Placeholder animation was way to intense, so I started working on the game feel side of it. What a lovely Saturday it has been so far

Not what you want to find when looking for scrap and fuel on an abandoned research station

After the retreat order, the test subjects now roam the empty research labs in the Dark Sector

Still ways to go with the animation, but I'm glad today the systems are working

Research stations are quite dangerous locations in Retreat From Darkness

Just had a Retreat From Darkness test run. My heart is pounding, but I beat the game. There is still a lot of work to be done, but I'm super happy with how good it has become since I started.

How about some Retreat From Darkness pre-alpha gameplay?

Is it worth working on that 10% of the game if only 2% of the players will ever experience it? Yes it is. That is the kind of thing that gave Silent Hill 2 it`s depth and that is the kind of thing Retreat From Darkness will have. The 2% deserves it.

Finished this year`s #GMTKJam project. Unfortunately, I did not have much time this year. The game is just one big loop with not much to do in it, and lacks sound design. If you would like to check it out and feel it's mood, here is the itch page:

Off to a slow start on #GMTKJam , just promise me, whatever happens, you will press the button before the timer ends.

Though, to be honest, there is still work to be done (specially UI)

A muzzle flash a day is not enough to keep them at bay.
Retreat From Darkness will not be an easy game.
👽Wishlist it now!

Seeing all this DK Bananza talk begs me the question: should I add Banana Gun to Retreat From Darkness?

Hey #gamedev , what do you listen to while working?
🎶
This has been my loop soundtrack, sends me exactly to the vibe I need.
