Worm Surgeon came in 25th for the jam! not bad considering there were some much more polished concepts ahead of it! Loved the feed back and responses I got and feel good I did well in the audio category. Working on a coming soon page should be up soon. #gamedev #gamejam #horrorgame

I’ve been thinking a lot about where horror is headed.
Smaller games are leaving bigger marks. Games as a medium is home to some of the scariest, most personal stories now.
I made a video about how indie horror is leading that shift: youtu.be/Emj180o9aLM
Happy Halloween 🎃

The beginning of the lower level of the mine is coming together. The initial start area after you descend in the elevator is pretty close. Obviously we need props and working items and things. #horrorgame #indiegamedev

got a bunch more of the grey box done today - will need to adjust some verticality and sculpt the cave walls next. Hiding spots, items, nav mesh and monster after that. #gamedev #blocktober

Here is a walk through of the first section of the game - without revealing the keys are. After sneaking into the mine you need to get the generator to work so you can take the elevator down into the mine. #screenshotsaturday #indiegamedev #horrorgame

I can't stop making a new scene with this new feature in #Voxy, user can easily generate sceneries with stacking different effect like heightmap or apply smooth. I am adding more functions.

A little progress on the horror game for #screenshotsaturday. The shadows are not really PS1 era but I am digging the vibe so far. Also I broke the item ui but getting there! #horrorgame #indiegamedev #unrealengine5
