If I make the story a meta narrative about the horrors of navigating copyright law as a creative, would it be legally protected as parody...? 🤔
I'm back to working on my Platformer again 😎 I'm so much better at #gamedev now it's unreal... errr #unity

Finally set up Locks for my Sci-Fi Survival Horror game! Doors can be locked by Keycard, when the Power is out in the Sector, or if when destroyed
The Art & Sound is all new, and I think it communicates the mechanics pretty well!

Gamedev is such an interesting topic to talk about, but I find it really difficult to make regular content on actually making progress. Does anyone have advice on how to cultivate an online presence without distracting from development?

Flashback to my FPS Platformer project
The idea was to warp the design of Super Mario Bros into a bizarre horror shooter. I then discovered Doom The Golden Souls so I paused it for now. I still wanna flesh it out when I get a spare few weeks

Item Shader & Pickup functions in place! Rough UI also added to show your held keys, looking at Classic Doom for
reference. What you do think guys? Any notes?

Keycards for a Sci-Fi Horror game. Doom and System Shock were references. What do you think?
Added text makes them colourblind friendly! Gonna work on an item shader next so they stand out

Bluesky #indiedev gurus, does anyone have any tips for how to achieve this effect?
It's so sick! I've been looking to achieve something very similar to this as a gore shader for a zombie game, but I can't figure out how to apply it with volumes in world space

1/5 Since my mind is on Level Design at the moment, I'd like to share some things that help me in my process. This is something I firmly believe in that serves me very well!

As part of the level design process for my #Alien inspired game, I've decided to greybox the Nostromo to help with scale & art direction. It's already surprising how well it works as an interesting space to explore, even just as a flat untextured mesh

First Greybox for Totally Not Alien™! I think I may have accidentally made something really horrifying here. I've physically jumped out of my seat twice already 🤣 Not knowing where enemies are is awful lmao
What do you guys think?

@housetrapjay.bsky.social put me on the right path with Post Processing, like, I really forgot this was a thing in game haha !
The difference between the two scenes is cra-zy.

Question for #GameDev and #IndieDev veterans - when is the best time to start #LevelDesign for a game? How many core systems & mechanics should be in place, and what state should they be in? This is something I've grappled with for years - always starting too early or late

What are some Bluesky accounts I absolutely need to follow if I'm going to successfully market a #SurvivalHorror #IndieGame? Who are the biggest voices in the space and who should I know?
I've only just joined here, so helpful advice would be huge!

Some early footage for a bootleg Alien game I'm working on. Think of a lovechild of Alien Resurrection (PS1), Quake and Resident Evil 1-3. Any feedback is much appreciated!
