Dead Format Demo now on Itch!
A first-person survival horror game with live action film clips.
It's a love letter to different eras of horror films and inspired by a time of horror censorship in the UK (unfortunately this feels oddly relevant again today).

I try to get an hour or two of mad scientist time in each week to experiment with some weird idea.
This week it's a pint glass full of water with a hydrophonic microphone inside a broken speaker cab and dragging rubber mallets on the side to make some weird creature sounds!

Dead Format (formerly known as Video Ghastlies) is shaping up nicely.
🔊All sounds effects are handmade by @katanalevy.bsky.social who even went to his brother's work to record sound samples.

Environment sound design is one of my favourite aspects of game development! I recorded these sfx of machinery at my brother's work and love layering up the environment with sounds like painting with colours from a palette.

This is so extremely useful! All the previous places to look for reference images are completely polluted, we desperately need repositories of non-AI images.
GenAI has polluted image search results, especially for animal pics. It’s now basically impossible to find accurate art references.

Heartbreaking news about David Lynch. The first film I saw of his was Lost Highway and it still influences a lot of the things I make in some way. Every piece of art he worked on seems so unique and also uniquely Lynch.

Instead of spending £300 on a binaural mic for my game dev work, I spent Sunday evening with some rubber ears from ebay, toilet roll tubes, duct tape and milliput to make one myself for under £30.

Absolutely disgrace. Years of trying to lock kids up for Napster, discontinuing movies because of music rights, YOU WOULDN'T STEAL A CAR promo bullsh*t and they're ready to give it ALL away to big tech billionaires
Today, the UK government announced a proposal to change copyright law - for the benefit of AI companies - that would cause huge, irreversible harm to creators.
