Salutations & a warm welcome to all! My name is Tracie and I thank you for stopping by my webpage!

An Artist's Ode is my testament to the love of art and the power of video games as a medium of unbridled creativity. With heartfelt sincerity and dedication, I form an ode and release it into the world hoping it can provide comfort, introspection, and joy to another. My games are my art and they come from the heart!

I employ a blend of unorthodox approaches and traditional standards to bring a game to fruition.

As a director and designer, the crux of my creative philosophy is driven by attention to detail, a plethora of inspirations, and a deep desire for compelling storytelling. I build prototyping schemas, visual blueprints, and wireframes that aid my construction of a clear vision of the mood, narrative, and themes within the game.

As a developer, I weave the architecture of the gameplay composition through patience, a deft understanding of engine mechanics, an openness to bleeding edge approaches, respect for traditional strategies, and many a playtest, debug and reiteration summarized and cataloged within passionate devlogs.

At long last a game is born as an artist's ode - from me to you.

A little TLDR on me, Tracie, the behind-the-scenes gal running the show here. I studied art history & museology for many moons before falling in love with video games. Art is still my first love in many ways and it bleeds into my work ever still. Additionally, I am a long-time music aficionado, film photographer, and cinema buff. Trade-wise I primarily use Unity, C#, Ink, CineMachine, MeshRoom, Godot, and GDscript to accomplish my visions. I learned HTML/CSS to create this website we are on now. My major inspirations are The House in Fata Morgana, Remedios Varo and The Portrait of The Artist as a Young Man!
