Point + Click AdventureFeb 2023-???

Defectors have ravaged the planet Gaia and abandoned it in search of a new hospitable environment. This forces all of the wild life left behind to adapt and evolve in order to combat the polluted world.As they grew to adapt there was a distinct divide between the three factions (water, land, and sky) as each had their own ways to sustain life. This resulted in each faction living separately from one another as their ideologies conflicted.Do you have the courage to unite the factions and save the planet from ecological collapse?

PERMANENT PURGATORY

Hack n' Slash 2D PlatformerJan 2023-On hold

The mortal realm has been terminated leaving all to turn to the only place left, Purgatory. A distorted plane of existence comprised of flesh, metal, and various bodily substances.Although home to all forms of "life", death is still a possibility as you're constantly under surveillance as your every action is judged. Your actions will dictate where you will go when you die, again, as dictated by the Overlords.A cycle of life and death, perfectly balanced... until the birth of Entropy.Born from the festering malice towards the Overlords, Entropy serves as the being of chaos incarnate. Unleashing cults, gangs, and other bands of rebellion to fight for the freedom against the cycle.

Heeeyllo! My name's Talis Boltz and I'm a chaotic trans entity (he/they) interested in fabricating funky fellows to put into warped realms by any means necessary.I find myself clinging to any and every medium/skill I can get my grungy little fingers on. I personally get a kick out of mutilating spheres of clay, forcing beings into existence, and making creatures do silly little dances for me. The process behind any of these are made a thousandfold better to me when executed with other brilliantly twisted minds.My passion for the arts can be traced back to the very first moments of experiencing video games as I emerged from the womb. Series like Spyro, Sonic, and Psychonauts have heavily influenced my style, humor, and unbridled desire for contributing in the video game and animation industries.
