Bringing you experiences as often as you can find Astatine.

Currently working on TERMINAL WONDERLAND, an atmospheric cyber-horror-exploration game.

This account, which has previously been used for the mod Halfquake Rebirth, has been rebranded into Astatine Entertainment's main Twitter handle.

Rest assured, I'm still here.

Consumable Items:
Batteries and Healthkits

You might wonder why there's a need for such things in an exploration game. The answer is really simple. You know it in your heart.

I'll restart my Screenshot Saturdays tomorrow with a video showcasing the interaction system. I used to make those a while ago, but have since stopped because I had nothing to share.

@90sGraphics Interactability got autocorrected...

[Astatine Entertainment @AstatineEnt]

I added object "highlights" to the game to add more intractability to the world. They display object names and short descriptions, but it also supports longer ones.

Very much inspired by @90sGraphics.

[Astatine Entertainment @AstatineEnt]

The only issue with this implementation is that it doesn't handle small objects very well. I'll need to change it a bit.

Certain areas within the TERMINAL WONDERLAND are made to resemble abandoned vintage office buildings.
I had quite a lot of fun making them.

If TERMINAL WONDERLAND does well, I'll also release one!

[PERIPETEIA out in Early Access @90sGraphics]

During Kickstarter we promised a boxed edition of Peripeteia. Many crowdfunded games never get there. We will, at 1.0.
And given the news lately: maybe we open it to non-backers. Would you want one?
Also: back up your media. Bitrot is real. Preserving what you own is your right.

Office buildings aren't the end-all-be-all of TW.
There'll be several segments of the game where the player will emerge into almost alien looking environment. Here, for example, we have a massive open space covered up in fog.

I've once experimented with using hostile architecture and nuclear semantics to make players feel out of place, unwanted, and to feel like they are where they shouldn't be.

I'll definitely continue using this idea later on.

Going home for a pseudo-vacation between exams. Will return with Terminal Wonderland goodies in a week.

This account has been rebranded, and will now serve as the Twitter account for Halfquake Rebirth.

[Astatine Entertainment @AstatineEnt]

Although HQR is no longer developed, I still hold it in a special place in my heart as the project that showed me that I can, and I did.

Out of thousands of mods. Mine was 6th. I'm eternally grateful for peoples' belief in me and I hope I can surpass expectations with TW.

[Astatine Entertainment @AstatineEnt]

We're proud to announce that HALFQUAKE REBIRTH has gotten 6th place in MOTY 2021 - Players Choice for upcoming mods!

Though this is an "organization" ergo non-personal account, I will still be tweeting in first person and using it as though it was simply my own.

[Astatine Entertainment @AstatineEnt]

@CloudlessStudio Oh by all means. Music is the color of the scene if you will. Without it, things are simply... bland.

[Astatine Entertainment @AstatineEnt]

@RedPixelSun_SFW Do you use gridmap with this, or are you arranging it manually? I've attempted to use gridmap in the past and I was rather dissapointed.
