Just messing around in Godot for a new project. Maybe it'll get somewhere. Who knows.
This is nothing crazy. I just wanted to put smth out, considering it has been ages since I've posted a devlog here.

P.s: I forgot to show the dash in the video

A digital art taking place in a living room with two people sitting on two red sofas, holding mugs.
The one on the left is Cathy, my game character wearing a purple and cyan sweater, looking at her friend, Camille.
Camille is sitting on the right, eating a cookie. A small decorative Christmas tree and a plate of cookies sit on a round table in front of the sofas.

I was out of ideas for a while, but here's smth I drew yesterday!
Cathy and her friend, Camille, spending the holidays together.

A digital drawing of a frightened woman kneeling on the floor of a dimly lit room.She has long dark hair, a yellow shirt, and a gold skirt. Sheโ€™s shielding her face with one of her arms. Dark feathers are scattered around her on the floor. On the right side of the image a text reads: โ€œNow Cathy, tell anyone about this and youโ€™re nextโ€ฆโ€

"A forced accomplice"

Drawing anything about Cathy and the Crow has a depressing undertone for me for obvious reasons.
Either way... here's what I think a scene related to one of the murders Cathy was forced to help with would look like.

A digital drawing showing a woman drawn in a white silhouette, her knotted hands under her chin.
Her hair is afloat behind her, a black brush at the end of it.
The drawing is on a gray background

"The New You"

I wanted to try a different style. Tell me how I did and where I could've done a better job!

I've decided to share artworks about my games here as well.

What HAPPENED after Cathy and the Crow? An Animatic
YouTube video by Ariigames What HAPPENED after Cathy and the Crow? An Animatic

Have you wondered about what happens after Cathy and the Crow?
I have, too. Which is why I decided to make a little animatic which shows what would happen after the neutral ending of the game. Give it a watch if you're interested.

A vector based art of a desk. A keyboard is poking from above. In the middle, a phone is showing my game beside a mug. Above the phone, the words "Cathy and the Crow Now for android" are read. 
There are paperclips beside the mug and a charget beneath them.

Are you too lazy to boot up your pc to play my game?

Well, don't worry. I'm working on a simple android port for my game.

You can see the work in progress in the screenshots.
It'll be done soon

A small handmade plushie of a game character. It's that of a woman, having black hair in a ponytail and gray eyes, smiling. She's wearing a purple shirt and blue pants, along with white and purple sneakers. In this image she's holding a small and fake plant pot while sitting in a yellow background.

Cathy and the Crow merch out now!
Nah, I'm just kidding. It had been a whole year since I'd made a plushie, so I decided to make Cathy.
I'm generally bad at making human plushies, but I did way better here.

Exactly. This war didn't start 2 years ago.
I remember hearing about it first when I was in elementary school, and now I'm an adult.
Israel will terrorize Palestine no matter what...
I just hope to soon wake up to a world where Israel is no more...

After a little break and organizing some things, I'm ready to brainstorm about a new game I have in mind!
This project will require me to learn and try some new things!
I'm excited to see how it will turn out. I probably won't show anything until I've made good progress.

โšก Now, hereโ€™s the IMPOSSIBLE challenge: can we reach 100% in the next 12 hours?
๐Ÿ’ฅ Do you accept the challenge?

Update 1.5 for the free brochure with Lovecraftian inspirations taken from the real life mythologies, folklore, history, science. You can use these concepts in Your own book/game/movie and don't have to reward or mention me in any way.

A digital banner. On the left, half of Cathy's head js poking up. A crow is standing on her head.
They're both looking to the right where the logo of the game is. 
Below the logo the words "out now!" Can be read.
The background is a blue sky with a blurry tilemap of a level visible.

Hello everyone!
I'm very happy to announce that after about 7 months, Cathy and the Crow is released!

Any review would be appreciated, positive, or negative.

Concept sketches for a sliding rock and fluff, which will return soon!

These are meant as an alternative to meteors in the first world, allowing to attack enemies with them.
