For our survival horror game, we're implementing a Fresnel material to highlight pickups🕯️

Since items in this genre usually don’t stand out much, exploration is key

We’ve added a soft blinking effect (still being fine-tuned), to help players identify pickups

The Scriptorium is coming together! We've tweaked the lighting and cleared clutter to improve navigation.

Players will find a key clue and item for the library puzzle here, plus a bit of hidden lore for the curious ✨

This is the dressing process for the Relic Room in our survival horror game 💎

In this area, the player can find a clue and an item needed to solve the zone puzzle

While exploring, they'll also have to overcome a few challenges. 🐦‍⬛

💾 Save mechanics in our survival horror are inspired by classic Resident Evil

Use a limited item at the monastery statue to ignite the flame and save🕯️🐦‍⬛

This mechanic adds tension, though there’s still a lot of work ahead!

Lately, I’ve been adding more detail to my City Builder prototype.

✅ I finished implementing the technology system and added a happiness mechanic tied to food supply, which now affects worker speed.

✅I also polished the visuals to give the game a more appealing look. 🎨

Building in some light foreshadowing in the library level. 🕯️

You can spot a key lore item through a gap near the entrance, but you’ll only reach it later via a hidden passage in the next room.

🖋️ For my Inky game, I was inspired by Slay the Princess and Pocket Mirror 💜

I aimed to create a dramatic experience with grotesque scenes that make the player uncomfortable and emotionally involved. The story also branches based on choices.

Since my game is inspired by classic Survival Horror, one of the main challenges has been setting up fixed cameras. Finding the right angle to show key elements takes time and lots of iteration! 😅

👀 Here's a little sneak peek:

💜 Currently working on my first Inky project!

It’s a text-only interactive horror/thriller story with branching paths and multiple endings. I’ve also created a diagram to map out the areas and choices leading to each chapter.

More details soon! ✨

🧩 Here's the Puzle area of the Library, from the initial blocking to the first dressing pass!

Inspired by Survival Horror classics, it includes mechanics like object pushing, inventory use, and clue hunting to solve it

It shows key areas, items, and challenges players will face.

I've been refining the level throughout development to enhance the experience.

Here's my first mini game in Construct3: Hamster's Bakery! 🍰

A prototype I made last year for a cute' em up mixing silly, sweet elements. Glaze cakes, score points, buy upgrades.

Thinking of polishing the art and adding new mechanics. Should I?

This is a city builder prototype I created to practice Blueprints and explore economy design ideas ✨

I also added custom art to better match the game’s narrative and vibe. Planning to add some improvements soon :)

Thank you all for the support on MERY.EXE!

I didn’t expect such positive feedback, especially since it’s my first #bitsy game.

I’m thrilled you enjoyed this short narrative! More projects coming soon. 🎮

My first #puzzlescript game! 👾

One of my favorite parts to design was the chase mechanic, that changes how you solve level puzzles. I wanted to give the game a little twist according to the plot.

Developing my first #PuzzleScript game! A short narrative-driven puzzle where a little witch ventures into the dark forest to find her lost friend. 🌳🧙‍♀️

I’ve designed the game to blend storytelling with puzzle mechanics, adding a unique twist.

Stay tunned! ✨
