Did you know that we post about work in progress tidbits on our Steam page? Be sure to check out the latest post about various mechanics shaping the enemy behavior in SeverLink 👇 store.steampowered.com/news/app/328... #indiegame #gamedev #stealth

Tools of the Trade :: Shocker An incredibly effective non-lethal option for those who wish to infiltrate corporate headquarters without unnecessary victims. However, the spare cartridges are difficult to find in the field. #screenshotsaturday #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #lowpoly

Tools of the Trade :: FINN A popular submachine gun in the year 20XX, presented alongside the Mindhunter brand of 5.7×28mm cartridges, courtesy of GN arms manufacturing corporation. #screenshotsaturday #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #lowpoly

Meet the Mall Guard The rent-a-cop - bread and butter (mostly bread) of the small-time corporate security across the world. Not incredibly effective... but at least they're cheap! #screenshotsaturday #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #lowpoly

This is partially why in @severlink.bsky.social we're doing these somewhat grounded mundane environments

What I appreciate about the early 2000s games is how many of them were set in a contemporary setting, working with the then-present day environments I feel like (though I don't have the numbers) today the settings are heavily skewed towards space sci-fi and fantasy

Meet The Heavy Members of the OGRE units, armed with their trusted FINN submachine guns, are sometimes deployed by VIGIL Security Group to missions that don't actually require such excessive force. #screenshotsaturday #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #lowpoly

whatever you call this art style - PS2 era medium-poly characters with hand-made highly detailed but also somewhat blurry textures with baked-in lighting - I absolutely love it and it makes me want to drop everything and make games

Meet the PMC The goons of VIGIL Security Group fiercely protect the corporate interests in the year 20XX #screenshotsaturday #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #lowpoly

SeverLink Tech Tips You’ll be able to use these Y2K inspired computers in our game #screenshotsaturday #indiedev #gamedev #UI

You are not prepared for what's coming at 00:30

Our game (SeverLink) and 3 references

FOBOS - the top operating system in the world of SeverLink The players will be using it a lot during the game, and we wanted to make sure the experience would work for both keyboard and gamepad. The login screen alone was an interesting challenge! #screenshotsaturday #indiedev #gamedev #UI

Following our game announcement, let's look back at the viral tweet that started it all. Back in 2023, SeverLink was just an idea, born out of an aesthetic inspired by Y2K early 2000s games. #indiedev #gamedev #screenshotsaturday #indiegame

“PS2風”ステルスアクション『SeverLink』正式発表。『スプリンターセル』などの影響受ける、“2000年で止まった世界”での潜入ミッション automaton-media.com/articles/new...

A quick shout-out for the recently-retitled SeverLink (formerly Project Kvasir), a very promising looking PS2/PSP-styled stealth game in the works. It really does look like a game from that era running through emulation. 'Looks like a PS2 game' [Positive] energy in a big way.

We are SeverLink: - STEALTH into secured sites, get in & out unnoticed - ACT when things go sideways - INTERACT with environment to turn the odds in your favor -INVESTIGATE corp secrets that are swept under the carpet 🔊👉WISHLIST: store.steampowered.com/app/3285390/Project_KVASIR/

Entering 2026, with a new name announcement coming soon! #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiedev #stealth #lowpoly

Gaudy wallpaper ✅ Wood paneling ✅ Unnecessarily big fish tank ✅ Big window with a nice view ✅ Our last #screenshotsaturday of 2025 #gamedev #indiedev #stealth #lowpoly

The year is 20XX The world of KVASIR isn't as straightforward as you might think. #gamedev #indiedev #screenshotsaturday #stealth #lowpoly

Good evening, New York! The world outside the windows of Big Katch HQ is expanding #gamedev #indiedev #screenshotsaturday #stealth #lowpoly

We want to get the quality of our lighting just right. Besides, shadow stealth doesn't have to happen in pitch black darkness! #gamedev #indiedev #screenshotsaturday #stealth

