Description
Hi! I'm a self-taught digital artist and visual novel creator living in Riga, Latvia. My name’s Rivars, and I build cozy, romantic, dramatic, sad mysterious worlds - one panel, one game or one illustration at a time. I wasn’t always an artist. I studied Computer Science, earned my Master’s degree, and followed a more traditional path… until one day I picked up a stylus and couldn't stop. What began as a small passion quickly took over every free moment. Now, between parenting two wonderfully feral kids, I spend my time making art and storytelling through visual novels. MY WORK SO FAR I released my first VN in 2015, and since then, I’ve completed 5 games - 3 free, 2 commercial - under the name Rivars Studio . I handle everything myself: the art, writing, coding, design. All except music xD FREE GAMES : Harry Potter and the Transformency Spell Harry Potter and the Mysterious Thief Part I Harry Potter and the Mysterious Thief Part II COMMERCIAL GAMES: Indigo + Memory [Magnus Route] House Ghost [ Steam ] [ Itch.io ] WHY I MAKE VISUAL NOVELS From a young age, I was a huge Harry Potter fan. I loved reading fanfiction, I could easily stay up all night devouring story after story. But sometimes, those stories didn’t go the way I wanted them to. That’s when a thought hit me: why isn’t anyone writing fanfictions with choices? Something where the reader could actually influence how the story unfolds? Later on, I discovered Japanese visual novels, and they felt like the perfect answer. Not only could the reader choose what happens, but they could also see the story come to life through visuals. It seemed like a dream format. But at the time, I didn’t have the skills for that - I couldn’t draw well yet, and writing anything remotely interesting felt completely out of reach (it still feels like that lol). So I put the idea aside. Years later, after a lot of practice in drawing, I decided to try and make a game. The process made me so excited and happy, I knew I wanted to keep going. After finishing three free Harry Potter-themed visual novels, I finally felt ready to create something original of my own. All the intense drawing that went into making those games helped me grow so much as an artist. And while this Patreon was originally made to support my VN projects, over time it became harder to juggle commissions, game development, and personal art just for fun. So I decided to shift my focus here more toward sharing my artwork. That said, I still plan to continue making visual novels, just at my own pace, when I have both the time and inspiration to do so. WHAT DO YOU GET? This Patreon is a cozy little corner where I share my art, my stories, and all the behind-the-scenes pieces that don’t always make it into the final game or comic. It started as a way to support my visual novels but over time, it’s grown into something more personal: a space for connection, creativity, and community. Depending on the tier you choose, here’s what you’ll get: Reader: This tier is for the curious souls who love peeking behind the curtain. You’ll get: Early access to illustrations, comic pages, and visual novel updates Patron-first looks at sketches, mini-comics, and ideas-in-progress Behind-the-scenes extras like scrapped content, writing notes, and sneak peeks of upcoming scenes Collector [CLOSED FOR NOW] : This is for those who want to interact with the characters themselves. You’ll get everything from the Reader tier, plus monthly Character Q&A . Submit your questions, and I’ll answer them with a fun in-character sketch response (basically you can chose any character from the ones that I draw/drew frequently enough like HP or BNHA or my other AUs). Connoisseur [CLOSED FOR NOW] : For the patrons who want something a little extra - something just a bit more “alive.” You get everything from the previous tiers, but your Character Q&A answer comes as a Mini Comic Panel instead of a sketch. It’s a lovely way to get more expressive, story-rich replies from the
