Aika

Name: Aika

I'm an indie game dev interested in making visual novels.

My current projects are:

Lola's Suicide Stream/LSS (In Development)

Sweet Nightmare/SN (Temporarily Abandoned)

Hiraeth (In Development, Out Autumn 2026)

I started my game-dev-journey as I've always had an overactive imagination, and felt that VNs were the best form of media I could use to express myself and my stories.

I hope to release LSS soon -- preferably by the end of next year. It's still in its early stages of development, but I trust that I won't procrastinate for ridiculously long lengths of time.. Like I did with SN. The memories are a bit embarrassing now, but, oh well. Life goes on.

Listen, if I'm going to spend hours slaving away at those ref sheets, I might as well cut some corners with them, yes? T_T

Across all Steam+promo material, her face is meant to be a bit obscured, but aside from that, criticism would be very much appreciated!

Phew, now I can actually start posting updates on LSS.. I've already mapped out all three routes, planned the events in the first loop, finalised my characters (designs + personalities), and planned out the entire UI and more.... So, this shouldn't take more than a year, *maybe* two at most, right?

Next step is the banner. Bloom + raw colours versions attached below. I also completed planning out all three routes for LSS, so all that's left is planning out the first loop's events so I can work out what all the choices for the three routes will be... And then, writing time! Fun!
