This blog, which initially began as a random digital universe of diverse subjects, has evolved into a dev blog for my current and future video game projects.

Adventures of Backwards Island, a Captain Seaward Story

Release Date: end of 2026 (hopefully 🤞)

This game is designed to serve as my own proof of concept for my second game (see below).

This is a 2D side-scroller, chibi-style game that will keep you guessing at every turn. Follow Captain Seaward on her adventure across Backwards Island to learn about its secrets and discover what it means to look for treasure.

Kimberly Seaward was born into a family of sailors and grew up on the sea. She developed a love for adventure at a young age and, as soon as she was old enough, set out to explore the world on her own. She is now searching for a hidden treasure that is sure to rival the loot of her pirate buddies, but to obtain it, she must have her wits about her and be prepared for whatever confusion the island may have in store.

Whirly, the cat, is an expert navigator and is responsible for creating detailed maps for all of their adventures. He carries them in a knapsack on his back, and each map contains crucial information that has helped Kimberly and Whirly successfully navigate through treacherous waters and treacherous terrain. Thanks to Whirly's exceptional map-making skills, they have been able to avoid dangerous obstacles and find hidden treasures on their journeys.

Kimberly and Whirly have a strong bond and are loyal to each other. They have been through many adventures together, and even in the face of danger, they always have each other's backs. As they continue their search for the backwards island, they will undoubtedly face many challenges, but they will face them together as a team.

Twisted Realms (title still in flux)

Release Date: TBD

This will be a 2D isometric game where the player embarks on an adventure through various realms inspired by classic fairy tales and folklore. Rosie, the main character, will get sucked down the rabbit hole and find her way to a mysterious library where she will learn the importance of all her beloved fairy tales.

Here is an excerpt from the initial scene:

Getting ready at her desk, Merlin comes and sits in Rosie’s lap for pets that she can’t refuse lest risk getting bitten.
”Alright Merlin, you can have your scritches, but then I really have to go or I am going to be late to my graduation”.
10 minutes later, Merlin is happily cinnamon-rolled on the bed purring when the most unexpected thing happens: a white rabbit appears out of Rosie’s closet.
”Oh dear, oh dear, we shall be late!” The White Rabbit yelled upon appearing in front of Rosie.
While the wording was different than what Rosie remembered, she was quite sure that this was the rabbit from Alice in Wonderland, and despite her confusion and many questions, went ahead and asked the rabbit, “What do you mean by ‘we’ shall be late”?
The White Rabbit responds with nothing but “no time to discuss, you must follow me!
