Finally stopped procrastinating and started on my dialogue system again. I'm still conceptualizing some ideas in my head about animations and actions tied to dialogue things but tackling basic talking with other characters for the next couple days. #wip #1bit #pixelart #gamedev #indiehorror

I have a toy record maker now - this will help me produce super lofi, super bad quality (intentional) promo vinyls for Hellkind.

I'm recording vinyls to market Hellkind to horror game streamers. I don't know why am I investing in this but it's such an exciting idea to have a solid product for another medium in your hands other than the main game itself.

Wait - I am making this top down game all in 3D, so what if I put the camera in first person?? Oh my.

I don't need this, but I want it - I just need to find an excuse. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xe-s...

So sad to hear about the loss of jobs at Ubisoft Leamington. Such a shitty time we're in. Please feel free to reach out if you are affected. We are hiring at Maverick Games maverick-games.com - let me know if you need any information.

I have added a severed arm to the game because every horror game needs one - said no one.

Thoughts and prayers for me.

Itโ€™s pretty much all mismanagement. Adopting new tech prematurely? Mismanagement. Changing creative direction in production? Mismanagement. Iterating on content 3+ times? Mismanagement. Adding major features in production? Mismanagement. Poor planning, failure to follow plans - all mismanagement.

Also I am happy to say that I fixed this issue after 3 months.

I was following some bsky feeds like 'art' for example - and the content turned into 'selfie posts feed'. I had way hotter takes on this but I'd like to keep my morning rage to myself this time.

My next game will be n-gage exclusive.

I downscale my main camera to apply the dithered effect (create a render texture and upscale it to fullscreen) but my camera bounds stay downscaled (the pink area in the screenshot). Cursor is tied to the pink area so the mouse offset is off. 2025 started strong.

I just realized I haven't posted about the game in a while here, so here's a cross.

โœจ 1K followers on Bluesky โ€“ beyond belief really. Loving the conversations and the growing community here โœจ Thank you all.

The game has unnecessary things like bloody trail of footprints or shootable(!) TVs now, because I've been doing everything except tackling the actual tasks for the past few sprints. ... I really need to finish the character design. #gamedev
