Almost at 2k new followers! Here’s what I’m cooking up! First teaser trailer for Cryptica, my cosmic horror walking sim. #indiedev #gamedev #horrorgame

I've been locked out of Bluesky for months, but I'm back with a trailer this time.

This site blows.

Eh? Eh? Eh?

New UAP videos drop at 8am and I’ve got a recreation of it in my video game by 11. Wishlist my game plz. store.steampowered.com/app/2886380/...

Destroyed the top version in favor of the bottom design. No regrets.

I’ve been making unique non jump scare moments in every public bathroom in my game. Let me tell ya the possibilities are endless. 2/4 ✅ 🚻 Still on the fence on whether this is scope creep or just business as usual. Either way I’m having fun. 🚽🧻

Me like light cookie. 🍪

New underground Tram system is a go!

Iykyk

The in game screenshot, the photoshopped image, the implementation of the asset into the game world. Feels good.

Did I need to impulse buy a 70mm IMAX frame from Oppenheimer? No. Do I regret it, also no. The goosebumps of seeing this scene in IMAX the first time is a high that’s very hard to find. youtu.be/hlos8imBu7E?...

They may seem enigmatic upon first inspection, but these structures all have/had purpose. Enough exploration and you’ll figure it out.

Need help choosing an Icon for “Interdimensional Cryptid”

Hipster type shit.

I have no idea who 99% of my followers are on here and I’m pretty sure they don’t know who I am either. If you see this, who are you? How did you find me?

I made a logo for my video game “studio” (it’s just me)

These are the UI icons in Cryptica. These are all vectors I cropped from various 17th-19th century lithographs. 1. Interact 2. Use Orrery 3. Take Planet 4. Save Game 5. View Found Footage 6. Unlock 7. Take Footage 8. Pay & Pray 9. Ingest Fungi 10. Use Item

My game dev process. Find ancient public domain lithograph drawings. GIMP it, and voilà! I now have a dope selector icon for my games main menu. #gamedev

I feel like RE9 is game of the year for me already. Not sure I’m excited about anything else on the horizon at the moment.

New Steam Capsule Art ✅ Revised Entire Game UI ✅ Grabbed a screenshot ✅ Productive Saturday so far

Did I just recreate an entire 3D scene in game with 1800s era props just to take one screenshot and photoshop it to look old and put it in a framed picture inside the game itself? Yes. Lore! What is it good for?!

This is where I indie dev.

“Found Footage” | 1890 - South Pole Wishlist Cryptica here store.steampowered.com/app/2886380/...

This found footage clip is pure nightmare fuel. One of the many film reels players can find in Cryptica.

Cozy?

TÖLT IS GOING WELL

The Ningen is a rare humanoid cryptid which is said to reside in the oceans around Antartica. You can find this creature in my game if you look hard enough…

Real game developers know…

Submechanophobia

Anamorphic lens flares in my indie game. ✅

New gameplay footage from Cryptica! #Screenshotsaturday #indiedev #horrorgame

Literally got locked out of my twitter account today right when have edited a snippet of gameplay footage from Cryptica to showcase. Guess it’ll be a Bluesky exclusive! #gamedev #indiedev

Still working on my indie game. The grind never stops.

“The Canines of Cryptica” Must put dogs into all my video games. It’s a personal rule I must always abide by.

Old game dev set up vs new

The secret planetary bunkers are scattered all across the desolate lands of Antarctica. There are 10 in total. If you manage to unlock them, macabre horrors await. (These are all optional side quests)

Fired up my PC and Unreal Engine for the first time since I moved today. Marginal progress was made on Cryptica.

Put in my 2 weeks notice at my video editing job and after that it’s full force/full time game development!

I’m creating an in game book in my video game. Pages will be scattered around Antarctica for players to discover and decipher. This is on steam for wishlists. store.steampowered.com/app/2886380/...

A reference image and the current implementation in game. Megalophobia inducing landscapes are my specialty. #gamedev #indiedev #cryptica

Photos you can find scattered around in Cryptica.

My game has choices to make.

I’m Still Here Trying to buy and close on a house has kept any cool game development stuff to the wayside.
