A closer look at all the nitty-gritty details of our protagonist's initial awakening, this time highlighting the sci-fi elements of the game. A lot of work has gone into this one – enjoy!

First test of R3M3DY's combat system. Very WIP but plenty space for improvement. Projectiles and spells use up power while melee hits charge it.

Dead Space, Kona, Myst... These are the games that suddenly came to mind when speaking of isolation
#gamedev thoughts: What games do a good job of capturing a feeling of isolation?
This can be an important element in horror: the idea that you are hopelessly alone, surrounded by nothing and no one, and can only rely on yourself.

😍 Reading interviews like this reinforces my hope that there are still real game developers who aren't just chasing money, but who want to create value in this world
My latest indie dev interview is with Sylvain Abrial (Calepin Studio), the French solo developer behind the unique exploration/puzzle game Reliefs The Time of the Lemures, inspired by the Calanques region in France.

How we started our game:
-Not many indies were making multiplayer games
-Made a multiplayer framework for indie devs
-Used it to make a spaceship game as a proof of concept
-Wanted to make another game set in space
-We love cosmic horror and said "okay let's do that"

Most of the stuff I listed launches today, actually. Personally, I'm probably most intrigued by Rue Valley; can't say no to a time loop story.

Hello #gamers from all over the world! I would like recommendations for a dark fantasy witch game. I really like the Korean movie Exhuma and the series Britannia, so I'm looking for a video game with a similar atmosphere (dark magic, shamanism, druids, witches etc) #horror #gaming #GamerSky

We've mentioned before how finding and using items to your advantage will be a key aspect of the game, so we've been working on an item/weapon wheel system to help with that. Item pickup/handling is also being worked on.

Thief and System Shock 2 are among our inspirations. "Investigative exploration" is also a key phrase we like. You'll explore an area and collect items, some of which can help you in strategic ways: by creating distractions, you'll be able to safely sneak past enemies.