Oink 🐖 We're dedicated to adding numerous entertaining objects that the players can use to distract enemies with #gamedev #indiedev #screenshotsaturday #stealth

Interactive computers are in! WIP of our in-game operating system called FOBOS. These machines are going to be one of the primary ways of digging for dirty corporate secrets during missions. Shoutout to @sanitytek for the work! #gamedev #indiedev #screenshotsaturday #stealth

Searching for that Y2K feel Updating the UI designs for the Front End. The main goal of this iteration is to streamline the layout and elements, create designs for various scenarios and make the overall look more consistent. #gamedev #indiedev #screenshotsaturday #stealth

Project Kvasir spotted 👀

Looking for some tips: Does anyone have experience with NavLinkCustomComponent? We’re trying to make AI use doors (locked / unlocked) and have encountered some issues. Suggestions appreciated!

Sneaking through the corporate structure #gamedev #indiedev #screenshotsaturday #stealth

Takedowns and Body Carrying The basics are coming together and The Infiltrator has the ability to take down and hide neutralized opponents. A lot of work went into matching and syncing the states of various actors and it's great to see it in action! #gamedev #indiedev #screenshotsaturday #stealth

Our dear friends at Spooky Doorway are releasing a game soon. So go check out The Séance of Blake Manor demo, it's very good!

More Before / After from the demo level. It's so interesting to look at the progress compared to 6 months ago - some areas stay pretty much the same since the blockout, but others transform hugely, depending on gameplay and aesthetic needs #gamedev #indiedev #screenshotsaturday #stealth

Increasingly thinking this might be the game about how to dismantle the Torment Nexus

One of our other social media accounts got broken into by some crypto-scammers. We've addressed the accident, but for the sake of clarity - we are NOT supporting and will NOT support or promote crypto-currency or other scams.

Added trigger volumes that allow us to transition into first person when entering vents and other narrow spaces …should we add headcrabs next? #gamedev #indiedev #screenshotsaturday #stealth

When you think nobody's watching... 🔊Sound On #screenshotsaturday #indiedev #gamedev #unrealengine

Testing the new cover system #gamedev #indiedev #screenshotsaturday #stealth

Working hard on making sure NPCs can reason about and dynamically select beneficial vantage points during combat, using Unreal's EQS #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiedev #stealthgame #indiegame

"...and I'll look down and whisper 'No." Slowly but surely the demo level is coming together - this garden area is being crafted with the help of Scythe, Unreal's landscaping tools and external tree meshes #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiedev #stealthgame #indiegame

We have projectiles now. #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiedev #stealthgame #indiegame

Is this really an immersive sim if you don't have bathrooms? Slowly but surely we're populating the game with various different interactions and scenes for the player to discover. #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiedev #stealthgame #indiegame

The Infiltrator gets an updated look! We've polished up the player model to be on par with the other NPCs. The idea is to make the other skins available for selection in the full release (with additional looks available later). #indiedev #screenshotsaturday #stealth

Just make it exist first, you can make it good later An evolution of the Big Katch office lobby, featured in the first mission. It started its life as a Blender sketch, and was then recreated in Unreal (with the help of Scythe) #indiedev #screenshotsaturday #stealth

Doing research on how to best clutter office spaces in our game. Hit us up with you favorite example (game or actual office). #indiegame #gamedev #stealth

Finally we have mechanics for tasering someone in the balls.

Our game features non-lethal stun gun, where takedown speed depends on the target and hit location. A headshot instantly stuns most enemies except heavies. A torso hit stuns weaker guards with a delay, while masked guy wears a vest & won’t be stunned at all #indiedev #screenshotsaturday #stealth

For a stealth game it's incredibly important to introduce NPC reactivity. In this case the guard notices that the door has been opened, when it should've been closed. We're working on more objects that the players can interact with! #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiedev #stealthgame #indiegame
