The main characters of Mystic Cipher, Fay and Carl, facing each other. Fay has heterochromia and a short ponytail. She wears a suit vest and black gloves with white fingers. Carl is a kitsuneme character, who keeps his eyes closed a lot of the time. He has ginger hair and wears a brown coat over a green turtle-neck sweater.
Fay and Carl back to back. The logo of the game "Mystic Cipher" is at their feet.
A pixel art test of Fay's detective office.
Fay and Carl walking in pixel art style.
Apart from Killer Trait, I've been working on another project called Mystic Cipher. Here, Carl is the deuteragonist!
It's still very, very early in it's stages but the 2D and pixel sprites for the 2 main characters, Fay & Carl, are done as well as the tilesets for Fay's office.

A working logo for the dark fantasy and horror visual novel "Catalyst: Blind Faith." Grayscale art on the top row shows three main characters. From left to right: A female elf with a sly expression, asymmetric hair, many piercings, and long ears side-eyeing the player; a disheveled and heavily scarred young man, clutching at his head while he stares directly at the viewer; and a bubbly woman in profile view with an unnaturally broad grin and very poofy hair. The bottom row has five sketches of different male body types, all at the same height. These are illustrative of the protagonist, whose appearance can radically change based on the player's choices. From left to right: An emaciated figure in a fighting stance, fists before his face; a slender and broad-shouldered figure in a front-facing and stiff pose; a muscular figure, looking relaxed and confident as he glances over his shoulder; a husky male figure, partially drawn, as some of the right arm is incomplete; and a very heavyset male figure, standing in a similar distant and neutral pose as the slim figure.
A flowchart for the demo of a heavily branching visual novel, Catalyst: Blind Faith. Scenes, choices menus, and deaths or early endings are distinguished with different sized boxes. It shows a massive amount of divergence within each of the demo's chapters. Additionally, at certain points in the chronology of the flowchart, chapter numbers have numerous titles associated with each. This indicates where the player's choices causes a divergence significant enough to get an alternate version of each chapter. Links are at the bottom for the early development demo's itch.io page ( https://just-write-studios.itch.io/catalyst-blind-faith ) and a community Discord for regular updates ( https://discord.gg/24cmNWp )
Party member preview for the dark fantasy and horror VN Catalyst: Blind Faith. From left to right: A silhouette of Ray, a gigantic English Mastiff wearing a spiked collar. A sketch of Father Richard Anscham, a young, scruffy, and lanky priest wearing a bizarre combination of very modern textiles and bronze age metals. He carries a bloodied iron mace and beat-up shield, with many gold fasteners on his gothic attire. His mop of very curly hair fails to cover the excessive scarring on every inch of his exposed skin. Despite looking so grumpy, a small heart is sketched beside his face. (You) play as him. Orgoth, an elderly and muscular albino orc with bat-like features. One of his large, pointed ears is missing a giant piece. He's covered in dried blood, and his exposed upper body has numerous blackout tattoos with motifs of nature and battle. Numerous trophies of large teeth and a pauldron fashioned out of a demon's skull covers one shoulder. His pointed teeth are bared as he smiles broadly. A tiny sketch of a battle-axe dripping with blood is beside his face. Also in silhouette are three more party members to the right: Celegwen, an elvish sorceress, with extremely long and pointed ears. She's wearing an incredibly tattered, light colored dress, sandals, and has many piercings. Her choppily cut, cloudy-white hair is dyed lavender at its tips. Three stars hover around her right hand. Ofelia Banks, a short and stocky walking armory. She's covered with thieves' tools, knives, scabbards for short swords, and wears an enchanted cloak. Her very fluffy, blonde hair covers most of Celegwen's staff as she stands in front of her. A little sketch of a skull and crossbones is beside her. Lord Yech, the Disgusted has on a floppy hat with massive red and white feathers, striped and slashed clothing evocative of a harlequin and Landsknecht, very long poulaines, and a completely impractical pointed cape. A sketch of a bottle of liquor and a tree are beside him.
Work in progress, grayscale, hand drawn art for the dark fantasy and horror visual novel Catalyst: Blind Faith. A loosely sketched woman with a dark cloak and fluffy hair lies on the ground, her face obscured by her hair as she looks at a a slender, heavily scarred young man. This priest of murder, the protagonist, is seen in third person perspective while his deity works through him. He's in an unnatural pose, leaning heavily to one side, which the dutch angle corrects so he appears to be kneeling perfectly upright. Motes of darkness and light drift around him. His hands are held in front of him, but loosely closed instead of in fists. He stares unblinking as light and darkness oozes from his eyes down his unemotional face.

I just released my code for interactable, randomized rooms in Ren'py!
Randomize props, furniture, and even lighting, and make the assets interactable with a simple point and click system. Using purely screen and scripting language, no external tools needed.

Quote from David Lynch, two panels, first looking downwards in contemplation, then directly at an interviewer off-screen. The quote reads, "If you have a dream, never let go of it. Just hold onto it and keep working toward it."
David Lynch would have turned 80 today. Celebrating his memory, drive to create with integrity, and ongoing inspiration to others very fondly now and for many years to come ๐๐โ

A general fund for Killer Trait & Mystic Cipher! KILLER TRAIT - 3 more backgrounds, which are all around $100 each; one of them might be a bit pricier since it's a bigger background ($350) MYSTIC CIPHER - Pixel sprites of Fay and Carl ($20) - Programming ($250) - 2D Sprites of 4 characters ($260) - Fay's Office Tileset (around $40; may change depending on complexity) - Hotel Tileset (to be added later) - Pixel Sprites of the other 4 characters (to be added later)
Alright, I made another general fund goal on my Ko-Fi for both Killer Trait and Mystic Cipher!
This will be updated as new things are needed (e.g CGs) & others are accounted for.
Atm, Killer Trait is focused on getting 3 more backgrounds, while Mystic Cipher needs pixel art, 2D sprites & coding.
One of my dream goals this year is to send physical gifts to friends who have put up with me the longest. I apologize you had to cross paths with sour old me for years ๐
