  I have always been bad at naming things. The working title for this game was just, "Cynthia VN." I went into this with almost no idea where the story was going to go or what any major themes would be,... Continue reading

  I soured on fully-AI-generated art pretty quickly, but being able to upscale tiny-ass art is a life saver. This was my journey. I was looking for art for a Psychic-type trainer, and the one I had in m... Continue reading

  I can't draw, which is why I write instead. I also don't really have the budget to hire an actual artist for this project. So what to do? Well there's some pretty interesting options out there for AI-... Continue reading
