Welcome to my little corner of itch!

Heyo! I'm an indie game developer, software engineer, writer, and newbie music producer operating as Vanir Software. Fantasy is my favorite genre; I can’t resist RPGs, but honestly the real appeal is compelling stories and action.  When I'm not busy with school I'm working on some software or trying to learn more about making music.

🎮 Video Game Development

Making games is what brings all my interests together! I'm especially fond of RPGs, but I enjoy experimenting with all sorts of genres and ideas. From small game jam projects to much larger adventures, I love the process of turning an idea into something people can experience.

🔧 Plugins & Tools

Sometimes making games means making the tools to make games! I develop plugins for RPG Maker MV and MZ, and I'm currently building a development environment for RPG Maker U2U! i also make other tools and resources to make life a little easier for game development. I enjoy figuring out how things work, finding ways to improve them, and sharing the results with people who might find them useful.

📖 Creative Writing

I've always had a soft spot for fantasy and storytelling, I'm addicted to xianxia and isekai LitRPG. I enjoy building worlds, developing characters, and exploring the little details that make a setting feel alive. Outside of game development, I also work on my own fiction, particularly fantasy and LitRPG stories.

⚔️ Game Design

I love getting into the nitty-gritty of game mechanics! Combat systems, character progression, exploration, economies, balancing... there's something satisfying about figuring out how all the little pieces fit together. I'm particularly interested in creating systems that are fun to learn and weave in and out of each other to create intensely deep mechanics. I know a lot of people think Game Design is just having ideas for cool games, but I enjoy it for what it really is; the designing of systems and features and the architecture of the entire project.

✒️ Game Writing

While it isn’t essential to craft an overly intricate plot, there is such a thing as choosing weak narrative for a project and ruining an otherwise successful title. Dialogue, quests, and world-building is loads of fun for me. I love creating worlds that compel the player to care. And it gives me a kick when players discover the extra detail hidden within a scene.

🎵 Music Composition

I've been trying to pick up music production as well. I don't understand it too much at the moment, and it's pretty difficult for me to get something going. But once I got it going I think I do it pretty well! I could definitely use a mentor though!

Thanks for stopping by

This is the place where I will share whatever it is that I am currently working on, ranging from a game to an RPG Maker plugin to some original music.

If anything strikes your fancy, give it a try! Buying my products not only supports what I do but gives me more time to create. Reviews, ratings, and comments would be very much appreciated.

Thank you for looking at my stuff.
