Ammo has been removed from NIGHTMARE OPERATOR. It has been replaced with the Heat System.

Shooting generates Heat. Overheating means you cannot shoot for a period.
Switching Modules, performing melee attacks, and utilizing Discharge Cancels reduce Heat.

We've been quietly plugging away at #nightmareoperator, and we're intentionally holding some cards close to the chest.

Still, we want to show off some of the cool polishing we've been doing. Here's an example: smooth volumetric fog transitions.

In NIGHTMARE OPERATOR, switching weapons as quickly as possible is the key to efficiently dispatching enemies.

It's almost time for #evojapan2025!

If you're attending the event, stop by our booth and give the latest build of #nightmareoperator a try!

We're very interested in getting feedback from the FGC in regards to how we've integrated fighting game mechanics into NIGHTMARE OPERATOR.

Character design for Misha, the protagonist of Nightmare Operator. She has blue hair in a ponytail, and wears a uniform that somewhat resembles a suit.

The setting image for the Kuchisake-Jyoshi enemy from Nightmare Operator. It is a creature that resembles a schoolgirl, but wields a fearsome, large pair of scissors and has a giant mouth lined with razor teeth where its eyes should be.

We’re using YarnSpinner to handle dialogue in Nightmare Operator! It’s a great tool and we heavily recommend it to any other indie developers looking for a dialogue solution.
yarnspinner.dev Yarn Spinner @yarnspinner.dev · Mar 14
We've also got TWO great talks to share:

💪 How tools like #YarnSpinner help people access + re-skill into new domains of gamedev, empowering small teams.

🚢 How Yarn Spinner was used in DREDGE, not just for narrative but also game state and vibe, + the lessons learned doing it.
#GDC #GDC25 #GDC2025
Colourful composited image shows the time, titles and details of two talks upcoming from Yarn Spinner at GDC. The first is called "Making Room with Yarn Spinner" at 9:30 on Monday morning. The description is "If we want more voices in games we need less barriers to entry. Learn how we're doing that with Yarn Spinner". The next is called "Dredge and Yarn Spinner: Building Narrative with Open Source" at 2:30 in the afternoon on Thursday. The description of this one is "see how the Dredge team created an accessible, localised dialogue system with deep integration into gameplay systems, and how you can do the same!"

BTW if you need another reason to follow this team and their game Nightmare Operator: I'm executive producer on it. I've been working with them on the side for over a year, helping to focus the story, hone the vibes, and crunch the mechanics.

Effectively weaving between melee combat, parries, Discharge Cancels, and shooting is key to surviving in the Toyko Ruins.
