Currently working on my first game ‘Mayfly’, an atmospheric quiet horror game set entirely on a narrowboat

Lancashire, UK
Amazing game too, I’ll have a go on 2 once I’ve done with 1. If my memory serves the ice (Sweden) rallies are brutally hard 😵 - may be CMR1 tho.

Also TOCA + TOCA 2. Another series that lived up to my expectations. Maybe it’s just a racing game thing 🤔

Just finished reading. I’m really happy to hear about your new tree, hopefully it lasts another 26 years - have a lovely Christmas 🎄

I’m 2/3 the way to a finished game I think. I need to take a step back and finally get a trailer together so I can launch my Steam page. Can’t wait to hear your thoughts when the time comes 🫣 - hopefully launched around June/July

I think you might have a good point there indeed - thank you

I really hope you like it and I look forward to seeing what you think when Mayfly is released

Thank you so much for the feedback. ‘Quiet horror’ is in and of itself a sub-genre of horror (I don’t know til recently) - perhaps it needs to be in quotations to emphasise this point? 🤔

I agree that without this distinction it could sound clumsily worded

I get the impression you just want to smash things up (alarm clock, cupboard doors etc) - your live stream is going to be interesting 😆

You’re a horror connoisseur now. 😇
