I started making games in 2005. They started off as fun storytelling devices for me, and became so much more. I enjoy using Twine, Ren'Py and PICO-8.
My current project is Terranova.
I do game development streaming on Twitch every week. Check out my Twitch for more info.
Terranova is a nostalgic interactive fiction game set in the early 2000's following four fangirls and their roleplay community on LimeJournal.
Features...
- A nostalgic interface from a time before Twitter
- A full ten hours of story—romance! Drama! Plot Twists!
- A LimeJournal for you to blog about your life
- Fully functional IM to chat your friends...
- and Solitaire to waste time while you chat your friends
- Your choices matter; three unique endings based on your choices
- Roleplay. Lots and lots of roleplay.
