New introduction post I guess! 🦋

Hi! I'm a tech artist doing some hobby dev in my spare time. I like to work on lo-fi graphics, proc gen, and horror-adjacent stuff.

Here's a selection of cool projects I've done in the last few years. You can play some of them at lunar-finch.itch.io!

¡Estaré por el @bcngamefest.bsky.social sábado y domingo! Me haría mucha ilusión cruzarme con algún mutual por allí.

Node-based dialogue editors were an error. A node interface is good for planning branching dialogue, prototyping and such. You can use Twine for that, keep it as a reference, whatever.
But the actual words that go into your game should be written as God intended: on a plaintext file.

Love how it looks! I'm eager to see how you adapt the Citizen Sleeper formula to such a cool setting.

I'm glad I put in the effort to make a modular clothing system. It's always amazing to see how much you can get out of a few building blocks! 😤

I love Overland! The visuals are striking. Replayed it this summer on my Deck. It's the perfect game for a roadtrip.

Went to the hairdresser's in real life and somehow came back home with the solution. Turns out my importer plugin was assigning the wrong layer to the meshes.

Now I can work on actual hairstyles! No more debug cubes for these guys.

OK time to find out why all my characters are bald exclusively in exported builds

OMIOS URES IS OUT!

My classless, level-less RPG set in a weird fantasy world is available as Early Access, pay-what-you-like!

Get it HERE: matheusgraef.itch.io/omios-ures

Full overview of the system + extra images in the replies! Shares & reposts are super appreciated!

A black robed wizard, embroided with stars, stands on top of a stone peak. Behind him, the vastness of the world. The early morning creeps amidst the ravines, painting the world in coy lilacs and deep purples. A city of horned spires jolts from the stony wastes, illuminated in bright cosmopolitan oranges. An alien zeppelin flares out its floodlights at the rooftops and beyond.

The wizard stares at the viewer, though we do not see within his cloak and hood. Blackness. From the void creeps out two marble-white hands, old as time, covered in rings, gesturing in unknown signs.

Looks beautiful! I love the lineages, especially the metal dwarves!

LunarFinch @lunarfinch.bsky.social · 23d

Congrats!!
Did you feel that making a demo took a lot of resources from making the actual game?
