Illune

Hello!  I'm Illune, an aspiring author (working on this, among other things) with a passion for game dev!  I also do funny videos and LPs!

Right now, I'm a newcomer to game dev, so I've been mostly working with Ren'Py and RPG Maker MZ, and I'm also interested in text-based engines like Twine.  Being a writer, I'm more concerned with story than with gameplay, and any stories I make usually wind up at least somewhat dark.

As for some stuff about me...

• I love animals, especially birds, so I have two budgies and a bunch of fish!
• I am a girl
• I'm a huge fan of magical girl media, such as Madoka Magica, Precure, Utena (if it counts), and even obscure works like Six Hearts Princess, Nurse Angel Ririka SOS, and Nowhere Stars
• I'm a sucker for MOTHER trilogy-inspired games
• If you see a Pokémon Mystery Dungeon-inspired game, TELL MEEEEEE
• I used to do competitive dance and play the viola, and recently, I've picked the viola up again
• When I read books, I generally prefer middle grade books, even though I, as an almost-nineteen-year-old, am part of the target audience for YA; this is because I think YA has too much unnecessary romance inserted into stories that don't even need it, especially if the main protagonist is female.  The romance takes up too much space, and the love interest is often either incredibly boring and bland or incredibly rude and unlikeable.  Besides, middle grade books can get away with a surprising amount of gore and nightmare fuel due to it being in prose and not pictures, and this is doubly true if the protagonists are, say, cats or dragons (cough cough Warrior Cats and Wings of Fire cough).  Some really great middle grade series are the Secret Series by Pseudonymous Bosch, the Thickety series by J.A. White, and the How to Train Your Dragon series by Cressida Cowell, among others.
• My favorite food is kettle-cooked sea salt and vinegar potato chips, though I'm also partial to pho, lamb chops, sour gummies, and cinnamon pretzels from the mall

I doubt many people will actually read this, but if you did, have a great day!
