Emir Arkman 🩸 Play Hellkind!

Hey - I am a multidisciplinary designer and game developer based in UK.

Happy October everyone! 🖤 I recently played through Hellkind, a really cool horror game by @emirarkman.com! It’s short but it’s got a ton of atmosphere and a horrible (/complimentary) soundscape; you can either watch me play, or play it yourself for free on Itch & Steam! youtu.be/EoPlKf7h46s?...

New Friday the 13th trailer gave me depression. Why the hell you need to explain the supernatural stuff.. WTF are you doing to this franchise!?

New Gears trailer gave me chills. We are so back. I cannot wait!

Holy shit I really want to write some things about industry but cannot - maybe it's time to open another throwaway account.

We just announced a thing with friends at Maverick Games !

The game is dead. What am I supposed to do with all this Destiny knowledge now?

Hellkind BTS time! Once upon a time there was a pistol.. I’m glad that I’ve decided to cut it but never say never for the sequel.

I thought I had thick skin, but some comments about Hellkind still manage to get through and then just stay in my head forever.

I am in Leamington Spa, it’s 6pm on a Sunday and there is no single person outside. Such a weird place.

Do people still make / share starter packs here? I'd love to find new ones and be part of if I can!

I liked Halo Campaign Evolved but what the hell is happening with inconsistent + super low performance cutscenes and dumbed down enemy AI? The whole thing leaves a sour taste in the mouth really. It is really hard and exhausting to be a fan.

UK trains are amazing. Cold weather? Cancelled. Hot weather? Cancelled. Too much rain? Cancelled. For no reason? Cancelled. If not cancelled it is expensive, dirty and always delayed anyway so wtf is this honestly..

Even Double Fine is considering closing - what are we doing here even…

Video games are back

We have a new trailer! Let’s goo! youtu.be/4ZaP524jcy8?... #SummerGameFest

While it was under AGS my UR team supported Clutch and I’m super excited for Maverick getting to show it off!

Alien Isolation 2. That's all.

Welcome to CLUTCH 🟡

I know most of you are here because of my late-night solo dev works but here is what we’ve been up to lately :) www.youtube.com/watch?v=mnTa...

I am so upset that they are killing Destiny. At least shelving for a few years. Such a shame.

I respect Bungie big time because no other AAA leadership would approve that graphic design vision, iconography or font selection today. That kind of risk-taking is nearly gone. Talk is cheap in pre-pro, then graphic design gets safer and muddier. Thank you Bungie for being better.

Someone called Hellkind 'Skinamarink-like' and my job here is done. I will sleep happy today.

Hey I added a minesweeper to the game #indiegamedev #gamedev

Profit is paid in people. #indiegamedev #gamedev

It’s alive! #gamedev #indiegamedev

New Resident Evil teaser look good but yeah I'm curious about the connection to the IP.

Okay I had to delete the last post because of the incredible low quality (and the iOS overlay joke didn't land well). Will post again a decent one later. But yes - Marathon is definitely an ispiration!

FUCK YES

Marathon is a masterpiece and my GOTY. I haven't done any game dev on Deadstock since the release because all I do when I'm back home is playing Marathon.

I was watching a Hellkind gameplay and streamer said 'she does not know what to feel about the plot because game never told her what to feel about it'. It's like an uphill battle isn't it, what am I even doing here?

Oh no I missed all the dev conference deadlines 😭 If any conferences (wish I messaged Develop:Brighton in time) need a speaker, I’ve got a talk on shipping Hellkind + indie horror marketing ready to deploy and love to be part of it. I should send messages in advance next time.

Speakers should be removed from mobile phones since humanity clearly isn’t educated enough to be trusted with them.

I cannot believe numetal is back <3

Happy friday the 13th 🩸

As you can see again, no one cares about how you made the game or how impressive your code is. It is a product, and only thing matters is if the game is satisfying, is fun to play etc or not. Make the game with blueprints, with store assets.. no one cares - except twitter.

I don’t even allow myself to touch the prod, how come you guys skip permissions and allow agent to destroy everything - I cannot get my head around it.

Well... fuck. Time to lock editor version early for this project then.

I am in love with Marathon’s art direction.
