//RVN3S CROSSWORD CLICK THE BUTTON BELOW FOR MORE INFO
//this game has been a passion project of mine since 2010. the idea started when i was still attending college and I've been slowly working on it, mostly without funding, in my spare time, ever since. it began by designing my own phonetic alphabet that connects to elemental creator beings within the game world. the player explores randomized dungeons filled with puzzles to learn about language, space, and psychology. player character stats are generated using astro chart information. maps and puzzles are randomly rearranged, so each playthrough is unique to the player's character. creatures within the game are generated based on celestial events and transits. alchemy is used to develop skills, collect materials, and craft items within the game world. many of these skills, materials, and items have real world counterparts that can be used to participate at live events and receive exclusive loot in the EclectiKOriginz (ekoz-art) merchant booth.

//2018 I CREATED A DISCORD ACCOUNT BECAUSE IT CONNECTED TO MY PATREON ACCOUNT I CREATED IN 2016. WASN'T SURE HOW TO USE IT FOR A FEW YEARS, BUT I'VE REALLY ENJOYED ORGANIZING ALL MY ART AND GAMING CONTENT TO IT. MOST OF MY PROJECTS ARE OFTEN POSTED TO THE ekoz CHAT DISCORD SERVER BEFORE ANYWHERE ELSE, RVN3S GAMING EMOJI ARE AVAILABLE FOR SERVER MEMBERS, AS WELL AS MAKER NIGHT, ART NIGHT, AND GAME DEV NIGHT CONTENT ORGANIZED BY CATEGORIES.

//2020 I STARTED CREATING THIS ASTRO ROOM MAP ON MY PHONE USING THE MALL WIFI INTERNET BECAUSE I HAD NO ACCESS TO MOBILE DATA. I WORKED ON THIS DURING EVERY BREAK AND SPARE MOMENT I COULD FIND BETWEEN WORKING TWO RETAIL JOBS AND REGULARLY CHANGING PLACE OF RESIDENCE FOR YEARS.

3D game PROTOTYPES
​
​
-ELEMENTAL TEMPLES DEMO 2010-2012 (UNITY)
SOLVE PUZZLES USING TORCHES AND BUTTONS IN RANDOMIZED DUNGEON MAPS
//THIS IS WHEN I FIRST DESIGNED THE ALPHABET FOR RVN3S AND WROTE THE GODRUNE POETRY WALLS. THIS SET OF RUNES IS VISIBLE IN THE STARTING ROOM. SOLVING THE PUZZLE UNLOCKS THE DOOR TO THE REST OF THE DUNGEON AND TRIGGERS MAP RANDOMIZATION.
THIS PROTOTYPE WAS CREATED ON THE FIRST JOHNNY5 GAME DEV DESKTOP BUILD i USED (WITH CONSTANT GLITCHES AND TROUBLESHOOTING THAT INCLUDED NUMEROUS TECHS) FROM 2010 THROUGH 2018. BEFORE IT HIT CRITICAL BREAKDOWN DUE TO A MOTHERBOARD SHORT. I STILL HAVE THE ORIGINAL SERVER TOWER CASE, BUT THE COMPUTER HAS BEEN REBUILT IN TWO SEPARATE DESKTOPS. THIS FILE WAS SALVAGED FROM THE ORIGINAL HARDDRIVE.
​
2D game PROTOTYPES
​
-match 3 2024 (game maker lts)
match 3 or more to collect celestial orbs. LEARN PLANETARY ORB SYMBOLS
​
//THIS PROTOTYPE WAS THE FIRST ATTEMPT AT DEMO GAMES IN THE EVENT BOOTH. THE LAPTOP TIMED OUT AND WENT TO SLEEP OR GLITCHED FROM RUNNING THE GAME TOO LONG WITHOUT ANY PLAYER ACTIVITY.
​
2024 PROTOTYPE WAS CREATED ON A LENOVO THINKPAD THAT DOESN'T CURRENTLY RECOGNIZE ITS OWN KEYBOARD BASE, SO IT'S BASICALLY JUST A DRAWING TABLET THAT OVERHEATS QUICKLY.
-celestial orbs 2025 (gm 8.0 lite)
control platforms to collect celestial orbs, ringz and dyscs
​
//THIS PROTOTYPE IS THE SECOND ATTEMPT AT DEMO GAMES IN THE EVENT BOOTH. I'VE HAD IT RUNNING AT BARTERFAIRE AND FAIRYBLOSSOM FESTIVAL USING A PROJECTOR ON A SCREEN WALL.
​
2025 PROTOTYPE IS CURRENTLY BEING CREATED ON JOHNNY5-25 LAPTOP.

Concepts created using midjourney in the EKOZ Chat Discord Server
//yes, these concepts were made using an AI image generation tool. it's not a perfect solution, but it's what i have available to me at this stage. ideally, i would have my own art fed into a tool i program myself, but i'm not quite that skilled yet with developing a tool for this purpose. i don't have funds to pay anyone else to make each sprite image, nor do i have the time to make all of them from scratch by myself.
