Early exploration of a clearly trustworthy character in our unannounced game. Got any name ideas?

What I've been up to for the last couple of months...
Keep an eye out for more soon 😈

Starting a video game studio is a crazy thing to do in 2025 but hey, here goes.

Please tag me!! I love seeing fanart, there's never enough out there, especially for horror books!

The eyes are what's doing it for me on this design, they pop so good against the dark skin!

I'm GM a game of the Magnus Archives TTRPG and here's my group of doomed PCs

I think i feel the same! The contrasting red eyes look the best kind of edgy to me, but there is a little something something about the face mark... thanks for the feedback!! 😊

The best part of the odyssey is when he said IT'S ODYSSEUS TIME and odysseyd all over those guys #odyssey

MAU @mauillustrations.bsky.social · Feb 17

I'm the only artist on the project and have never worked on a "full" game before hand. I have done 24h game jams here and there, and most of them were 2D not 3D, but never had the chance to experience the full pipeline like now. Not it's definitely not perfect, but I'm still proud of the progress!

MAU @mauillustrations.bsky.social · Feb 17

Thank you!! We're making a 3d puzzle game, for now we're focusing on having this one level done, have a portfolio piece for everybody to show. But the original idea was a bigger puzzle/exploration game inspired by Outer Wilds but set in a magical library

I have to believe our worst moments don't make us monsters

i have talked on this many times, but i would like to use this moment to say again, ESPECIALLY NOW, taking a moment to directly support queer, neurodivergent, counterculture, or outsider art is so important and POWERFUL. WE CAN BEND TIMELINES TOWARDS LOVE but it takes trotting together.

MAU @mauillustrations.bsky.social · Jan 24

Thank you!!! So glad you like it! Maybe some Mrs. Why and Black Lamb coming soon... 🤫
