Hello, I'm Mei!
✍️ [email protected]I'm a hobbyist writer and indie game developer based in Brazil. I love telling relatable, gut-wrenching stories.I'm a licensed psychologist. I utilize my studies and my practice in clinical psychology to write compelling, emotional stories that accurately represent the human psyche.
Writing characters and their journeys is my forte.I also have been making Ren'py visuals novels since 2020, and have released over a dozen projects since then.Here you can find the services that I currently offer, including writing outlines and scripts for videogames,
sensitivity reading, and Ren'py services such as scripting.
Services
As of June 16th, 2025, I am offering the following services:
Writing & Narrative Designing
Sensitivity Reading
Ren'py Scripting
Miscellanous Ren'py Services
Writing & Narrative Designing
I offer writing services for video games, with a focus on character-driven, emotionally engaging storytelling. My specialty lies in visual novels, but I’m also experienced in branching narratives, choice-based systems, and dialogue-heavy formats.The genres I have the most experience with are romance, psychological horror, drama, and slice of life. I particularly enjoy working on projects with queer themes and characters.I can aid you with narrative design, character development, worldbuilding, or polishing in-game text.
Ren'py Scripting
I offer Ren’Py scripting services. I can create and apply camera movements, ATL animations, transitions, layeredimages, image tints, and more.In addition, I am also experienced with working with third-party Ren'py scripts, such as shaders, phone systems and accessibility utilities, and would be happy to help applying them to your project.All images below are from my games, with features that I scripted myself.
Camera work: Smooth pans, zooms, flips, tilts, and movement. Focusing on a specific character or moving away from a certain part of the background.
LayeredImages: Create layeredimages for your sprites, allowing you to mix-and-match expressions and poses.
Character animation: Create and apply ATL transforms for bouncing, fidgeting, laughing, shaking, jumping... make characters approach the player, run, squirm, flip, and more.
Audio integration: background music, sound effects, voice lines. Creating new audio channels and utilizing audio filters.
Image display: backgrounds, CGs, overlays, UI elements, and on-screen effects. Working with multi-layered images and adding effects to them in-engine, such as tints.
Character Customization: Setting up custom pronouns and names for characters. Customizing their appearence. Making dress-up games.
And more! Creating night/sunset variants in-engine, blurring BGs, animations for the GUI, flashback scenes, credit sequences... if you've seen it in a game of mine before, I can do it for you.
Pictured above: A custom choice screen coded by me. It utilizes buttons instead of images, making it easier to prepare for translations.NOTE: I have knowledge of the Ren'py screen language and can code and edit UI screens and add effects to them, however full custom GUI implementation is not something I usually offer.Let me know your idea and we can see if it's something I can make a reality!
Misc. Ren'py Services
Pictured above is a scene featuring tinted images, an interactable phone with texting features, and a calendar, from my project 'Doce Fim.'Other aspects of developing visual novels for Ren'py that I can aid you with.
