Hi~

Zalia Enigma Heart is standing in an overgrown field with a forest ahead of her. The sky is purple, orange, and gold -- either at sunset or sunrise. A dialogue box (strangely labeled with four question marks for the name instead of "Zalia") reads "Hello?"

WIP obviously (that gray blob on the left is eventually going to be a rock wall), but I'm really proud of this scene

A screenshot of Enigma Heart, a pixel art game. It's a nighttime scene in the wilderness. The main character is on a large hill that looks out onto a mountain range. It's nighttime. There's a haze of blue near the bottom of the sky, behind the mountains. There are stars in the sky. It's raining. The character is in her tent, prone, looking outside the tent toward her campfire, which is probably about to be extinguished by the rain.

Honestly not unhappy with this stacked version of Enigma Heart's logo that I had to create on the fly for Steam's library capsule.

Just Zalia holding things.

Zalia in a grassy field. She's holding a bright red heart-shaped gem above her head, with a big excited smile on her face.

Zalia in a rocky cave. Same pose, but she's holding a bottle full of purple liquid.

Zalia, same pose, holding a lantern, which lights up the otherwise dark room around her.

Zalia, holding aloft... a cow?!

Our main villain, Regnar, rules Lufain with an iron fist, believing absolute power to be the only way to protect the kingdom from ruin. Once a promising young prince, his vision has been warped by a dark alliance with demonic forces, driving Lufain into chaos.

Scripting time! I hope this works

Screenshot of Pluma (the MATE text editor) showing a cutscene script for Enigma Heart. It's a bunch of directives creating an entity, directing the entity's movements, hiding the game's hud, initializing a fade-in from black, and displaying title cards on screen.

#WIP artwork/mockup for the opening shot of the opening cutscene.

A pixel art scene of a grassy field. A river (which is unfinished; right now it's just a squiggly teal band of color) runs through it, starting on the horizon and growing as it approaches the camera. In the distance there are trees of a dense forest, which grow sparser until the forest ends. There are some large rock formations, including one that looks like it has a cave in it. It's all set against a blue sky. The player character, Zalia, is walking toward the camera, alongside the river. There's a title card reading "Enigma Heart", and another reading "Copyright 2025 by Hadrosaurus Software LLC. All rights reserved."

ALTGIF

Zalia stands at the entrance of a fortress made up of greenish teal tiles. She's in a canoe in the water. A waterfall covers the entrance. Beyond the waterfall are an obelisk and two large statues of a horned figure wielding a spear. The sky outside is a brightly-colored sunset sky of blurple, orange, and gold.

ALT

Screenshot of Enigma Heart, a 2D, pixel art, Zelda II-like side scroller. The heroine, Zalia, is emerging from a cave out into a swampy area. A slimy frog-like creature with a skull for a head is bouncing toward her. There are mushrooms, trees, rocks, and green swampy water. It's spooky dark inside the cave, and a bright blue sunny sky outside.

ALTGIF

Avery gay scene of Zalia: a Black fantasy hero dressed in teal, purple and white and wielding a short sword and a buckler, protecting her girlfriend Esme, a white woman with long, flowing red hair and a green-and-blue dress. Esme is swooning lesbianly. They're in a dirt path in a lush green field filled with grass and flowers. Behind them is a quaint medieval village. Further beyond that, there is an ominous-looking castle set against a backdrop of a purple-and-black, stormy sky with lightning.

Little mockup to test out the concept in Aseprite

Screenshot of Enigma Heart, on the overworld map. Zalia is in a desert, with small patches of forest nearby. The whole thing is on a peninsula, surrounded by water. Overhead (so, between the camera and Zalia) are translucent white clouds.

I'm being about as subtle as a jackhammer.

EXT. LYDAEA - DAY

As Zalia and Remont are leaving the Purple Labrys together.

REMONT
So... Zalia, is it?

ZALIA
Yes.

REMONT
Zalia. How long have you and the tavern mistress been married?

Zalia stops in her tracks.

ZALIA
(extremely blushing)
I, er -- that is to say... no... I mean --
(stammering)
It's not like that. No, we're not --

REMONT
Peculiar. The way you look at each other... well, you know.

Remont continues walking, leaving a stunned Zalia standing still. On her reaction,

Screenshot of Enigma Heart, a pixel art, side-scrolling Zelda II-like action RPG. The hero Zalia stands before a cave entrance. Outside it's bright; inside the cave it's dark. The ground below her is grassy, and she's surrounded by tall grass, some of it as tall as she is. In the distance is a dense forest.

So many colorful things to get!

Screenshot of Enigma Heart's inventory screen. It's a large grid with icons representing various items the player can collect. Highlighted is a shield with a lesbian pride-colored heart adorning it. The text reads:

Large Shield
Adorned with a symbol of pride, this shield is larger than your buckler and can block most enemy projectiles.
Acquired: Island chain north of Dragon Peninsula

ALT

Same window. Player has scrolled down to highlight an icon representing Zalia. The text reads:

Zalia Doll
Not only is it adorable, it grands you one permanent extra life!
Acquired: [location of 1up doll #2]

A little scene I worked on today.

A scene in a grass clearing in the middle of a large forest. Dunes of an even larger desert lie beyond, with a blue sky overhead. Sitting atop three stone blocks is what appears to be a gold coin.

A screenshot of "Enigma Heart." We're on the overworld map, in a green field of grass with a lake, a river, and a forest nearby. The player character, Zalia, is surrounded by small blob-shaped creatures representing encounters.

Screenshot of Enigma Heart, in the village of Lydaea. Zalia is talking to a village guard. Her dialogue box reads "Thank you. I'm still getting used to things. My memory still isn't all there yet." Adorning the dialogue box is a 48x48 pixel art anime portrait of Zalia.
