A slightly odd woman with ASD dwelling in the UK who has a passion for creating visual novels + a mission to keep adding more colourful (yandere) characters to our crazy world!
Reality has always paled in comparison to fantasy. I write to escape.
Having struggled with anxiety + depression for as long as I can remember (and being unemployed as a result), I make games as a way to occupy my mind.
According to statistics, only around 22% of autistic adults in the UK are in any form of employment.
Traditional employment is essentially inaccessible for people like me >.< but if I'm not productive/doing something that's meaningful to me, my depression gets even worse, soooo sometimes I get a little too obsessed, but it helps me cope with life xD
It would be a dream come true if I could somehow earn a living from making visual novels, but I don't really see how that dream could ever become reality when the cards are still stacked against folks with ASD even for stuff like this :(
I also enjoy attempting to make original soundtracks for my projects (and just trying to make music in general really x3) You can check out some of my music on YouTube.
My (rather rough) 2024 Schedule
My current main focus for January is working towards finishing my Winter VN Jam project - Sapphire Snowe(completed 30th January \^-^/)
Now resting/busy until 5th February.
[current mood]
If you want to keep an eye on general development across the board, I will be trying my best to make monthly public posts (as well as supporter ones) on my Ko-fi page :3
(DD, blue Blythe's route in Bitter/Sweet, and BxG SR are still in development, but largely on hold while I focus on finishing Sapphire Snowe & CiQ)

Please understand that it may take me a while to get back to you, as I become easily overwhelmed and can struggle to stay on top of social interactions >.<

Stay safe & don't sleepwalk through life ^_^/
