I implemented the "Inspect" feature! Combined with time-rewind, it finally feels like a real game. These two mechanics will be the core of the puzzle-solving experience.

I'm developing a first-person puzzle escape game, Back Alley.
Implemented an early event scene! Syncing animation, sound, and UI was tough—but seeing it all come together is incredibly fun.
Still a long way to go, but I'll keep going!

English subtitles are now supported alongside Japanese! Always fun to see how a single line changes its tone across languages.

Refined the time-rewind effects. They express subtle unease when something feels off, and the release as supernatural power awakens. With light and distortion, I aimed to show reality unraveling. Visualizing abstract emotions is never easy.

Still a work in progress, but the time-rewind effects are finally taking shape. VFX is tough to get right, but it's so much fun!

Still working on the UI. Added a tiny micro-interaction that probably no one will notice.
Don't see it? Perfect. 😏

Made a small locker-opening mechanic today. The UI is designed for immersion. Nothing fancy, but moments like this remind me why I love making games.

Implemented a time-rewind mechanic to restore a broken sign. Added sparks and lighting effects — my first post showing real gameplay!

Two months into learning Unreal Engine, I’m building a puzzle game set in a Japanese back alley.
What once was an empty space has now grown into a small city!

I worked hard on this utility pole, but in-game it’s lost in the shadows. At least the darkness covers up my questionable wiring skills.

Developing a first-person puzzle game set in the back alleys of Japan, where you solve mysteries by rewinding time.
This week I added more props and a custom LUT to boost the mood.

Made my own Japanese lantern material.
Created PBR textures in Substance Designer and used Dot Product in Unreal Engine for wrap-around lighting.
Love those moments when tech turns into art.

Made power lines with Spline today. At one point I accidentally created an infinite loop in Blueprint and thought UE would never boot again… 😅
But now with vertical and horizontal accents, the alley finally feels more alive.
