Making art for my future projects have taken me over! X0

So to be able to show stuff, here's the demo of the game I've been slowly finishing up? I've been able to work on it between the art frenzy and work, but it HAS been slow going.

It's been so awesome seeing submissions for Raise Your Voice Jam roll in! Devs are breathing new life into their previous jam games by adding VO. It's the first jam I've helped run, and it went surprisingly smooth

Parody of the Dark Souls "Victory Achieved" screen. The glowing text "Good Ending Written" is front and center. The game director and writer of an indie visual novel shares a month of writing on a glowing spreadsheet, for a cumulative seven chapters, totaling a whopping 51,583 words. Four of those chapters are polished. To emphasize how much polish adds to the time and quality of the game, and for the glowing dev's amusement, many terrible memes and sketches are in the background. Clockwise, from the top left: 0/0 days without bullying Richard, the player-controlled MC. Dexter, a nerdy young boy, saying "I will not fail you," but the dev has photoshopped several creative inspirations over Albert Einstein. A terrible chibi of the scarred and fluffy MC as a catboy, looking smug. Concept art of Richard, staring intensely at the mirror/viewer, with a looping series of arrows around him. They point to text with words in quotations for comedic emphasis at the absurdity of the phrase "suffering builds character." A sketch of the player's service dog, Ray, a large English Mastiff and the straight man of the game. He's wearing rectangular glasses while reading a newspaper.

Slipstream Daydreams' logo has a tighter look! I was bothered by the previous version looking a little plain when juxtaposed with the super bright and gummy game art, so now it's got some extra detail and polish 🐬 #vndev #indiedev
four logos for Slipstream Daydreams, the top one an older version, the bottom three more developed and including more colours. it has a y2k inspired style and features a cloud behind the text, and star and heart motifs

The Steam page for our psychological horror and detective mystery visual novel is about to drop in just a few days, and our mailing list just hit 484 (!!!) people awaiting official news. 🚨

You don't think we could hit 500 before our page goes live, do you?

...Do you?

Work on the Winter Visual Novel Jam 2025 resumes!

Not all, but the majority of the art assets are done. I wouldn't consider myself an artist really, but I think this I was able to convey the intended ideas here. We'll be recording the voice over soon! ❤️
