Grim Baccaris

Hello! I'm a writer, narrative designer, and game developer trying to get by. If you dig my work and have funds to spare, you could give me a bit more peace of mind knowing that I might be able to cover small expenses or even save up a bit of money each month. You’ll also gain access to a variety of inane ravings, disturbing artwork, and strange tomes! ITCH.IO | TWITTER | WEBSITE | & MORE About My Work I make interactive narratives, games, artwork, traditional prose fiction, tutorials, mistakes, and the occasional poem. My work is influenced by an interest in ritual, masks, autonomy, and the uncanny. My writing has been published in Kaleidotrope, sub-Q Magazine, and elsewhere, while my games have been exhibited at AdventureX 2022, Wordplay 2019, and more. I’ve published over 25 independent games since January 2016 and have several more in development, most notably Resurrection Gate. As a freelancer, I most recently worked on DON'T NOD's Harmony: The Fall of Reverie. I enjoy making visually-diverse games and experimenting with UI in Twine and other tools. In addition to my writing and interactive fiction projects, I'm currently working on the Twine Grimoire, a series of tutorials covering CSS & HTML customization in various Twine 2 story formats, and other Twine resources including stylesheets, guides, and templates. The first two volumes of tutorials are now available for free on itch. You do not need coding experience to use these resources; they're suitable for users of any skillset, but are geared toward writers and developers who are new to Twine, CSS, and HTML. Patrons gain early access to the Twine resources that I make before they're expanded on and posted elsewhere, as well as other exclusive rewards! Rewards If you’re about what I’m about and want to support my work, you can do so for as little as $2/month. Currently, Patreon is my only regular source of income, so I appreciate any and all support. Becoming a patron gives you early access to exclusive content being created as I work on upcoming projects, like behind-the-scenes WIP screenshots, Twine resources, concept art, and fiction excerpts. If you would prefer to make a one-time donation of $3 or more, you can do so through ko-fi. As far as resources go, after each set has been revised with input from patrons, they'll be formatted into a PDF and will become accessible for free on itch. All of my published and upcoming free games will also remain free to play and download, but if you become a patron you'll have early access to first drafts and discussions about the development process. Thanks for checking out my page, and thank you for any level of support you're able to give.
