Thrilled to announce I’m finally publishing my first ever #webcomic today! “Why do I have to Save the World?” is an edgy sci-fi drama about Seren, a disillusioned young adult trying to escape a toxic job. I’d love it if you took a look! #tapas #webtoon #scificomics #grayscale linktr.ee/wdoihtstw

collage of black and white comic panels, with overlaid text saying “released my first webcomic!” Panels include characters and space backgrounds.

also recently I wanted to make some pixel art for the Pixonomicon #GameJam and made a little game around it. It's abstract, moody, and brief. Playable in browser: xytheria.itch.io/unfinished #ScreenshotSaturday #indiedev #gamedev #pixelart #RPGMaker

did a quick little #fanart sketch for #FracturedBlooms ❤️ A #horror time loop game with Doki Doki x Silent Hill vibes, curious how it will play out

Two identical girls with red hair hold hands facing each other, one is happy and smug while the other is sad but determined. The smug one is in a cracked mirror foreground. Fanart for Fractured Blooms

hi friends! GDC was amazing, here's an update on #gamedev things I'll be focusing on for wackyquarium this month: - paper prototyping to redesign the game a little - I want to make a quirky stylized UI very badly - collab with system designers and audio people once I've finished the redesign!

Excited to be attending #GDC2026 with the wonderful folks at Different Games Collective, will definitely make the most of connecting with people and showing my prototype! here's a bit of what I've been up to lately #gamedev #indiedev #3Dmodel #cherryshrimp #blender

xytheria.dev (raiya) @xytheria.bsky.social · 27/02/2026

hmm, after watching the #StardewValley retrospective...are you really making a game if you haven't thrown out half the game in the middle of the project and redesigned it bc it wasn't fun? anyone running a #gamedev program should try to add that in the curriculum, its pretty important imo

it's #ScreenshotSaturday! currently I'm working on a prototype for an aquarium-themed city builder game. please excuse the ugliness, visual update coming soon yesterday I added a slider to show building efficiency. up next - add quests that trigger every few turns, and then updating visuals / UX

Meet the Xytheria Project mascot! It's a faerie dragon, made of gummy candy. One of my secret projects might involve them as a main character... I'm still thinking of a name, any suggestions? All kinds of names welcome. [ #oc #ocsky #art ]

A round, chubby dragon with little horns and spikes.
