Teaser trailer for my next project, SIDE HUSTLE! Hope you like it! #indiehorror #horrorgame #indiedev #solodev #unrealengine #trailer #teasertrailer #wip #showcase #sidehustle

Prototyped a new companion for our Bird Watching Horror Game #IndieGame #HorrorGame #Birdwatching #GameDev #Horror #Godot

Studio Carota becomes Studio Ortica. We rebranded ourselves! Ortica in Italian means nettle. It stings a little, like the kind of games we want to make: thought-provoking, stimulating, and a little shocking! #indiedev #indiestudio #gamedevs #gameindustry #loanshark #studioortica #gamedev

We just released a FREE UPDATE with small fixes and NEW ENDINGS with a NEW CHARACTER! Play it and cast your feedback rod at us. store.steampowered.com/news/app/375... #IndieGame #HorrorGame #Thalassophobia #GameDev #Horror #Godot

Trying to keep up with everything surrounding our game's launch feels like

🌊 Loan Shark — OUT NOW 🌊 A short psychological horror about thalassophobia and drowning in debt. Play now, link in BIO! #IndieGame #HorrorGame #Thalassophobia #GameDev #Horror #Godot

After preparing for Loan Shark's launch, today we're back working on our next game's prototype. Bird watching horror! #godot #gamedev #indie #horrorgame #indiehorror #birdwatching

Our psychological horror game comes out this friday! Curator reviews are starting to come in (letsfuckingo) #godot #gamedev #indie #horrorgame #indiehorror

We had the pleasure of being interviewed by Francesco Toniolo — university lecturer, essayist, and leading voice in Italian game culture. This was our first interview as a studio! 🎮🇮🇹 www.youtube.com/watch?v=TE_M... #gamedev #indiedev #videogames #interview

Our first game Dark Reality got delisted from @itch.io as well. No real explicit content. Just an artistic exploration of violence, sexuality and toxic masculinity. Thanks to Visa & Mastercard for dictating what’s "acceptable art." #gamedev #indiedev

I've looked & I could have missed it, maybe its saved in their drafts but @ukieofficial.bsky.social TIGA, BFI, that new video game council. Which UK body representing games is stepping up to publicly speak about the mass censorship of the cultural form they represent? www.polygon.com/news/615910/...

SHIATH demo is coming next week! Ready to get a peak at the end of the world? #gamedev #indiehorror #indiegame #indiedev #solodev #horrorgame #unrealengine

Crazy how things can look good with just a shader and a volumetric. A quick screenshot from our next game's prototype! #godot #gamedev #indie #horrorgame #indiehorror #birdwatching #prototype

The fish now moves his mouth when talking! A small but satisfying improvement :p #godot #gamedev #indie #horrorgame #indiehorror

If we look at this bird too insistently, it will freeze our computers for 5 seconds then disappear. #godot #gamedev #indie #horrorgame #indiehorror #birdwatching #prototype #jojo #jotarokujo #JoJosBizarreAdventure #HiroikoAraki #StardustCrusaders

SHIATH protoype, about 3 months ago, no post process, no nothing, just cubes and a shotgun (that you couldn't aim)! #SHIATH #indiegames #indiehorror #indiedev #unrealengine #protoype

Today we started the prototype for our next horror game, the theme is Bird Watching :^) #godot #gamedev #indie #horrorgame #indiehorror #birdwatching #prototype
