Hello everyone! 👋
I’m Allie, a writer of interactive fiction and an urban planner by day. I’m passionate about creating story-rich games that feature memorable characters and fascinating worlds, often drawing from my own experiences as a queer woman from Singapore. 🌈
Ongoing projects
College Tennis: Origin Story 🎾 – A slice-of-life sports game where you play as a varsity tennis player at Cargill College, alongside a colorful cast. It’s about coming-of-age, the joys and complexities of romance and friendship, and chasing a dream. (Demo)
Merry Crisis 💔 – A bittersweet romance about being in your late 20s, trying to figure out where ‘home’ is after a messy break-up and nearly a decade spent living in a city far from home. (Demo)
Future projects
I’ve also got a whole drawerful of plans and ideas that I’m super excited to turn into full-fledged games one day. Here's a sampling of some brain worms that I hope to work on in the future:
Space Diner (working title) 🚀 – Stardew valley meets Mandalorian in this cozy sci-fi slice-of-life where you, an ex-space smuggler, tries to keep a diner afloat on Callisto, a backward colony on the far edges of the galaxy, and hopefully stay out of trouble.
City of Smoke and Ashes (working title) 🕵️♀️ – A gritty, atmospheric noir thriller set in alternate-history 1930s Shanghai, where political intrigue, family drama, and martial arts action collide. It’s The Godfather, written by Wong-Kar Wai.
Golden Boot (working title) ⚽ – A slice-of-life sports drama about trying to breakthrough as a football player in your mid-20s, playing for a mid-tier club, and struggling to make ends meet. It’s a story of ambition, perseverance, and navigating the highs and lows of being a professional athlete in a cutthroat world.
Now, on to the main segment!
I'm super excited to announce that I'm expanding to Patreon alongside my Ko-fi! 🎉
Both platforms will be receiving the same awesome content, and the tier pricing will stay the same across the board. It's just an extra option for folks who prefer subscribing on Patreon.
Here’s more information about what you can expect in each tier:
$3 Tier – You’ll get updates via a monthly dev log, and be kept in the loop on how things have been progressing. It’s just a low-commitment tier and a way of saying “I like your games." In ko-fi parlance, it's like buying me a coffee every month.
$6 Tier – You’ll get early access to demo updates for both CT:OS and Merry Crisis. For months without a new demo update, I’ll try to throw in a teaser/snippet of what I’ve written for an upcoming update.
Looking ahead
In 2026, I’m planning to take the big step of taking a year-long break from my day job to work full-time on game development! 🎮 To make this transition possible, I’m working towards building up my Patreon and Ko-fi subscriber income-streams so I can bring more of my games and projects to life. Every little bit of support will take me a little closer to that goal.
Closer to the 2nd half of 2025, I’ll likely be launching a higher $9 tier with more exclusive content, including sneak-peeks at the projects I’m working on, including but not limited to Merry Crisis and CT:OS… 👀
Signing off
I want to a say big thank you to all of you from the bottom of my heart. Whether you’re following me on Ko-fi or on Patreon, your support allows me to keep doing what I love. 💖
Catch you all soon! 🚀
Love,
Allie
