Introduction:

Hello hello! You can call me Whilom. I’m an Indie Game Dev and writer, with my main content being heavily based around horror and or my current on going projects.

Due to the dark and mature nature of my projects, my content is not intended for anyone under the age of 18, and viewer discretion is advised.

I have a few different games, visual novels, and books currently in development along side my lovely partners (studio name pending), that I plan to post some update content on here. My anons are open, so if you have any questions about characters or my projects feel free to ask!

I plan to update this introduction later on in the future so please stay tuned!

I love the movies that make the viewer uncomfortable. To me that’s what horror should be. It doesn’t matter how it makes you uncomfortable, maybe it makes you anxious, nauseous, uneasy, doesn’t matter. But it should make you uncomfortable. I feel like too many big production companies fail in that aspect. They’re fearful of ratings and public relations. A lot of their budget goes into paying the most expensive actors rather than the actual production.

Now I haven’t seen Iron Lung or the Backrooms yet (though I intend to hopefully within the next week), but it’s fair to say all three of these films had something in common with their success. TLC. Money wasn’t thrown towards high name actors. A popular actor doesn’t make a good movie if there’s not a proper production. They give new actors a chance, and their money is dedicated towards the production. There’s good writing, good execution, good sfx. These are all important to horror, or any genre for that matter. It’s the same way I am with games. It’s why many of the horror games I enjoy most are indie.

Anywho, those who know me know that Avatar has been my all time favorite franchise since it came out. I’m a die hard, even if I don’t generally state it. This is far from the last Na’vi in my art fight check list, though I won’t guarantee that they’ll all be rendered like this, I’ll probably keep experimenting

Sorry everyone that I’ve been away for so long, if you’re coming from Twitter (X) or Bluesky, this post is meant to go more in detail for a few things.

I struggle with some chronic conditions that have hit me like a truck as of late. I’m slowly on the mends, so I’m hoping to hunker down and really work on my projects going forward. This should include more art: both fan art of the games I like as well as art from my projects, as well as more details on Dead on Arrival.

Speaking of Dead on Arrival I want to say this. Expect things to change. For those of you who play indie games frequently, I’m sure you’ve become familiar with the fact that things change frequently. What is true one moment may not be true the next, and that is the case with DoA, and will be the case until it’s full release.

As a matter of fact, DoA no longer features a sole killer, but rather two, which means my previous little script I wrote as a teaser for DoA is now obsolete. I’m currently working on fleshing out our two killers before anything else, and will post art of them as I go along.

I’m currently also working out other details with my significant others as to the over all road I intend to take and the milestones along the way. As of currently, we have multiple projects in the works other than just DoA, but I’m not at the point where I’m ready to announce anything else just yet. I would love to get a Patreon set up at some point, but I don’t believe I’m at that point yet either.

Lord I don’t even know. Way too many. I’ve been basically collecting games for years with the hope of live streaming them one day.
