3 years ago, testing the blood system.

And the saying is still true: You can always have fun with a shotgun!

Lights are now tied to weapons!

Use the old lantern with the pistol or skull for a steady glow, even if you’ve got the pro flashlight.
Just swap to a one-handed weapon.

Also: new, beefier grenade explosions. 💥

Today I finally take a little break from fixing bugs.

I took the day to do a mock up of a well known map. I hope you can recognize it. :)))))

🎯 HOW AIMING WORKS 🎯

Left side I'm just showing weapon spread.

First shot is always accurate, then spread starts.
You can quite literally improve weapon range by crouching.

🎉Wunderbar! 🎉

Guys, we made him angry

In the 1st snow level, we find a member of the axis, hilariously voiced by Jackson Ashworth.

At the end of this conversation you can decide whether to kill him or let him go.

What do you do?

Nothing better then hearing Jake "The Voice" Parr's commentary after the Hobo kills one of his victims.

Jake wrote a lot of these. He also casted all other voice actors you hear in the clips! :D

Tomorrow I'll be at the indiedevday.bsky.social con in Barcelona with Dolores Entertainment, the console porter/publisher of the game.

For it, I made it so a video presentation of the game starts after a bit of idling. I'm probably keeping this in the game. :)

🎉TWO WEEKS🎉

Darkenstein 3D is a free to own retro shooter inspired by the greatest FPS of the 90s.

The levels evolve from Wolf 3D, to RtCW, to Enemy Territory, it features a funny story, and the gameplay is a killer.

Meaning, you will get killed! :D

📅OUT OCTOBER 21st!📅
