THE FIRST HALF OF CHAPTER 4 IS NOW LIVE!

Everyone, I’ve been working on this for months now, and the impressive and also sad part is; it’s only halfway done! But it’s also 60k words and brings the average playthrough of the demo to 65k words long, so I figured it was worth uploading. Can’t go too long without an update, right?

In this update, pair with Lance and Alvarez as you infiltrate the abandoned warehouse with the S.W.A.T. team on a mission to take down the suspects and end put a close on this case once and for all! There are a lot of different branches to this one. Like… maybe more than I realistically needed. But, I wanted people to be able to craft their own story and make sure they had something to come back to a second time around if they were so inclined. I may even go back and add a little more to parts of this scene before the official release, but that’s a discussion for another day.

Thank you all so much for supporting me, whether you’re a paid member or a free member, and I hope you all continue to enjoy the story I’m crafting!

Being a solo developer is taking a break from game development to work on another aspect of game development.

Tired of level design , time to code.

Tired of coding, open up aseprite and draw some sprites baby.

Sick of drawing, those sound effects need effecting bro.

All sound effected out, level design time.

Eventually it work out to completing something even though I never seem to make huge leaps of progress

I made a short visual novel in 7 days for Scream Jam 2024 on itch.io! It's my first jam and first game!

I'm so honored the game got 8th in best stories and was selected as one of the gHosts' choices!

Night Drive is around 10-15 mins long with multiple hand-drawn CGs and has 4 possible endings, currently. (There will be another chapter updated to the game in the future. I had the draft written but couldn't make it to the jam.)

Play the game on Itch.io!

Happy Halloween everyone! ヾ(*ΦωΦ)ツ

Finding a name

I had the PERFECT name. It was short, easy to remember, mysterious and were represantative for the essence of the game.

It's the name of a random roblox game.

Well, my second idea was Grit&Gloam. I want it to be gobliny, without being too gobliny. What do you think about it?

*The Veil is some kind of magical "thingie" in the game. The creatures that accompany our hero are called Veilkin.

I'm thinking about naming the "village" Veilspire. Hmmm...

Oh and the perfect name was Veilbound. It's taken. I could cry.

some screenshots from my indie game, Dirthead! some of these have WIP elements, but they all do a good job showing off the game's atmosphere, I think

Chapter 4 Victim’s House route is FINISHED!

Hello all! As the title says, the newest part of Chapter 4 is completely finished and ready to play! A couple things to mention, there is a TW for mentions of SA and Torture in this chapter. This is a mature story with mature themes, and the themes in question are handled with the utmost of care and respect. 

Another thing worth mentioning is, TEXT BOX INVESTIGATIONS ARE A THING! I FIGURED OUT HOW TO MAKE THEM A THING THAT WORKED! Okay, so they break randomtest in CSIDE, small downside. But other than that, from what I tested (for hours today) they work just fine and I am very proud of myself for figuring it out. It may be a pretty small feat, but darn if it doesn’t feel cool to be able to implement a feature in these games the isn’t just click a button on the screen. 

It took a lot of work, and there are still additional features that aren’t going to be out until the full release of the game/when I get around to adding them (like a record of all the clues you’ve found for the current investigation, which will be able to be accessed through the stats menu). For people that aren’t a fan of the text box investigations, I would like to add that in the final product, they will be optional. 

This has been months in the making (mainly because school was a thing) so I truly hope you enjoy, and let the investigation now fully be under way, and don’t forget to check out the new EXTRA SCENE in the stats menu in the beginning of the game, after reading Special Agent Lance’s session with Dr. Cullen!

Weekend Update 🍬 - Reintroducing motion particles and footsteps! Unfortunately, some stuff came up during the week and I wasn't able to get Dotties done in time. I ended up making some last minute changes behind the scenes to how footsteps and particles are handled, along with making a few updates to Professor Quark's art though!

Also something very important...

Happy.
