Guess it's time for a proper introduction here!

I'm the co-creator, programmer and writer of Zid and Zniw Chronicles games. Me and my girlfriend released Zniw Adventure in 2020, now working on Zid Journey!

In other words - if you're looking for cartoon dinosaurs content, we can definitely deliver.

Here's a T. Rex bored to death trying to bite their own tail. My partner asked me to animate it in stop motion, after she watched a video about the very important topic of "could T. Rex chew its own tail like a dog". The puppet is still a work in progress 🦖

Plesiosaurs 👌
There are 3 variants of this popup window in the game. Two of them will likely be dependent on the player's choice, hehe

RIP Drew Struzan - a man whose talent and imagination etched onto so many minds throughout the last 40+ years.

His art & posters are some of the first visuals I think of when I think about cinema - an invitation to watch these stories and worlds.

A massive loss 💔

A digitally colored limited color illustration of a cute green snake sitting in a ceramic bowl of noodles while slurping up some. She's holding a pair of chopsticks with her tail, and there are marbled egg halves, green spring onion rings and seasoning as decorations, all againts a white background.

A traditional mixed media illustration of a young athletic East-Asian woman with a long black ponytail. She's floating against a stylized painted space backdrop with a few planets, and she's wearing an oversized jacket and oversized boots inspired by astronaut costumes. She's also wearing a backpack and holding a sub sandwich.

A large colored pencil illustration of a female yellow waterlily fairy and a male common hawker fairy dancing over a pond of water. There are yellow waterlilies and hanging fluttering willow leaves around them.

One of my clients effectively reminded me of this oldie but goodie I did: a cover of #music from Croc by @argonautgames.com. This was arranged long before the remaster came out, but even so.
