Surreal Overflow

Tiny indie studio. Big dreams. Trying to break into the game dev world—one pixel at a time. 🎮✨

NPC just tired of the 500th QA test...

Small win of the week: Row Hard made it into Steam’s Choose Wisely Festival.
We chose to make a game about rowing and life choices. Not sure if it was wise, but here we are. 🚣‍♂️

When the player finds “a simple bug” and you don't know how to fix it...

Modeled five motorcycles for Dusty Contracts. Now I desperately want to delete them all and start from scratch… perfectionism is a curse.

God bless the AI creators for fast visual style concepting.

Tested a new prototype of our roguelite game today. It’s still ugly, but the mechanics work. Time for another iteration.

Brand new day. Time to figure out the protagonist’s actual motive.

Our programmer needs to step away for a couple of weeks.
It hits our tiny indie team, but people > deadlines. We’ll adjust and keep building.

Plan for today:

1. Make a Blender video for Insta
2. Continue learning 3D textures
3. Send a task to the Atomic Raid composer
4. Post on X

Last one is done.

Now I apparently have no time left for actual development. 😅

Thriller, suspense and pacing are my best friends this morning.
Good morning — I hope your coworkers aren’t as dark as mine today.

Atomic Raid is going to ChinaJoy 2025! 🇨🇳☢️
Our post-apocalyptic parking lots and angry mutants are heading to Shanghai.

Will anyone survive Level 1?
Unclear.
Are we excited?
Absolutely.

Global meltdown starts now. 💥

🤖 AI: assistant or job thief?
Some days, AI helps me fix code I stared at for 2 hours.
Other days, it makes me wonder if I'm training the thing that'll replace me. Maybe both are true.
How do you see it — tool, a threat, or something else?

Once, futurists dreamed.
Their designs weren’t about logic or fuel efficiency — they were about wonder.
Beauty. Flight.
Now the future feels… optimized.
Sharper edges. Duller colors.
When did we trade dreams for convenience?
