Working on dialogue system this week so not much new to show for #screenshotsaturday but here's a few recent screens.

Work continues on filling out the city's many locations. This week it's been City Hall - home to the Mayor, his staff and various public records which may come in useful during investigations. And sometimes you might just need to go down there and rattle a few cages! #screenshotsaturday #indiegame

Watching the brilliant Conclave #movie. Trying so hard not to imagine Father Ted Crilly in amongst it!

Over the festive period I had time to push on with some #gamedev but I had zero motivation. Now I'm back at work I'm feeling super motivated but I have zero time. Why do I have to be like this?!

⚠️ LATEST: Report Urges Public To “Lower Expectations For Forthcoming Year” 👇🏻 Join #BrokenNews for the details. youtu.be/egXi-IvR0sE?...

Why can't I get into Dark Souls!? Every year I try, thinking this will be the time it all makes sense and pulls me in, but every year I'm left confused and frustrated. What am I doing wrong? I really want to play Elden Ring but isn't that more of the same?

It's thirty-five years since my first game credit. Since then I've worked on good games, bad games, big ones and small ones. And the more experience I gain the more I realise just how little I actually know for certain - I'm just more comfortable admitting it. #gamedev

Been watching a lot of devlogs about making (financially) successful #indiegame. Some great insights. Seems like streaming suitability and moments with viral potential are key. Not sure my game will have either but I'm undeterred - I just want this game to exist in the world. #gamedev

Can't wait for this!

More environment work this week. Trying to get a first pass on all major building exteriors before I tackle interiors. By which time I'll probably have forgotten how the code works! #screenshotsaturday #indiegame #gamedev

A small progress update on Night and the City. Starting to flesh out the open world - the aim is to make it compact and dense rather than sprawling. I want it to feel busy, full of people with better things to do than talk to our hero. #gamedev #indiegame #noir www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qkrw...

Night and the City is our new game. It's still in its early stages, but it's slowly taking shape. Looking forward to sharing more info soon. #indiegame #gamedev

New game progress. Early days. #screenshotsaturday
