Solo game dev, artist, and writer. Cursed with many hats and not enough time. Currently developing "By Your Love" (https://straybats.itch.io/by-your-love-demo).

Downloads of Ren'Py 8.4.1 can be found at:

Almost 6 months ago I released the demo for By Your Love, a visual novel I made for the Sealed With a Kiss Jam in January.

I'm still making steady progress on updating the demo, which I hope to update with some major gameplay changes this month.
