Very heavily writing at the moment so not much to "show" in terms of #ScreenshotSaturday ...

Currently have the map drawn on good ole pen & paper

When I was first getting back into Game Desgin / Unity, I started this visual novel based on a script I wrote in undergrad called "PRESSING BUTTONS." Maybe one day worth a finish and a free release on itch?

Title Screen + Title Track

(i'm definitely going to change the title i consider this more of a project codename)

My first ever LMMS project, been fun to explore the world of soundfonts, MIDIs, VST-plugins, etc. Solo dev may make an audio designer out of me yet... #gamedesign #indiegamedev

Happy #screenshotsaturday! Here's an unlockable lore drop in the first scene of Codename Project: The Industrial Revolution and its Consequences. #gamedesign #indiegamedev #visualnovel #art #2dart #unity2d

Quick, rough launch screen! Definitely going to change the title, this is more so a project codename. #art #gamedesign #solodev #indiegamedev

First concept vs most recent concept. Very happy with my decision to change art styles :)

Ink files have been written…now working on the art to hold the content. Just some rough UI concepting to get what’s in my noggin out! #unity2d #gamedev #gamedesign

Character Concepts! Art is by far the scariest part of solo dev to me, I’m much more comfortable in programming, engine, and storytelling so enjoy these lil dudes :)
