Here's some particle effects from an early version of my game. It's just some speed lines at the time. I was just trying to get the hang of the niagara system. I'll have since gotten into the material editor and have been messing around with that. #indiedev #gamedev

Still ill. Been unwell for a week now. Slept most of today. Could easily sleep more. Back to it as soon as possible

Won't be live streaming tonight, down with a cold at the moment. No one wants hear me sniffing and sneezing lol

So are there any other aspiring game devs based in the UK around here? I'd love to see what people are working on. #gamedev #indiedev #UK

Tonight I live streamed a development update on Mimic! This stream went over the observations I made when showcasing the game at EGX in London and the changes made in response. Overall very excited for these changes and what they bring to the game. youtube.com/live/V3tIBI-... #gamedev #horror

Little bit of audio design today. The match countdown timer will now trigger and fade into a heart racing finale

Two hardest things to make in a game: the beginning, and the ending. Currently going through and making the ending of Mimic, epic, rewarding, and make you want to jump in for another round. #gamedev

Reworking the door UI in Mimic to prioritise user information more and emphasize the sci-fi fantasy #gamedev #indiedev #horror

Coming next week some videos on understanding and using PCG in Unreal Engine 5!
