Hey #PitchYaGame!

I'm making "Beaux-Arts," a surrealist horror game about being held prisoner by the residents of a countryside estate.

Try to convince the family to let you out alive while you admire the priceless artwork that adorns the walls of your prison.

Very happy for Beaux-Arts to be part of the @sixoneindie.com Showcase this weekend! Feel free to check it out alongside all sorts of other cool-looking indies.

And if you're interested, there's a public demo for Beaux-Arts that's coming (hopefully!) quite soon.

After a fair bit of work, I'm pleased by the unnecessary fanciness of the new reading system: 3D books! Animated pages! Dynamic book stacking!

It's been a while since I posted about Beaux-Arts, so here's a tour of the dining room for #screenshotsaturday.

You'll be able to interact with most of the artwork in this level to get a closer view and prompt a little dialogue about each one.

Doing some work on the basement area. This part is (loosely) inspired by Piranesi's Imaginary Prisons series:

I fought the law(s of physics), and the law won. =(

Wow, just in the past day a bunch of new people are following me. Not quite sure why, but welcome!

I'm currently making Beaux-Arts, a surrealist narrative-adventure game about being imprisoned in a countryside estate. If that sounds up your alley, then you can wishlist it on Steam!

Currently doing some visual touch-ups to the forest. The scene is running pretty well now that I finally have proper LODs on the trees.

For #screenshotsaturday this week, here's a time lapse of me trial-and-erroring my way to the current living room design in Beaux-Arts.

I finally replaced my old, slapdash inventory icons with less hideous alternatives. It's done a surprising amount to help me mentally recognize Beaux-Arts as an actual game, rather than just a janky Unity project.

I'm eternally grateful to museums that provide CC0 public domain scans of their holdings available online.

Beaux-Arts currently has ~80 paintings and lithographs, and that number will probably go up before I'm done.

Currently messing around with some fog effects. Early results are promising, though I'm still trying to figure out how to make/fake good-looking volumetric fog in Unity.

Kinda forgot that I created this account a few months back, so it's probably time to actually post something.

So: Hello! I'm currently working on Beaux-Arts, a surrealist horror game about being imprisoned in a countryside estate.
