I'm seriously considering *not* making a steam page for my game. Here's why- they take 30%, yes, but they also expose you to a wider audience. To me that is a problem. I want a smaller circle of people who followed development closely and understand my style and limitations. Thoughts? Indie release?

Eliza's all rigged up and ready to strike dramatic poses thanks to the very talented @detectonomicon.bsky.social
And incidentally, we are both open to commissions!

Probably don't try this in the real Kamogawa...
Look and feel test for this area inspired by memories of hanging out by the river in Kyoto.

Working with a great 3D artist to rig up a model for Eliza that doesn't need to be redrawn a million times- that means better and more animations in the long term!
Very happy with how it's shaping up so far thanks @detectonomicon.bsky.social

I guess this passes for the first real gameplay video from my game :D Collecting sticks and stones is a core mechanic in every survival game after all. I experimented a little with ambience and SFX here to build the atmosphere. Still very early WIP. #survival #indiedev #solodev #gamedev #goth

My gothic Bloodborne inspired tileset is available now on Patreon for use in your own projects, and I will be adding more to this tier soon- tinyurl.com/Pergamum2
For best use in #Crocotile3D but suitable for 2D as well.

My version of the brick trolls from central Yharnam is this evolved tardigrade. It's pretty much just chilling for now but I have animations for it... Maybe tomorrow! My work schedule changed again 😔

I lifted more than 3 tons of sand, scrubbed acres of filth, and smelled ungodly awful things at work this week. So for the next 24 hours, I will be playing Bloodborne and listening to H.P. Lovecraft audiobooks in a remote cabin with a cat on my lap.
Somehow it's all worth it.
