I wish I actually played games more often, but always find myself developing Confronted instead.
I know this might be envious to some! But there are so many great games coming out I wish I had time to play, but it always feels more 'productive' designing mine!

One of the most intimidating aspects of working on a live Early Access game is making sure I DO NOT f*ck up the saved progression for players. I'd hate to accidentally break the game so returning players had to start over for example 🥵

Hey gamers! 👋
I've been developing Confronted for nearly 2 years.
Chapter 2 comes out later this year.
Any help to spread the word would be brilliant; repost, like, wishlist etc.
See the game here on Steam: shorturl.at/TW5f5

I find myself procrastinating most when it comes to 'writing' for @confrontedgame.bsky.social
Writing beat sheets, story, journals, VO...
But I can't stop whiteboxing & environment design!
What areas do you procrastinate most in, #solodev #indiedev ? If at all?!

It takes me around 1 to 1.5 years to create an hour of content for @confrontedgame.bsky.social, as a solo dev.
If I wanted to do a 35 hour game... do the maths 😂
That's why Confronted will be a solid 3hr experience by full release :)

When I dress a room in @confrontedgame.bsky.social I generally think, "Is this screenshot worthy?"
If the answer is "Yes!" it's usually a good place to leave it and move on.

Fun fact! The most compared game to @confrontedgame.bsky.social is Amnesia: The Dark Descent! Fun fact 2: I didn't play much of the game! 😲

I think one piece of advice I have for aspiring solo/game devs:
Be prepared to play your game THOUSANDS of times. Perhaps get a role in QA just to embrace the repetition. Or just replay a game loads as if it was a job. Still got the motivation?

Getting the voice actors' lines into @Confrontedgame is fairly straightforward:
- I use REAPER (it's free!) to trim the lines.
- Add a compression if there's a peak that needs lowering.
- Render it out using 44.1khz, mono and 16 bit.
- Pop it into the game!

Just finished watching Baby Reindeer on @netflix.com
Absolutely beautiful, traumatic, engaging series. Highly recommended.

These are the type of scripts I send to Voice Actors in @confrontedgame.bsky.social. Context, intensity and emotion per line. Story notes where applicable. The more info the better, to reduce retakes.
