I'm making Ghost Scout, a horror game where you identify ghosts using various strange and mundane objects!

Use things like old film cameras, water guns, mirrors and dreamcatchers to see invisible ghosts!
Try the demo on Steam #horrorgame

Supernatural entity vs man with paint balloons

Usually I do research and find references but I wanted to just wing it with this one, it's a simple model and in my comfort zone :)

[Gradient Games @GradientIndie]

Completely winging it with this model, can you guess what it will be? Animation at the end #gamedev

[Gradient Games @GradientIndie]

Unfortunately the command seems to be kind of bugged in ue5 as the meshes outside definitely do cull, I have tested this numerous times after thinking something was wrong because of this command :-/

[Gradient Games @GradientIndie]

I think freezing mesh culling looks really interesting #gamedev

[Gradient Games @GradientIndie]

@magnum_o2 There is no simulation, just shader animations!

Also the monster will only tear through and kill you if you get too close :)

[Gradient Games @GradientIndie]

Finished this wall warping effect by making the monster tear through the wall! #gamedev

@bbnomula I'm convinced it's botted, and otherwise it's like 90% little kids.

I know I'm not the first to say this but I do worry what the long term consequences of consuming this garbage at a young age will be...

@STREALZ_ No just a simple subdivided plane with LODs, for my use case it wasn't really worth it to add tesselation

[Gradient Games @GradientIndie]

@levio1679 Fair enough, I'll try one of the other "ghost forms" this is one of the first ones so it's not supposed to be the absolute scariest :)

[Gradient Games @GradientIndie]

Identify ghosts using strange objects like water guns, alcohol and mirrors!

Check out my game if you're interested :)

@Meelsie143 Cool, I didn't know that.

I still think the first Watch_Dogs art direction looks great, even if AAA graphics are obviously better nowadays.

[Gradient Games @GradientIndie]

Would you rather identify ghosts using apple juice, a paint gun or breath mints? #ScreenshotSaturday

[Gradient Games @GradientIndie]

I just made the water translucent and used refraction to create the ripples in the "reflection"

[Gradient Games @GradientIndie]

Screen space reflections weren't looking good so I used the old "duplicate the reflected meshes" technique, looks great now! #horrorgame

[Gradient Games @GradientIndie]

Instead of scripted events the environment can be dynamically affected by the ghosts paranormal activity!

Like this knight armor that will fall apart piece by piece #gamedev

Ghost Scout: Identify invisible ghosts using strange objects. Find the Anchor without getting killed, reveal the ghosts true form and attempt to get out alive. https://t.co/DGLSawOFQc

[Gradient Games @GradientIndie]

I finished the wall warping effect! #horrorgame

[Gradient Games @GradientIndie]

So glad we won't have to worry about art direction anymore!

Thanks for being a leading force in the enslopification of video games, I'm sure the shareholders love it :D
