Meet the 3D model of one of the many crows that roam the monastery in our survival horror game!

They're common, mysterious, and central to the game's symbolism.

Watch your step… the crows are always watching 🐦‍⬛

I have started a prototype in #Construct3 envolving a team based RPG, and I still don't know where to find inspiration from. My options are either Darkest dungeon or a Pokemon like game. Any suggestions?

Here is a peek on the small narrative project I described las week developed in ink. 🙈

I already implemented a combat system and most of room logic. I'm still missing the descriptions and narrative but from here it'll be smooth sailing 😎

I´ve already done small projects in construct, Bitsy, Inky and Puzzlescript, but I have mainly used Unreal 5. 😁

Nicolás Sánchez @phantomarrow9.bsky.social · May 21

As I mentioned in previous posts, i'll be trying new engines. #Construct3 is a very simple engine that can help me make some prototypes or even small games. 👾

Wish me luck!! 😎

Lately I’ve been playing the old pokemon games and I just can’t wait for summer and try doing a small prototype of a team composition like game.

I should be the one thanking you. Your level designs, the way you explain them and some of your videos are the main reason I started this journey into game design. Thank you for being such an amazing inspiration 🫶

I was wondering which context could be better suited the grapple gun mechanic I’m developing? A secret underground facility, a dungeon with big arenas and some obstacles or maybe a small city…

I’m happy to hear your opinions in the comments 😁

I've loved level design since the release of Cyberpunk 2077. Its levels were so polished they made me want to do many playthroughs to test different builds.

That's when I discovered the work of ‪@maxpears.bsky.social‬, where I learned how the different player styles were included in the levels.

Since I started studing videogame design I've always been interested in level design, but prototyping small mechanics by myself has shown me the wonders of programming. 👾

Should I keep learning UE5 blueprint sistem or try other engines like Unity or Godot? 🤔

Take a look at the actual state of our church. The artists have been putting the work with the dressing. 😎

Here is the structure I will be following for a narrative stile game I'm developing in Ink. 😎

In this game you will be able to enter a dungeon and seek some ancient treasures!!

Will you be able to survive long enough to get out? 👻

Sorry for the lack of posting this past weeks, been very bussy. 😅

Here is a small peek of the layout I developed for my level in @insidethecrowsnest.bsky.social

This is a third person survival horror game like the old school Resident Evil games 👻

I will keep updating the progress of the game 😁

I’m thinking of a speedrun game like karlson; but also considering a coop with other features, like getting over it. 😁😁

Hey folks !! 👋

I've been working on a prototype for a grappling gun in #UE5 🔫

It features a "bullet time" feature, helping players to aim more comfortably and, let's be honest, it looks pretty awesome 😜

How would you enhance this mechnic to make it more engaging?? 🤔

I'm building new levels to get a glimpse of #leveldesign! They are looking fun so far! (art from the amazing @jamiebrownhill.bsky.social)

Next I'll focus on new enemies (I'll experiment on unity #Behavior package), to make #combat more interesting 🏹

He will relentlessly pursue the player, lurking through the corridors...

The Church, a very enigmatic scene brought to live by a #ConceptArt of our artists ⛪

This is the last stop in the hunter's path to freedom, will you be able to help him?
