BurdockThumb.png Stick closely to the path, my dear, don’t wander and don’t stray! The mists are full of secrets, the woods are full of fae; And many careless mortals they’ve spirited away— So do not go a-wandering, but on the path please stay! Game Now Live! When you've lost your way and nearly lo...

Re: Bright Oak [time travel] [science fiction] [slice of life and death] [friendship] [romance]

Re: Bright Oak [time travel] [science fiction] [slice of life and death] [friendship] [romance]

Whoops, I fell off on updating here last time! To lead with the biggest jump: superhero Wudgeous has finished base coding through the end of the second act(!), along with adding in sprite movement and effects. This is very promising news for meeting the May/June release goal for the demo, which will...

Re: Bright Oak [time travel] [science fiction] [slice of life and death] [friendship] [romance]

Happy New Year to you all! It’s been a hot minute since I last updated properly, so I’ll get right to it: Wudgeous (of Herotome fame) continues to be my personal superhero, and has swooped in to save the day by coding the individual sprite layers (no mean feat, as each character has multiple variati...

Re: Bright Oak [time travel] [science fiction] [slice of life and death] [friendship] [romance]

“Are you the new person drawn toward me?” (Walt Whitman)

Updated with the third full-color sprite, this time of sweet Sparrow! Remnantation​ worked wonders in bringing this colorful little 6′4″ bird to life, and I could not possibly be happier with how he’s turned out.

Re: Bright Oak [time travel] [science fiction] [slice of life and death] [friendship] [romance]

For the final spooky short, I returned to Victoriana shenanigans for the classic best befitting Dr. Jasper Lee: Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. JasperThumbnail.png All my gratitude to Remnantation for her lending her extraordinary art to this little self-assigned project, as well as her editing prowes...

Re: Bright Oak [time travel] [science fiction] [slice of life and death] [friendship] [romance]

Patti’s ghost story is a little different, as I used an urban legend scenario for the base, rather than a specific written work. So for fun, I framed this short as the episode transcript of a misfit ghost-hunting podcast. As ever, editing and art credit to the wonderful Remnantation! Notes: some mi...

Re: Bright Oak [time travel] [science fiction] [slice of life and death] [friendship] [romance]

Updated our second character with her full color sprite: Meet Dr. Marybeth Forster, Bright Oak’s resident physician, and our sheriff’s long-suffering sister! It is my absolute pleasure to show off Remnantation's’s beautiful coloring work-- oh, and yes, that’s a sabre she’s holding. ⚔️

Re: Bright Oak [time travel] [science fiction] [slice of life and death] [friendship] [romance]

Spooky short #3 is Sparrow! There really was no option for Sparrow’s story but to dive into the Victorian literature he adores, with a heavy dose of the Gothic for good measure: Dracula, alongside works by the Brontë sisters, served as my inspiration for this one. Thanks as ever to Remnantation for...

Next up! Here's Spooky Season Short #2, this time featuring Marybeth and loosely modelled on Richard Matheson's "I am Legend". Art once more by the marvelous Remnantation!
