Wretcher

Point and click horror adventure

A tribute to the classic Clock Tower from the SNES era. This is probably my favorite pet project. I've learned a good deal of things since starting it in 2008. So far I've only spent two actual years into its development but now that I'm freelancing I can finally focus on it properly.

Story

A famed archaeologist commits a murder-suicide, or so the police say, leaving behind his mansion and all of its possessions in the hands of his niece Aileen. Together with her friend Keith, they seek to unravel the mystery behind his death and the disappearance of his wife whose body was never found. A darkness cast its shadow over the mansion with more than just secrets awaiting to be discovered.

The story takes place in the secluded town of Crowhaven where the mansion lies, but the action will take the protagonist, Keith, between this and the other world.

Rise of the Fallen

Metroidvania

A metroidvania prototype. I had some fun doing the pixel-art graphics, hopefully I'll pick it back up sooner or later.

The engine was coded in LUA by @CalinLeafshade.

RoleplayIT

Virtual tabletop

A prototype born from an idea of making a virtual tabletop to play D&D games with my friends.

The server runs on NodeJS and allows multiple clients to login and interact in real-time.

Noteworthy features are:

  • 2D/ISO viewport
  • Real-time tile map editing
  • Multiple maps
  • Die rolling requests
  • Chat
  • ... and more planned but not implemented stuff

A rewrite was needed to continue the project, unfortunately my D&D pals have gone extinct, so the motivation to keep going is pretty low.

The original plan was to implement basic features to make D&D sessions possible, and then perhaps turn it into an online RpgMaker MMO with the possibility of scripting on the fly.

Adventure Game Studio

AGS allows you to create your own point and click adventure games

I'm one of the developers and there's also a custom version I created for Wretcher where I sometimes test new features.

Meditation aids

Random stuff to help with meditation, the collection may grow in the future.

Meditation is helpful to deal against the aggravations of the modern life, so I can but suggest anyone to try.


Tibetan A

If you practice Zhinè meditation or Tibetan Dream Yoga, you may already be familiar with this picture.

Since the original source is unknown and it keeps propagating with ridiculous amounts of jpeg artifacts, I decided to redraw it with better quality.

Candle

Staring at candles is another popular version of visual meditations.

If you want to stare at a candle but you don't trust in the analog and don't want to burn down the house, now you can.
This is just an edited version of the codepen from @Shorina.
