"Nova's Ship" is an extremely serious game where nothing absurd happens. Ever. (...I'm joking.)

The bloopers are too powerful for Bluesky's video limit, so here's a 2-part version in two posts—or you can watch the entire thing in one go via www.youtube.com/watch?v=o5sU...!

I feel like, over time, actors are expected to carry themselves like influencers more and more. Man! I don't wanna be an influencer! I wanna be me!

Hey PSA to my YT people out there but Auto-Dubbing using AI is getting automatically enabled on your channel and opting out of it is buried deep in the depths of your channel.

Voice acting folks!

I'm casting four roles for my multiplayer cleaning indie game, S.K.R.U.B. Squad! Paid gig at $200 CDN per role, auditions close on the 18th.

Shares super appreciated! #SKRUBSquad

Audition and find details via CastingCallClub: www.castingcall.club/projects/sli...

You me and both! An educator had once advised that I use a headshot for promotional purposes, but I was thinking about it, and honestly, I value my privacy more than the benefit I'd gain from breaching it. But hey, maybe one day, when I have less gender dysphoria to worry about, haha.

More The Wishing Book concept art courtesy of @haikuhello.bsky.social!

Haiku's design for Tristan helped define his character loads, and we actually locked him in very fast. Love this guy!

You can play (and rate, mayhaps!) the game here! itch.io/jam/spooktob...

#vndev #indiedev #visualnovel

The first sketch of Tristan. He is a small kid with zig-zagging hair in a short ponytail. He wears overalls.

A full-body sketch of Tristan. He has been made older, and his ponytail is longer. In addition, his hair is smoother.

A sketch of Tristan. He learns to the side and holds The Wishing Book in his arms, looking to the camera.

The Wishing Book concept art incoming! All drawn by the incredible @haikuhello.bsky.social!

Here’s some of the Beatrice concepts! She was designed first, so we were feeling out the game’s aesthetic as well as her design with these.

#indiedev #vndev #visualnovel

Beatrice holding up a sword. She has shoulder-length, unkempt hair and no visible mouth. In her right hand, she holds a miniature hammer.

A sheet displaying various facial expressions of Beatrice’s. They are as follows…

- Smiling, eyes closed
- Shocked
- Enraged
- Crying

To the left of the frame, Beatrice is drawn from the shoulders up. She has big, unkempt hair and bangs. A thought bubble with a burger containing only lettuce is drawn above her head. The right of the frame, a bare bones sketch of Beatrice is drawn to lay out her proportions.

Oh yeah, I'm also playing this guy Nathan in the definitely-very-much-not-death-or-destruction-filled Nova's Ship! You should play the heck out of it for several fun surprises!

The surprises could be death or sea shanties. Or death. I am very trustworthy.
