Last weekend I was at Nordic Game Jam in Copenhagen! Approx 500 people came from all over the world and made game prototypes in just x48 hours. My team made a co-op arena game about using mirrors to concentrate UV beams to charge up an objective-marker bulb. Oh and by the way, the arena is being attacked by energy vampires, flying decapitated Frankenstein-monster heads and swarms of blood bats! Want to try it out yourself? Or with a friend? Try it out here:

These are a couple of GIFs from our gameplay video of the museum game, Old Souls. It was a collaboration project between bachelors and master game-students at KADK. I was the Art Director on the project, but I also ended up producing some assets (but I love doing that).
Spend the day on this title logo for the museum game. The font is made by Alexis Emmanuel Lozano and colours by me.
So Nordic Game Jam is now over and I worked with a bunch of talented, lovely people to make a game where you gather a band in purgatory in order to convince Saint Peter to let you into heaven.
Get it here! Yes, for free. (disclaimer: if you end up in hell, it's game over.) https://olmo.itch.io/die-beat-repeat
I have been posting a making-of thread on twitter about my semester project, GraviTurner. It's a pulp sci-fi puzzle platformer about space-princesses and it was made along side Laura B., Laura U. and Lonnie K. S. Go have a look :D

Our merch store is reopened for the first time in over a year!
We've got some very limited Kickstarter leftovers, and some also-kinda-limited new things - an XL desk mat and a set of 5012 keychains! ⤵️
Our store is in Australian Dollars! Please convert that to see how much items/shipping are in your own currency.
If you're not from Australia, please keep in mind that international shipping (i.e to the US and EU) can be pricey. The desk mat in particular is nearly a kilogram itself.
I had to put him in this dress
what are you going to dress him up in? (feel free to draw/edit over!!!)
don't forget to check out our Kickstarter too!
Thing from a visual novel project I am working on.
Literally my husband. I couldn’t believe that me teasing him so much while also showing him I do care had me fall head over heels
i love you mister casper adatewithdeath
Footage from the Zelda 2 like im Making called 'Sheep Lad' smaller entities and Enemies can be satisfyingly juggled
Has anyone been wondering
why mages commonly wear robes and other stuff when they're vulnerable to physical attacks? Especially in some battle where all the mages are in the back row relying only on their magic to not get fataly injured. What if mages were in full armor that sacrificed movement for protection? Most mages aren't going to move that often (they're usually shut in nerds that studied indoors for years), so it would be silly to have them focus on silly things like casting shields to not die and stuff.
Idk why I'm sharing my random thoughts. Maybe I'll add it into my game or something.
I am currently in the process of rewriting a lot of lore and stuff
i was bored so i made itch.io for the game
i love procrastinating on adding basic stuff like battle animations because most of the battle code was written at midnight for some reason and i literally cannot comprehend it.
i made concept for character for gaem
my puns know no bounds.
Development Update 2025/2/6
apparently we decided to announce this game right before our lives became extremely busy. Currently I am only able to have frequent communication with the playtester. The other guys (which consisted entirely of somewhat close friends) i haven't talked to in months due to having no time. i'm probably going to try and communicate with them again (when i have time).
the point of this post is to say that this game will now be releasing in 2069 because why the hell not. the team also might have a larger-that-i-would-like-to-admit chance of having only one developer and one playtester. so this might be more of a solo-dev than team-dev or something idk how shit works here i'm just shooting for the random rock 50 miles away and hoping for the best lol.
anyways i'm probably going to be more active and shit and maybe post a few funny things because i need follower plz follow me i need attentiona;sldkfj;aslkdjg;alghkwoir.
I'm almost finished with very beginning of the game and can't wait to send it to the playtester to see how long it can last.
Dvelopment update:
I havent done any development on the game for a while. But i made some progress on coming up with concepts of some kind of story.
I also just started to read some ancient chinese literature to practice my classical chinese, so i may not post many updates for a while.
Anyways here's a random doodle I did on a whiteboard:
Concept art or something idk what to post at this point most of the development has just been optimizing code.
Lore for the game
concept art for player character:
of the 62 other hairstyles that i have come up with, this one is my favorite.
when designing the main villain character i made a quick little theme for them:
Current development in a nutshell:
This game is going to take forever to make...
I made some concept art for the player character:

Introducing the merchant:
he was ripped from the previous game i made, had his sprite mutilated to add more detail, and was forced to be used for testing. (idk why the colors look like that)
