I wanna play more dnd. I've never played a campaign proper, only ever one-shots.

Here's two of guys from some brief years-ago adventures: Ego "Boss Blue" Cannith, the Circle of Swarm druid (but his swarm is all tiny robots) and Leitmotif the warforged bard/barbarian blues musician.
Ego Cannith is an albino cowboy dressed all in blue clothes that resemble a matador's garb. His lips are bright blue to match his outfit, and he has a gold tooth. A pale and frizzy afro spills from beneath his wide-brimmed hat. Tiny robots are secreted on his person in various forms and hovering nearby. Leitmotif is a lanky, all-brass robot wearing a fedora. One of his arms is a lute/guitar, which he fingers the frets of with his other hand. His eyes glow yellow and sad from beneath the shadow of his hat and he smokes a cigarette. He has scuffs and scratches all over him, and some parts look like they're missing.

hrm, I can't seem to post a dang moving picture thing. Can I post a still image? Test test here's a thing from a while ago.

I'm bad at reposting art that I've posted before but I do still quite like this grumbul I drew in 2020 when my tablet's pen pressure was broken:
A grumbul from Catacomb Kids, rendered in black lines on a yellow background. One of his eyes is scarred and pupil-less. The ear on that same side has a claw mark scratched through it. He has a prosthetic arm and bears a scowl.

Hi! It's me, Tyriq! I make games and pixel and animate. Less of the latter recently, but plenty of the former yet to come! I also sometimes make noises with my mouth that people have told me are pleasant.

A screenshot of the first area of Catacomb Kids, the Upper Dungeon. Lava drips from pools in the ceiling above and danger is everywhere. Just a couple of dudes. One is crouched and has a golden-handled dagger and scimitar, and a hairdo that is bound in a long pillar. The other has a purple whip and his head is a sphere. They both have ball-like joints. A kid from Catacomb Kids, wounded; one eye bleeding, knee bandaged, and sword held out glinting in torchlight. He stands his ground against the viewer.

Saw a couple cool guys hanging out in a tree.
Two large ravens perched in the branches of a dead tree, backed by a vibrant blue cloud-spackled sky. The leftmost raven takes flight. The rightmost raven is already gone.

Heck yeah, UFO 50 sitting at Overwhelmingly Positive this morning! We made an overwhelming number of games so it's only fitting.
A screencap of the sidebar from UFO 50's steam store page, showing "95% of the 920 user reviews for this game are positive" above an "Overwhelmingly Positive" tag.

A favorite book from childhood?

Everyone talks about how bad the movie traumatized them but I didn't even know there was a movie til I was grown.

Recently picked up the book again and was immediately fully back into it. My copy is falling apart and I want to make it a project to rebind it soon.

Ah, she's gone now 💔 RIP Pixel, I'll miss you a lot.

Catacomb Kids: A platformer roguelike that tries to be as roguelike as possible. ~10 years of dev and the end is not near but I'm just enjoying the journey at this point and letting it be a place for my brain to play when it needs a break from thinking about money and this hell world.

oh yeah, since everyone's all into Dungeon Meshi now, I just remembered I made this Falin back in 2018.
A pixel version of Falin from Dungeon Meshi in her half-dragon form.

Finally tackling some of the heftier text externalization for CK's gradual localization efforts; shopkeeper dialog and item descriptions.

I also wrote some lorrrre for it.
Too much content for the alt text, but the first few paragraphs go like: "Long ago, the world was known. The Otter Princes and Rat Corsairs with their riverboats traversed every tributary and mapped them upon the veins of their eyes. The Mole Kings and Badger Lords dug their castles to the deepest bedrock, noted the angle of every stone along the way; and turned each to a purpose. The Serpent Sultans spiraled into the sea, and became one with the undulous waves, and greeted there the strange and alien waterkin who drown on the land. Above all, the Hawk Court soared and ruled from their cliffs and great trees. They demanded tribute from the creatures of the ground, in food, flesh, and treasures."

Getting ready to hexcrawl this weekend. Made a map to crawl all over.
A map of The Everwood, with a hex overlay. To the far west are a few settlements and lakes, but the majority of the map is blank unexplored forest, except for a mountain range - labeled Mt Molehill - in the north.
