Cardfight Vanguard-- then, tada! 🎉

Tazank was the first creature designed!

But out of 30 people's votes, nobody chose him.

Data says he should be put aside & redone, but I foolishly decided I'd love him anyway. I want a game that others like, yet I also want to allow myself to love our game too.

Meet Shili, a creature in our game!

I love Lunar New Year, so for this design, I leaned heavily into the dragon dance and guardian lions.

As soon as my artist partner showed the first sketch, I knew she was perfect.
