I was approved for steamworks, which is great, but now I have the not-so great daunting task of creating the steam page for my game among all the other stuff.

Updated my weapon system to support custom fields that can be added per item (i.e Mag Size, Maximum, # Pellets etc.), that can also be used or shared by other items themselves. Also each weapon now have a unique camera shake + INV smoothing #screenshotsaturday #indiedev #gamedev

Rigging/Skinning models is the one thing I’m completely talentless at doing. I can do everything else to varying degrees, but this one is a total loss. Makes it super frustrating whenever it’s my goal for the day.

Updated the audio for my first enemy type to be more dynamic depending on chasing or not + slightly updated design among other things. Also gave them arms and then tested what happens when I give them a ranged weapon. #screenshotsaturday #indiedev #indiegame

Tried Nomad Sculpt (and sculpting in general really) for the first time. Guess I figured out what I’m using for the next 2 enemy types in my game.

Modelled a Sledgehammer. Other than a few messed up normals, it actually doesn't look half bad.

Added a brand new Sledgehammer weapon with 2 attacks, and created weapon table destructible objects that are used in some puzzles currently. #screenshotsaturday #indiedev #indiegame

Had another Bat Houdini itself into my room again last night. With the amount of critters I’ve dealt with the past 4-5 years, I think I might be a magnet.

Had a friend blind playtest an early version of my demo. Got lots of feedback, have a few things to fix, but overall I was really happy since a lot of things played out exactly how I was hoping they would. Puzzles, hints, exploration, leading players eyes etc. Nothing too obvious

I’ve been working on my game so much to the point that I haven’t played any games for about the past 2-3 weeks. I completely forgot about the DOA4 event…

Updated the sounds of my first enemy to be more scary(?) and unnerving. Think it fits pretty well. Now I just need to add polish to them like blood splatters on hit. #indiedev #indiegame

After watching a couple feedback sessions, I decided to Implement a new Hint Prompt system that can display hints for anything, including after objective completions, entering certain triggers, or even picking up items. #screenshotsaturday #indiedev #indiegame

Currently working on the final encounter for the demo (later in full game). Still working on the boss and can't show it yet, but I did make a new Maggot enemy. Also updated weapons a bit, and have set up audio volumes to be more immersive. #screenshotsaturday #indiedev #indiegame

I’ve been trying to optimize my game as much as possible without upscalers in mind, but I decided to add DLSS to my game today to have it as an option, and the fps has been reduced by 35-50% (yes, reduced), even after it is completely turned off and every option disabled. What?
