Trying to strike that perfect balance of sounding just a little bit airheaded online so people donβt square up at me over lukewarm takes or trivia, but not *so* dense as to compel people to spontaneously explain things to me.
Getting to design characters for a murder mystery visual novel set in the Myst/D'ni universe was such a blast, I hope this also sees the light of day someday:
The other (much smaller) game @shoomlah.bsky.social and I worked on near the end of our time at Cyan is shown here (@ 28:07). "WhoD'nit?", a Myst visual novel / Phoenix Wright style murder mystery (and yes you would obviously be able to flirt with all the suspects!) I still really want to make this.
I can finally share this cover I illustrated for Alexis Henderson's new novel, "The Godfrey Home for Demonic Children". Design: @katiecovers.bsky.social
