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.

Cooking up a loading screen!

Lore.

Humanity needs to settle down and eat some fruit.

Where my Radiohead fans at?

I fixed a ragdoll bug in Cryptica and I already miss the chaotic body flailing it had every time the character died.

Four images that sparked my game idea.

I’ve managed to accomplish -1.5% on my game development progress this week. I accidentally broke my ice texture across the board. My game is set in Antarctica so you can understand the gravity of such a screw up. Anddd that’s gamedev, so it goes!

Progress on my game so far this week 0.02% Hoping to get some good development time this weekend, it’ll be too cold to do anything else!

Pretty soon AI is going to start sampling “art” that’s made by itself and it’ll become a slush of information that feeds off its own mediocrity.

What’s beyond this gate? Maybe you are better off not knowing… #screenshotsaturday #cryptica #UE5 #gamedev

I’ve set the weather to bright and sunny at this area while I work on it. It’s way too creepy to be vibing in for too long. #UE5 #indiedev

#WishlistWednesday I’m working on a cosmic horror adventure game set in Antarctica. store.steampowered.com/app/2886380/...

Really dreading this part!

No Trespassing #screenshotsaturday

So this is a music video I made years ago that I’m so damn proud of. Psychedelic Country music is a thing and it’s beautiful. youtu.be/6gBV-Nzq7Pg?...

This week’s Sunday Scary Screenshot brought to you by Cryptica! Wishlist here store.steampowered.com/app/2886380/...

Decided to finally make a game design document. It’s super helpful to set a projects scope as early as possible. Don’t let it just be amorphous ideas trapped in your head for too long! (I wish I did this a year ago)

My game is set in Antarctica so that just means I gotta learn how to do snow displacement in Unreal Engine. Won’t stop until I figure this out.

I make games mostly but I dabble with photography and videography too.

Today I spent 2 hours animating in UE5 then 1 hour editing the footage, all for a 12 second video clip 99% of gamers will probably never find. I do it all for the lore.

Best bring a book!

“Hast thou not made thy sacrifice to Sol?”

So after about 2 hours of fantastic progress on a massive rabbit hole of a side quest in Cryptica, my GPU crashed out. 100+unsaved changes. 😮 However, today I made something that is way better and even progressed further in less time, so let’s call it a “happy little GPU accident” 🙌🏻

Found some video game maps I drew when I was in 5th grade. I guess making video games has been a long term goal for me for a while now…

I’m hiding images in the sound design in my game. Sometimes these are the only way to solve puzzles. (All puzzles are optional and very…cryptic.) Wishlist Cryptica here store.steampowered.com/app/2886380/...

Going outside.
