@NR_Cemetery Зрабіў такі лакалізацыю на мову :D
Гэта заняло больш часу, чым планаваў. Дзякуй зімовай дэпрэсіі 🫡

Damn, this attempt to make enemies push back turned out buggy!

[Mords ⚙️ Game Dev -TRYING TO RIGHT PAST WRONGS- @modredcastleton]

Katsuhiro Otomo's "Steamboy" inspired a lot of my work on Cloudscape - something I'll be talking about a lot more in the future.

I'm gradually coming out of my funk... Meanwhile, we have a new lockpicking mechanic! #screenshot_saturday #indiegame #indiegames #horror #madewithunity

New one - on the left 👀

I decided to draw new zombies that wouldn't look so fragile, despite their ability to survive multiple shots...

And I ended up with Vasily the Janitor 🤔

Me: I need to sketch out a large location with branching quest paths, complete with a plot.

Meanwhile, also me: I MUST TO TO MAKE A MACHINE GUN!!!

@NR_Cemetery Заказ зразумеў! Я зараз спрабую зрабіць рэальнае дэма, з квэстамі, складанымі лакацыямі і іншымі элементамі сурвайвл хорару.
Прыкладна тады беларуская мова таксама з'явіцца 😉

It turned out the problem was with how the code made enemies move. Once I rewrote the movement mechanics, everything worked!

The beginning of the year was pretty tough for me in terms of development.
The biggest progress, however, was in optimizing locations, improving monster behavior, and weapon functionality.

I also added a pipe as a melee weapon... I had to, it's a survival horror game, after all

New #screenshot_saturday !

Who needs a knife when you have a good old lead pipe!

@CollinHarsin @indiegameiacs Next, the player faces two different factions, mutants and cyborgs. The content for their interaction is completely unprepared. But at a minimum, the environment will convey that they are at odds. Is this important enough to be mentioned as a separate feature? I'm not sure

[Shadow Pulse the game @ShadowPulseGame]

@CollinHarsin @indiegameiacs For example, in the story, the game's protagonist gets half his head chopped off at the beginning. He's resurrected using an unknown biological substance, and this is the plot trigger. This could be important. But I don't know how to even describe it in the game description 🤔

[Shadow Pulse the game @ShadowPulseGame]

@CollinHarsin @indiegameiacs Should I go on and on about how this is a classic survival horror game, but in 2.5D, and list all the typical survival horror features? I don't know. I think a good trailer and gifs should convey this (mine don't, but that's a separate issue of lack of content)

[Shadow Pulse the game @ShadowPulseGame]

@CollinHarsin @indiegameiacs In fact, I'm not sure what I should focus on in my case.
Previous versions of the game description were full of lore, and that worked against me. Now I'm trying to make something more gameplay-related, but I don't understand what's particularly important

[Shadow Pulse the game @ShadowPulseGame]

@doomspoons I'd prefer a rat burger 😂

[Shadow Pulse the game @ShadowPulseGame]

@studionemo_de Damn this thing disgusting...
I already love it! 😃

[Shadow Pulse the game @ShadowPulseGame]

One of the reference points for monsters in my game 😃
