I'm working on a game based on H.P. Lovecraft's short story.

It will be relatively short experience made in PS1 style and fixed cameras, main goal is to practice in UE5, 3D modelling and level design before I'll do my own original game.

Since it's for practice, game will be free.

Happy New Year!

New Year’s resolutions:
• 1 game release
• 2-3 animated short horrors

Ok, sounds easy, let’s go!

Such a strange feeling drawing the structure of the animals, seeing it from the inside. A little creepy even.

While on a vacation, jumped into creature design course.
I love drawing creatures, but figured out that I really lack experience and theory on it, so
For now studying different real creatures starting from the most common that I literally see every day - human. Using Procreate.

I noticed that Thumper is on sale now and instantly bought it.
Played it on Apple arcade on the iPad with gamepad a year or two ago and now coming back feels so good.

It's literally THE BEST most responsive rhythm game ever made.
If you like rhythm games and haven't played it, JUST DO IT, DO IT NOW

Wrapping up work before the Holiday, so I play rarely, but played Hungry Knight, it was interesting to see the origin of the Hollow Knight.
While my gf killed Nightmare King Grimm, holy shit.

I’m a happy owner of a stream deck now!
I used its software for more than 2 years I believe with my smartphone as a deck. It’s doing all routine tasks for me.
Repeatable tasks like export, some renders, pieces of code to reuse, indexing textures, backup files etc. Each takes just 1 button to do.

Not bad
67 in steam + 23 retro and itch games

When I saw the post, I thought it’s a research tree from RUST ahaha
Nice!

As well as some suddle directions, but ONLY when you press the button to scan the map (aka pathfinding in Dead Space) she will say something like "The console is over there!" if the scan hits your goal in some radius around you. Commenting on different pickups as well as Hal. Interactions feel alive
December 13, 2025 at 9:27 PM
Well it may be strange but she reminded me of voices in Hellblade. She exchanges dialogs or short phrases with Hal and for 30 minutes of gameplay I never felt that it was unnecessary or annoying.
E.g. enemy is about to burn the ground - she sometimes say "Hal, jump!", and other useful stuff.

Will they be able to maintain this feeling of novelty and will hacking/puzzles be exciting throughout all game - I don't know, but I hope so and I believe in CAPCOM!
December 13, 2025 at 9:16 PM
They made combat (shooting, attacks, evasions) slower at just right amount so that combat hacking be intense, but not overwhelming. Just PERFECT imo.

I've been waiting eternity to play this game.
Tried the Demo and I think I got my GOTY 2026 right away.
Combination of in-combat puzzles, shooting, Hal and Diana interactions, game feels alive, breathing, fun, unique, I just love it!

It feels so Remedy and I like it ❤️
Waiting for the release
December 10, 2025 at 9:46 PM
Each time I thinking about the puzzles for my game, I feel like I already saw one in some other game, even if it totally was born in my head and I find it unique, still that feeling persists.

YES!

Got sick of the terrible documentation on Steam and wrote my own on how to upload stuff.

yes, YES! Literally one of the most anticipated movies for me. Love the game, love what Mark is doing, pretty sure it'll be a banger!
Hope there'll be a trailer to lose my mind over while waiting. 'Cause watched teaser too many times.

The scariest enemy in horrors to me is a permanent monster that follows you: Alien in Isolation, Monster from Bunker, Mr X from RE2.
I hope there is no such thing in the Labyrinth of the Demon King. Right?.... right?

*Nuribotoke emerges*

Shit, Fuck, Damn, run! Run! RuN! RUUUUN!
