Happy men’s mental health month! While I’m no man, I wish that all men that I know remember to be easy on themselves, and to talk to your homies and check on them often if you can. Please take care of yourselves and remember that you aren’t defined by what you can do, but the sum of who you are.

Edgar failed trials. Issues: 1- too much yellow 2- lack of consistent coloring patterns. 3- inability to replicate colors accurately for future pieces. 4- silhouette? Conclusion: reduce usage of colors, lessen the yellow, design the mosaic lines with an accurate model (more back breaking shit lol

Working on poses for the key art for our Steam debut this year!!!! 📐super low angle 💥complex group action shot 🙏thank god for posemyart and great artists for pose advice @maricore.bsky.social 💖 gonna be straight fire when it's all finished 🔥🔥🔥🔥 #art #illustration #wip #indiegamedev #vndev #horror

WIP shot from a bird's eye view from posemy.art, a 3D modeling and posing software. A gigantic square space is occupied by numerous pews, sculpted with simple shapes for pose reference. Long flat planes are used as rulers for alignment. At the very tip of the line of pews are five male figures posed dynamically for an action scene.

Zoomed in screenshot of a WIP sketch, testing out poses for the key art for the dark fantasy and horror visual novel Catalyst: Blind Faith. Four figures are slightly visible, blocked out with dark shapes and outlined in garish monochrome for ease of visibility. One central figure is crouching with a shield and mace, while three more figures attack him by punching, using a knife, or summoning plant life. 3D models of a church's basic elements can be seen in the background for positioning these basic elements.

1.7k followers?! Thank you all so much! It's prob good to share a bit about what we're doing here! 🫶 I'm Alaric, the game director for Just Write Studios, sharing progress while we make a massively branching, dark fantasy and #horror visual novel, Catalyst: Blind Faith! ✍️🔥🔥🔥 #vndev #indiegamedev

Flowchart showing a very simplified version of the choice structure for the branching, dark fantasy and horror visual novel, Catalyst: Blind Faith. Gold logos and social links are backed by a deep blue background with a tree motif. The flowchart itself clarifies the common route's structure as follows:

"The common route in Catalyst: Blind Faith contains hundreds of choices, through which you shape the fate of a troubled young priest. The consequences of your decisions will follow you through the rest of the game—for better or for worse.

At the end of the common route, you are presented with a detailed choice menu, regarding allies you have made and the Gods that you worship. Each choice represents a pressing relationship in your life that you can deepen further, and one of the ten paths this game will take."

Below this, ten arrows lead into ten different "hard branches" of the game. Their length, structure, endings, and complexity varies wildly. Many of the hard branches can connect to the most complex hard branch, at the center of the screen. Virtually all of them contain at least two endings, barring a section for "Time," which is off to the side and simply says, "Can't show this coherently in a flowchart, trust" with three endings below it.

A week animation, the task was to animate something related to a week day and since it snowed all of Saturday and my friends hurled snowballs at my dorm room window, I dedicated that to them. #uniwork #animatedgif #animated #animation #snow

It's that time again! I loved the bingo design from @almakrowan.bsky.social so much from 2024 that I tweaked it slightly for 2025! Very excited for all the stuff to come! I'll be releasing a roadmap in January with more details on my goals for #gamedev then!❤️ #vndev #indiegame #indiegamedev

Bingo card for the game director of the dark fantasy and horror visual novel Catalyst: Blind Faith. A dark gray background backs numerous goals for art, programming, writing, a Steam debut, and a 6th year anniversary stream. Finalizing the design for each deity in the game's pantheon is backed with a monochromatic, surreal image evocative of those deities.

It's silkie time!

Digital illustration of the silkie mount from Final Fantasy XIV. A giant white hamster with a big pink puffball on the end of its long tail floats happily in the centre, while two smaller sponge silkies float at the top and bottom. Soap bubbles and sparkles surround them on a background of pink with an array of desert Thanalan flowers sprouting in the centre.

🎉Happy New Year!🎉 I'm extremely proud of what we've done for our massively branching dark fantasy and #horror VN!! 2024's recap has 23 images and 2.2k words, so it's offsite! You can find it below, I hope you enjoy!🥳 just-write-studios.itch.io/catalyst-bli... #gamedev #indiegamedev #vndev #devlog

A collage of fanart for the dark fantasy and horror visual novel Catalyst: Blind Faith, from its Discord Community. Spider-like monsters, skeletons dressed as Santa Claus, an elderly elf with comically long ears, red-heads flexing while bearing giant axes, many drawings of a troubled and scarred young man, a cute and bubbly rogue, and multiple memes cover the gigantic canvas.

Unhinged flowchart from the game's director for the dark fantasy and horror visual novel Catalyst: Blind Faith. It shows a simplified version of the branching game's narrative structure across 10 wildly different routes, based on the player's transparent decisions. Numerous checkmarks and percentages are on the picture, indicating script writing progress made in 2024.
