Even with Wed off we still played so many games! SO to the devs for letting me play demos and updates! @harrowedworld.com - Goblin Runt - @forsakerdingding.bsky.social - @casting-whispers.bsky.social - Outlier - @ouchgivergames.bsky.social - Onyx Feather Studios - Murder Who - Salt Game Studio

Congratulations to the team of Silence Hill F for one million units sold globally! When making Casting Whispers, I wanted to capture a similar kind of thick atmosphere and emotional unease. It's great to see them doing so well! x.com/silenthill_j... #silenthill #silenthillf

The first substantial Demo update is now live! I've improved a variety of things that players wanted (quality of life improvements, clarity improvements, performance, bugs) and now it is live! Here are the patch notes: store.steampowered.com/news/app/240...

I hope you don't have a slow creeping feeling of claustrophobia. That would be a shame. #indiegame #indiedev #horror #lovecraftian

I've been partnering with the same artist (no AI) who did the logo seen around the game to get in the achievement art and it's been very exciting to see it coming together! Here's a taste! #indiegame #gamedev #wishlistwednesday

It's been very fun to collaborate with Greg from How 2 Drink He plays a couple characters in the full game! The game has a secret easter egg related to this video of his. I'm excited to see who catches it after launch! youtu.be/G6HYXGhk7MM?... #indiegame #indiedev #horror

If you've played the demo, I'd love to hear about it! I've already been making various improvements based on player experiences! For example: The padlock and the gas valve were hard to see. So I made them easier to spot. #indiegame #indiedev #horror #demo

I'm very excited to announce that the Casting Whispers DEMO is available to play on Steam! Step into a cosmic horror mystery in 1961 as Victoria, shut your eyes and listen for the thing in the shadows, as reality itself becomes fluid! #indiegame #indiedev #horror #wishlistwednesday

I've been working on getting more unexpected side encounters put in the game. For example: This bar is empty and abandoned until late into the night. The music is strange and nonsensical but also identifiably music. (No AI used, artists paid.) #indiegame #indiedev #horror #horrorgame

"Make it exist first, make it good later." - This is a popular dev mantra. I have my own nuanced takes on this, but ultimately I agree with it. #indiegame #indiedev #horrorgame #horror

I'm thrilled to share that I will be launching the Casting Whispers DEMO on September 17th! This is a very exciting step! Navigate the twisting hallucinations as you use the Listen mechanic to solve mysteries and survive! #indiegames #indiedev #horrorgame #lovecraftian

The indie psychological horror game I'm making and a few of the inspirations behind it! #indiegame #indiedev #horror #psychologicalhorror

In my horror game, your eyes lie to you. You must use your ears to help tell what is real and what is *the entity.* You survive by closing your eyes and grounding your senses, as the world morphs around you. Link in the comments! #WishlistWednesday #horrorgames #horror #lovecraftian #retro

Water in the lungs is a bad time. Especially under duress. But sometimes the senses are lying. #horror #lovecraftian

Casting Whispers uses no AI at all. The pictures of Jay and her husband? These are family photos from the cast. Real people, accurate to the period, with permission from the family. Wishlist on Steam! store.steampowered.com/app/2406880/...

I personally LOVE thunderstorms and I wanted to capture the cold hard flicker of lightning. But accessibility is a critical point for me, so- Strobe Lightning can be disabled at any time, and asked when launching a new game! Available to wishlist on steam! store.steampowered.com/app/2406880/...

Casting Whispers features many moments where Victoria doubts her senses and reality isn't what it seems. With these, I gave myself an important rule: "If possible, do not take control away from the player." Most of the time it is happening while in full control of Victoria, not in a cutscene.

Private Beta Update! Huge thank you to the playtesters that have been playing and reporting! Here are some stats so far: - 8 Critical Bugs FIXED! - 5 substantial performance improvements made in key areas! - Over a dozen small bugs and player experience improvements made!

CASTING WHISPERS Private Beta Playtest has begun! This last week, I launched the private beta test, reaching out to supporters and members of the community to playtest and help make the game better! Wishlist now and join the discord! store.steampowered.com/app/2406880/...

Last weekend, composer Ed Lima went to Stage One Audio in Laguna Hills to record Kim Levin playing violin live for the main theme of Casting Whispers! Some of the gear we recorded on was from the 60s/70s; we wanted to get as close to our 1961 game as feasible. Huge thanks to everyone involved!

I'm very excited to announce Casting Whispers! This indie psychological horror game set in 1961 will have you using both sight and sound to unravel a sinister secret under your nose! Announcement Trailer: youtu.be/9W0V3teUWIs?... Wishlist on steam now! store.steampowered.com/app/2406880/...

Very excited to be announcing my debut project soon! 😀
