Happy to announce the next cast member for The Skin Stapler @lunaarcana.bsky.social. She will be running an occult-themed donut/coffee shop, "Arcana's Dark Roast & Dirty Holes." Luna has done art/voice acting for a couple of my games and always does an excellent job! #indiegame #indiegamedev #PSX

The Skin Stapler Demo has been one of the top games on Itchio for a couple of days now. I don't know if that means ANYTHING, but it's kinda neat, right?🤷 #indiegame #indiegamedev #itchio

In case you missed it, the Demo for The Skin Stapler is now live on both Steam and Itch! It's my ode to @puppetcombo.bsky.social and @leggomygiallo.bsky.social. They have made some of my absolute favorite games. #indiegame #indiegamedev #PSX Link for the game in the comments below ⬇️

I love this little melody from Zelda, it takes me back to childhood.

Final version of The Skin Stapler model, just in time for the demo release! #indiegame #indiegamedev #psx

Haven't posted one of these in a while. Complete time-lapse of making The Skin Stapler's staplegun. From modeling to texturing to the final in-game render. I love 3D modeling even though it's a very time-consuming part of game development. #indiegame #indiegamedev #PSX

Another playable character reveal for "The Skin Stapler." Scaroline, owner of Underworld VHS. A sleazy VHS rental store. Character and model based on @scarolinetv.bsky.social a trusted friend who has helped me immensely behind the scenes on my projects; she is a homie. #indiegamedev #indiegame #PSX

Early work on the interior design of "Gutter's End" bowling alley, the last section for the demo for "The Skin Stapler." Demo should be coming at the end of the month. #indiegamedev #indiegame #PSX

Does anyone know a good Italian plumber? @indiegamedev #indiegame #PSX

Does anyone else eat their hot dogs like this? #indiegamedev #indiegame #PSX

🗒️Dev Log #8 for "The Skin Stapler."🗒️ Final level design for "The Quick Fix" is finished. Here is a complete walk-through of the area. Next up is "Gutter's End" bowling alley's interior design. #indiegame #indiegamedev #PS

Just about finished with the interior level design for "The Quick Fix," a total shithole of a convenience store. 🤓 #indiegame #indiegamedev #PSX

2025 was a fantastic year for me. I made so many new friends, worked with some amazing and talented people, did a ton of traveling, and released my most successful game to date. I have big plans for Tainted Pact Games and my personal life in 2026. Thanks to everyone who took part in my journey.

Some screenshots of the exterior of "Gutters End" bowling alley. Along with the employee of Gutters End, Blair, beside her castle van. This will be one of the three locations in the demo for "The Skin Stapler." Really happy with how it turned out. #indiegame #indiegamedev #PSX

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you @hexyIRL and his jank wagon. 🤣 I was up til 5 am working on this hahaha #indiegame #IndieGameDev

Say hello to Elmer! #indiegame #indiegamedev

Welp, the interior design for the demo section of the grimy, run-down CCDP is finished! I'm really going for a trashy grindhouse aesthetic that makes the atmosphere feel filthy. Here is a walkthrough of the demo's area. #indiegame #indiegamedev #PSX #Retro

Got this in the mail today, just in time for Xmas! Looks great next to the Flesh Made Fear poster. Need to get the one for each of my games.

Some game devs will post a video of a really cool game mechanic or a very impactful scene from their game. I'm over here animating/rigging a cup of noods and a lil shrimp. 🤣 #indiegame #IndieGameDev

A quick look at some of the interior level design I've been working on for Carrion City's grimy, run-down, filthy Police Department. It's been a lot of fun fleshing it out. #indiegame #indiegamedev #PSX

After days of work, all the characters for the Carrion City police force are finished. Lots of late nights doing texture work, but I am happy with the results. Never trust a devious-looking redhead XD. #indiegame #indiegamedev #PSX

Caveman looking gamedev plays a little holiday music to get in the spirit. I hope everyone has a good holiday season, if you celebrate it. 🎉

