No filters and hot off the drawing table! These are some work in progress sketches for an upcoming project...
Lydia's Labyrinth has received some wonderful feedback during the Spooktober Visual Novel Jam. We aimed to make a choose your own adventure story with a healthy dose of mystery and a cute and deadly host and thanks to some helpful comments and suggestions from amazing players, we're going to bring out a game book of the story 😁
It's going to be the first book in our "Choose Your Fate" series and we hope to bring many of our ideas and stories to the table under this project. The sketches above are for dividing sections of the story and feature props and elements from Lydia's game.
Thanks to everyone who has played our game! It's the most downloaded one we've ever made and it really means a lot to me and Robert.
If you want to see the original jam version of the game you can check it out here...
Thanks for stopping by and take care!
It's day 2 of the Spooktober VN jam! Here's a quick image drop to show off the look we're going for in Lydia's Labyrinth!
As always, royalty free photos from pixabay are doing the heavy lifting for backgrounds and graphic design. I add a lot of colouring and effects to make it look more vampy.
I've also started the coding in Renpy and Robert is working on the writing, maze design and sound effects. So it's all go and I hope we can get this dangerous labyrinth finished!
Hope your all having a great Spooktober and keep healthy during the jam!
Continuing the showcase of the 5th Annual Spooktober Visual Novel Jam, I'm delighted to show you Jackalope by SmallBunny.
This visual novel is something truly special. I highly recommend it.
From the eerie, slightly abstract visuals to the heart touching story which hit me far too close to home, this is exactly the kind of game that gets me excited for Spooktober!
It's frightening (but not terrifying), cute, sweet, sad and hopeful all in one delicate, beautiful package.
There are certain games I come back to on a regular bases. This is one of them now. I will play this game again. When the time is right.
From a technical point of view it was built in Ren'py and has some lovely features such as an inventory system and the choice based exploration of a building. Also I would recommend checking out the ??? button on the main menu. It made me smile.
It's partially voice acted and the performances are soft and sweet. Perfect!
All in all it's delightful. If you have an hour check it out and give these lovely people a rating for the jam! Voting ends on the 28th October.
Thanks for stopping by!

Hi and welcome everyone!
It's been a whirlwind this September but I'm delighted to annaounce that Travel Devil is live and a part of the jam!
It's a short VN about a botched demonic summoning turning into the adventure of a lifetime. Our host, Tornacense, finally escapes the administrative department of hell to pursue his dreams of becoming the hottest new content creator on Doomtube! But will all this exposure lead to unwanted attention from the upper echelons of demon society?
Travel Devil was made in collaboration with Robert from Valhallions. He was fantastic to collab with and got stuck in with all aspects of the game.
I worked on the coding, character design, image manipulation and GUI. I'm so glad we got it finished on time! It was a mad rush at the end and there were times we weren't sure we would make it. I'm still so tired but so happy!
Also, I can't wait to try the other entries in the jam. This is my favourite time of the year, it's going to be so much fun!

Look, i`ve never been too good at talking politics, but i do wish to make a statement that what happened today in the US elections was fucked. A whole lot of people are going to be fucked. If you are one of those stuck there....please...just do your best to stay alive...
Always happy to see a good grisly mystery! Just played "Disconnected" a fantastic visual novel by Teharra Rose.
You're a 911 dispatcher. You're taking to a woman who wakes up in an ice bath. She doesn't know how she got there. Can you save her life?
Anyone else love getting back to the basics? Been having a blast working up these paragraph dividers using a ballpoint pen and pencil!
What a wonderful night for a quick throwback! I'd like to introduce you to the game which started my Spooktober journey.
You play as Penelope, who's just about ready to give up on her dream of being a singer, until she finds an audition notice for the opportunity of a lifetime... An audition for a reality TV show on a private island which turns into a fight to survive and may see some dark truths come to light.
Truly Sublime was created for the Spooktober Visual Novel Jam two years ago and it's nice to look back on it. Back then, this was my second game that I had published so it's got a couple of rough edges but I want to leave it as it is until I get time to make a shiny, better version.
There was so much cut from the game to make it work in the jam's timeframe so it might be a fun one to return to one day and explore the untold stories, especially with the character Lucinda. She had her own story and endings planned too.
Thanks for checking out my nostalgia ramble and I hope you're having a lovely Autumn evening!
Cheers for stopping by and take care!
Visualnovelty streamed Travel Devil! Thank you so much for sharing this full game playthrough! I'm really glad you liked that CG lol!
