Diorama Break is my current personal project, I've had the idea since 2018. It's a tactical JRPG-style game that aims to provide a unique and compelling combat system and narrative.

As of late 2023, this had been an entirely solo project, but I began working with other artists then, and the project eventually entered into full development for a vertical slice demo in December 2024.

The game will be developed using my own engine created using the ODIN language and libraries/tools like SDL and FMOD. You can follow the development of that engine on my substack.

The game's combat system draws heavily from an early prototype I created from 2020-2021, though Diorama Break is far more fleshed out. I created a short series of video devlogs documenting the process of creating that, which can be found on my youtube channel.
