Finding Peace in the Process
How to Survive the Perfect Demoparty
For three days in late August, Cologne's AbenteuerhallenKALK became the center of the demoscene once again for Evoke 2026: we made two demos across two groups, a Phoenix conjured from ten colors, a night sky full of programmable drones, a wasp that made off with a chunk of somebody's sausage, and my first night sleeping on the floor of the hall.

Mansion of Trepidation
This is a choice-based solo fantasy adventure in the style of the 'Choose Your Own Adventure' books I developed in vanilla JavaScript. The graphics and text descriptions are generated using AI tools.

This is a three-page comic based on a story from the dream diary of Lucid Fera. The dreamer watches a blind woman encountering her cats and contemplating existence. I drew the comic on paper, colored the panels using Procreate on the iPad Pro, and used Comic Life on the Mac for layouts and lettering. You can find the detailed steps of the process in the project description.