🗒️Dev Log #7 for "The Skin Stapler."🗒️ Character design for police chief "Slade O'Brian." The double chin of justice. He’s loud, tired, and perpetually angry. His relationship with Detective Dick Slater is strained. But he knows Dick Slater is still the best cop he’s got. #indiegame #indiegamedev

The Daily Jank! #indiegames #IndieGameDev

🗒️Dev Log #6 for "The Skin Stapler."🗒️ Two things in this update 1. Character reveal - "Hexy", employee at The Quick Fix. 2. Final Level design for the Carrion City Police Department exterior. #indiegame #indiegamedev #PSX

Making up fictional product brands is one of my favorite things to do when texturing models—a perfect opportunity to add a little easter eggs. 🤓 #indiegame #indiegamedev #PSX

Learned how to build a really nice control rig for my police cruiser. It controls tire speed and turn rotation, steering wheel rotation, shocks, and doors. I know this is like INCREDIBLY nerdy and dorky, and no one cares. But it feels awesome learning new things. 🤓 #indiegame #indiegamedev #PSX

🗒️Dev Log #3 for "The Skin Stapler."🗒️ Two things in this update 1. Prototyping of the CCPD, a sleazy police station for an equally sleazy city. 2. Character reveal - "Blair", employee of Gutter's End Bowling Alley. Character, 3D model-based on @blairvira.bsky.social #indiegame #indiegamedev #PSX

I've decided to document the development process of "The Skin Stapler" in short-form 1-3 minute dev logs. So I can share my creative process. Here is the first one, an early prototype of a location called "The Quick Fix." #indiegame #IndieGameDev #PSX

Early environmental testing for "The Skin Stapler" with a look at a few of the character models. Testing the atmosphere with a light block-out, fog, rain, lut, and post-processing effects. I think it's where I want to be to proceed with level designing. 🤘🤓 #indiegame #indiegamedev #PSX #Lowpoly

Another character reveal for "The Skin Stapler," Rookie Robbie Knox. He is Detective Dick Slater's new partner, who is eager to prove himself almost to a fault. He is smart, but his inexperience could be his downfall. 💀 #Indiegame #indiegamedev #PSX #lowpoly

I'm really excited to share this. My friend Daniel and I worked really hard on the menu music for "The Skin Stapler," my next game. I really wanted to mix my horrorsynth style with his shredding guitar, and together we made that absolute banger of a track. Hope you enjoy 🤘 #indiegamedev #synthwave

More low-poly PSX-style asset creation for my next project while listening to snowfall on loop XD. I really enjoy this style from modelling to texturing to material set-up and in-engine rendering, it's all just very appealing to me. #indiegamedev #indiegame #PSX #lowpoly

Had a really nice chat with Hurc, aka @horrorvisuals.com, about game dev. He is genuinely an awesome guy with a massive passion for indie horror. Can't thank him enough for checking out my games and having me. #indiegamedev #FleshMadeFear

Introducing Detective Dick Slater, one of the main protagonists of "The Skin Stapler." An 80s comedy horror slasher drenched in gore and satire. Detective Dick is a run-down old workhorse who is fighting to track down The Skin Stapler before he strikes again. 🤓 #indiegame #indiegamedev #PSX

A timelapse of a PSX model I made today for an upcoming project. It's my process from start to finish, from modelling to texturing to material setup in the engine. A lot of the stuff I made for Flesh Made Fear was made this very same way. Cheers to being creative. #indiegame #indiegamedev #PSX

My final, revamped design for "The Skin Stapler." I really like how it came out and have some cool ideas for a short game, straight slasher-fueled comedy horror. A little mini project before I start my next major one. #indiegame #indiegamedev #PSX

So awesome and humbling to see so many people making videos, shorts, posting vods, and speedruns for Flesh Made Fear. Thanks to everyone who has checked out or is planning on checking out my games. Ya'll rock🤘 #indiegamedev #indiegame #FleshMadeFear
