I've been trying to be more active in the project discord I created quite a few years ago. I'm getting back to working on Sagebrush this year (crossing my fingers I can finally get the game done) and also will update my Four Corners related projects in here. Feel free to join!

I'm trying to get back to posting on here! Earlier this year I also made an itchio blog post that went into more detail about getting back to finishing Sagebrush. Here's some recent progress of background colors and new sprites. There's also only 20 CGs left to color.✨ #vndev #blgame #indiedev

An anecdotal guideline on how I like to post art on Bluesky! This is what works for me, it might not be 100% solid so use it with a grain of salt 🙏

Sometimes it's really like: Damn, Sagebrush really is almost 8 years in the making...not even for any like super artistic/detail reason or anything, but just because life kicked me in the ass 💀

I swear, sometimes the most difficult part of creating things is actually getting them done. But man, 2025 has got the be the year of me finally making the MOST progress with the things I've started. For those of you who still keep up with me...thanks so much, from the bottom of my heart. 💖

Gamedev stuff has been put on a backburner lately with the amount of things I've been juggling (plus my dayjobs) BUT, I managed to do some fixing with the maps in Sagebrush. Not all the way done, but it's definitely getting crossed off the list now. #vndev #visualnovels #indiegamedev #blgame

I'm currently redoing the sprites for a very old yuri game I never released (around 2015), then hopefully editing it a bit and releasing it sometime this year. It was set in the 90s at a catholic high school. For starters, here is the main character, Kim Sameoun. #vndev #indiegamedev #visualnovels

🎮 Played an indie game on steam and enjoyed it?

Make sure to leave a review to let the devs know and help support them.

🙏 Thanks to the players that have left lovely reviews on my short yaoi game, Wrong Number, so far.

In an effort to be like, "oH SHIT you guys, I was getting this game done I swear!!" well, it's better late than never. I recently finished flat colors for all of Sagebrush's CGs. Editing is the next step, and fixing a bunch of things. But man, its been a long time, I apologize.😢#vndev #visualnovels
