Chini is E's Familiar and traveling companion. E found her when she was just a pup, and she eventually became so close to him that they can communicate telepathically together. This helps them coordinate in a survival situation, such as in battle or trying to solve a puzzle to progress in their travels, and she has an incredibly strong bite, giving her barbarian-level strength points. 

Chini is laid-back with a bubbly personality and loyal to a fault. She has a tendency to act without thinking, which gets her and the gang in trouble at times, but she is always willing to lend a paw to get them back out of it. 

Maxwell is a Beagle familiar who is proficient at sniffing out items of interest. His nose is powerful enough even to transcend the Super-Net, picking up scents in the real world. 

He comes into contact with Elektrodias and Chini in the beginning of the events of Dawn of the Dusk Virus, where he tracks down where E is in a deep slumber and wakes him, warning of the imminent threat to their home. 

Maxwell is quite the grump, with a by-the-book attitude and a deep loyalty for his master, Aurelia. He joins Elektrodias to help save the Net-Hub at her request. 

 (also goes by "E")

A guardian of the Net-Hub, a mega-city within the Super-Net.

"E" was given powers of Electricity and device hacking by the Super-Net's creators to use not only in the Virtual World, but also to influence the real world. The creators also gave him a conscience to better serve the interests of the Net-Hub and to keep the peace.

Elektrodias was programmed with a strong sense of determination and justice. He may look serious and apathetic most of the time, but deep down he cares deeply for his friends and will defend them till the end. As an Electromancer, his abilities are quite formidable, even to the point where he can summon weapons made from electricity and the code from his enemies, effectively copying their weapon prowess.

In peaceful times, Elektrodias goes into stasis until the Net-Hub needs him again...

Elektrodias leads his beagle-bull companion through a Voxel Portal out of the Super-Net, their forms changing from simple pixels to a 2d sketch. An unsettling feeling grows in the pit of their stomachs as they anxiously trudge on, unaware of what strangeness awaits them on the other side...

I went through maybe 5 or 6 different drafts trying to make this cover art. Drawing is not my forte, and I was going to hire some actual artists to make it for me...but with scheduling conflicts and them being too busy (understandably, we all got stuff going on.) I decided to give it a whirl myself. The original idea was a bit more complex, but sometimes simple is best!

In the plot of Dawn of the Dusk Virus, Elektrodias wakes from stasis to discover his homeworld, The Net-hub, has been plunged into darkness and corruption. It would seem that after the events of The Great Recollection, peace did not last. Somehow, the threat of the Dusk persisted...

At this point, the Dusk Virus has taken over and corrupted most of the SuperNet, the universe in which the Net-Hub and the other digital worlds reside. 

After clearing out the Net-hub of the dark menace, the two find out that the location of the Virus's main base of operations--known as the Hive Fortress--is barred from entry by a mechanical door, sealed by the life force of two Wardens and four beasts. Each of these foes carries a key to the door. 

Thus, the two heroes set out once again on another quest to save the Net-Hub. But this time they will encounter tougher enemies, gain new companions, meet old friends, and face bigger challenges!

The Single Cover for Calamari Cauldron Cousins. 

Elektrodias and Co. Travel to the Calamari Cauldron on a Lava Barge. Calamari Cauldron is a massive volcanic crater with a vast lava sea. Tons of creatures dwell underneath the fiery waves, with millions of years of evolution steeling them against the harsh environment. 

In this stage, our heroes must face these hungry creatures, as well as a gang of bloodthirsty undead pirates who roam the fiery brine, captained by none other than the heartless--and skinless--Osbone Jonas...

Every good game has a cool fiery lava level in it. I wanted to use deep notes and chords as well as an organ and bellowing synths to paint a picture of a unique lava level to give people that nostalgic feeling of playing in a scorching hellscape in their favorite games growing up. 

The cover art for the single Beat-em-up Valley. 

Beat-em-up Valley is the first stage in Elektrodias and Chini's 2nd adventure. The duo finds themselves in the bustling city, with creatures under the influence of the Dusk Virus running amok. They feed off of the corruption of its dictator, the Duke of Pixels... 

The vision of the song was to be a callback to the Beatemup genre of arcade games like Streets of Rage or Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 3 and 4: Turtles in Time.
