Spent the holidays fine-tuning the camera system and I think it can finally do everything it needs to do. The different rotation and movement modes (and transitioning between them) almost drove me insane 🥲. #gamedev #indiedev #Unity #indiehorror

Currently experimenting with dynamic fixed cameras to nail the perfect staging for each corner of this scene 👀🎥. Especially the city environment makes it challenging to find angles that showcase the scenery and still work for good game design. #indiedev #gamedev #indiehorror

Fixed camera edge case #273: Added a mode where the camera gradually moves closer to the player when approaching a certain spot. #gamedev #indiehorror #unity

Tweaking camera angles for this scene right now 👀🎥 Balancing cinematic visuals with good player experience is always a fun challenge. #gamedev #indiegame #indiehorror

Here’s another quick and dirty night render of the city. This is the area where the story of the game will unfold. I’m currently working on a lot of things that don’t translate well into visuals, so I figured you might enjoy this screenshot. #indiedev #indiehorror #gamedev #indiegame

What if we kissed at "Bochka & Pivko"? 👉👈😳 #indiedev #gamedev #indiehorror

I needed a break from coding, so I finally decided to test how the game's main hub looks at night, since many story segments will happen during that time. Implementing this in Unity will mean quite a bit of extra work 🫣🫠. #indiedev #gamedev #Unity #indiehorror

you could say I'm somewhat of a 2D artist myself 😏 #madewithblender #b3d #indiegame #gamedev

Finally imported the mall building into Unity! Once the trees, bushes, and cars are in place, this city area will really start to feel alive 😊. #indiedev #gamedev #madewithunity #unity

Another location to explore in the game's main hub will be the "Gigantus" shopping mall. Various billboards as well as fake movie posters for the cinema will be added later. #indiedev #gamedev #WIPWednesday #madewithblender

Another rabbit hole was designing believable streets for cars and public transport. I spent way too long inventing fake bus and metro station names. Not everything will be noticed, but these small details help make the world feel authentic. #gamedev #indiedev #indiehorror

Doing some optimization work on this store building asset before importing it into Unity. General rule: it’s always (!) more work than you think. #gamedev #indiedev #unity #blender

A small glimpse at some concept art exploring the game’s various locations, characters, and key story moments. Big credit to @lilcthulhu.bsky.social for helping shape the world and its writing in the very early stages of development! #indiegame #conceptart #horrorgame #indiehorror

It’s basically a background prop, so most of its details will never be visible to any player. But I really enjoyed modeling this asset in Blender, so big shoutout to the Polyarneft gas station! #gamedev #indiedev #indiehorror #b3d

Most of the larger buildings are optimized and imported into Unity now. There's still a lot of ground-level detail work left to do! 🚧🏗️ #Unity3d #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame

One of the first things I built for my game was the camera system. I’ve always loved fixed angles in horror games, but I wanted more flexibility. Now the camera can do almost anything and adapts to each scene. Can’t wait to see it in action with real assets in Unity! #gamedev #indiedev #indiehorror

This will be one of the main locations from the game. Still missing lots of details like trees, cars, AC units, and dirt. Currently moving everything from Blender to Unity. #gamedev #indiedev #b3d #Unity

Just finished baking textures for all the background buildings in the main city hub. Making dense texture atlases is weirdly satisfying 😎. #WIPWednesday #indiedev #gamedev

An aerial view and a close-up from the main city hub of my indie horror game. Designing the signs and names for the fake stores was a lot of fun. #gamedev #indiedev #indiehorror

Currently optimizing one of the bigger scenes from my horror indie game for Unity. Building this city district from scratch as authentically as possible took a ton of research - and I’m really happy with how it’s all coming together. #indiedev #gamedev
