• Creator, lead developer, and writer for the cinematic visual novel Straight!?

Hi, I'm Aaryn and I'm a self-taught, indie 18+ game developer that began my creative journey back in 2017. I have no previous writing or game development experience and I've been learning in real-time on my first visual novel project entitled Straight!?

I believe that many companies in the video game industry have been increasingly profit-driven and I seek to build my project structure solely around donations; allowing anyone, regardless of financial status, to still have access to stories. As a result, the support and feedback on Straight!? has been extremely generous and I was able to make this a full-time job in 2022.

My goals are to  tackle stories that elevate adult themes and explore mature conversations and content using complex characters that shatter stereotypes.
