My Projects!

THANKS FOR THE RIDE

You took wrong turn, and ended up on a rural road in the middle of the night. A mysterious hitchhiker asks you for a ride home.

short 1000 word visual novel I worked on for the 02A2 game jam, with the help of my friend FreshRoyal. I illustrated the sprites, background, splash screen, and created all the UI assets used. I also wrote it! FreshRoyal helped proofread and edit the script, and did the brunt of the coding work.

You can download it on Itch.io!

NOXIOUS

Two college roommates find themselves in the wrong place at the wrong time and develop superpowers. You can probably guess what happens after.

An ongoing (eternal) work-in-progress story about superheroes I'm mostly just writing for fun! I love superhero media and wanted a setting to play around in just to throw all my favorite superhero (and non-superhero) tropes into! Heavily inspired by The Amazing Spider-Man 1 & 2, Spider-Man: Into the Spiderverse, RWBY, the 2012 run of Hawkeye by Matt Fraction & David Aja, 5th wave Emo music, the band R.E.M, and... Madoka Magica!

HEARTBEAT

Melody's band gets surprise mentored by her idol Aux, a global pop-punk superstar determined to propel them to stardom in the midst of her ongoing midlife crisis.

I developed a short pilot webtoon for them, which you can read here! I created these guys a few years ago for a class and have continued poking around with them. I'd like to continue their story one day when I'm not so busy!

GRAVEYARD SHIFT

A gas station in the middle of nowhere seems to be constantly inundated with supernatural creatures and urban legends, to the detriment of the night shift cashier, Enoch.

A personal fighting game concept art project I've been slowly chipping away at! I love Guilty Gear and Darkstalkers, this is effectively the child of both of those! The characters are all supposed to be based on an urban legend/cryptid + a musical artist or genre.
