It’s great to have you here! I’m n500, a solo developer with a strong background in psychology. I bring my expertise to The Martin Experiment, a visual novel that blends humor, intrigue, and emotional depth into a story designed to spark your curiosity and leave a lasting impression.
Right now, I’m working solo on every aspect of the project—writing the story, coding the game, creating 3D environments, curating music, handling sound effects, managing promotions, and more. Thankfully, I have a talented 2D artist who brings the characters to life with stunning designs and sprites. While I’m dedicated to delivering quality over quantity, there’s a limit to what we can achieve without additional support.
This is where you come in! Your contributions enable me to commission more artwork, upgrade our tools and equipment, and invest in effective promotion. With your help, we can bring new updates to life more quickly, expand the game with exciting content, and ensure we maintain the quality and creativity that make The Martin Experiment truly special.

Your support is key to bringing The Martin Experiment and other stories to life!
Creating this game is a labor of love, and I’m fully committed to giving you the best experience possible. With your support, we can achieve so much more—faster updates, richer content, and the chance to start developing even more captivating games for you to enjoy!
I update the game most frequently on our patrons-only page where I collaborate closely with the artist to ensure his drawings align seamlessly with the scenes and dialogue. Patrons provide their feedback in the comments section during the testing phase, helping us refine and improve the game.
At the same time, I integrate music, sound effects, visual effects, and code to enhance the experience. Once everything is polished, I release the update first to our 6+ tier patrons as a special thank you for their continued support. A few days later, the update is made available to everyone here on Itch.
Your support, at any tier, speeds up development by allowing me to request more artwork per cycle from the artist. This helps us release updates faster and bring exciting new content to you sooner!
You can see more details about our release workflow in this diagram on my Patreon page. If you have any questions or thoughts, feel free to reach out!
