Explosions heard far away. Closing in. Zero line. Daily commute. Contact. We listen, we look, we play - filtered and protected. Lives end on an anonymous battlefield. On our screen. Not on our screen.
War Video Report, a game by periphery, is coming soon.

No health or stamina bar. No counter for ammunition. Only the visuals of your character will guide your decisions in our upcoming game.
Here, you can see each of the ~650 handmade sprites needed for the soldier. It took many iterations, and we are very happy with the result.

This is our game War Video Report. We have already developed a 2D isometric system and the core game logic. Now we are working on the assets and the layout of our world. You can have a look into our progress at our bsky page. Happy to hear your feedback :) #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiedev

The game' trigger system in action. The colored elements are a debug visualization of invisible triggers in the world. Once the line is crossed the trigger event happens. Triggers cause enemy spawns, artillery bombardement, ambient sound changes and also some scripted events. #gamedev #indiedev

We are actively working on our first test map. Here are early sketches to explore asset- and level design. #gamedev #indiedev #conceptart #leveldesign #lookdev

Music will have a small, but important role in War Video Report. Here one of our early explorations. #gamedev #indiedev #gamemusic

A sketch of one of our enemy AI final state machines. We realized planning the FSM out carefully first on paper helped a lot. Each arrow represents a state transition that is conditioned by a set of Booleans. The exit conditions are shown in the "Exit State Matrix" on the left. #gamedev #indiedev

We now have a system, that detects objects between explosions and the player and takes into account how they dampen the blast. In the video you see how the "expl.objdamp" value goes up, as the violet probe passes through the walls.

We are adding mechanics bit by bit. Here fpv drones are chasing and attacking the player.

We made progress with enemy AI in the last weeks. Surprisingly it does not take much to make a very mean enemy, especially when you give them grenades. #indiedev #gamedev #indiegames #gamedevelopment

We created a blog! Our first post goes in-depth on how we managed to properly display our player in front of or behind assets — creating the illusion of 3D in our 2D game. #indiegames #indiegame #gamedev #indiedev
How we handle Z Order in our isometric game.
It took us a while to come up with our current solution, and we’d love to hear your thoughts on it.

Do we dare call this "gameplay"? Last week we had some progress with enemy AI. Here a test level with randomly spawning enemy soldiers. #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame
