@fab Also - if you want to be part of this one, join the Northfall Games Discord..

Everyone who joins during the jam gets their name added somewhere in the game.

Credits, supporter wall, suspicious graffiti on a toilet door… depends what the assets give me.

Today is one of them days:

Low mood, in a lot of pain, feel like everything is pointless... Honestly feel like giving up 😔

When will life give me a break - just please 🙏 ...

[Northfall Games @NorthfallGame]

I'm now on TikTok.

Gameplay clips, dev logs, survival horror, Unreal Engine chaos, and probably a few bugs pretending to be features.

My ultimate goal with this game is actually really simple: I just want at least one person to play it and genuinely enjoy it. Not millions of downloads, just one person who has loves what I made. That would already mean the world to me🙏

@AftermathZGame @IGNUK @IGN @SilentHill Fantastic, I’d never get past the tutorial.

I’ve been on an NHS wait list for 2+ years with a bowel issue that randomly bleeds and keeps me in constant agony.

How long before NHS referral letters start getting sent to Silent Hill? 😅

I hate spiders with a vengeance.

Show me a house spider and I'll evacuate the building and potentially burn it down...

Show me a jumping spider and suddenly I'm its personal bodyguard. "Careful, little buddy, don't fall off that leaf." 🕷️😂

@JOE_INAINER I get that. Honestly, these 2-week game jams wouldn’t be possible for me without AI.

I use it to organise tasks, track the timeframe, see where I’m at, and stop scope creep. Without it, I’d probably still be stuck on the first game. 😅

[Northfall Games @NorthfallGame]

In a 2-week game jam, spending days making promo art means half the jam disappears into polishing pixels instead of building.

AI lets me move faster.

For proper key art or unique polished work, I’d hire/work with an artist. For throwaway promo art?

Ehhh. Tools are tools.

[Northfall Games @NorthfallGame]

@Toadzillart Creators have always used tools. Cameras, Photoshop, Canva, templates, plugins, engines, presets and yet somehow civilisation survived.

The disrespect isn’t using AI.
The disrespect is pretending workflow matters more than the final work.

[Northfall Games @NorthfallGame]

New @fab assets are here.

Sci-fi station. Grid inventory. Survival tools.

So now the dangerous question begins:

what can I turn this into for the 2-week game challenge?
Abandoned station repair sim? Salvage run? Space survival chaos?

Hmmm… 😅

[Northfall Games @NorthfallGame]

@JOE_INAINER Yeah, that’s pretty much where I’m at.

There are absolutely bad uses of AI, but the good uses get buried under the outrage.

For small creators, game jams, planning, coding help, placeholder art - it can genuinely help people do things they otherwise wouldn’t finish.

New @fab drop day.

Three new free assets are coming, which means it’s time to turn whatever chaos appears into another game.

I’ve done it twice now.

One was built in 4 days.
One actually turned out decent.
So naturally… we go again. 😅

Let’s see what today brings.

[Northfall Games @NorthfallGame]

@ToonSoulsGame From 18.4k followers to 18.1k - you've lost almost 4k followers and now being community noted for your scam.

Hopefully you get blocked soon

[Northfall Games @NorthfallGame]

Milestone unlocked.

Epic Account Services is now configured, linked, and published for Northfall Games.

Not the flashy side of game dev, but these are the systems that quietly make everything else possible.

Whatever you’re working on, no matter how difficult it feels, keep going. Keep learning, keep improving, and don’t lose sight of why you started. Even when the world feels heavy or progress feels slow, every step you take is still building something in you. Stay encouraged - it’s all shaping you for your own growth and benefit.

@pensing112 Thanks! - I wanted the devlog to be honest about the messy middle of making it, not just the finished result. The Blueprint crime scene was very real 😅

[Northfall Games @NorthfallGame]

New devlog is up:

The Last Safehouse - Learning Journey Log.

The 2-week jam is complete, the game is shipped, and this is an honest look at what I learned building it around real life, scope creep, messy Blueprints, and all.

@georgebsocial They’re not debug traces, they’re authenticity seasoning 😅

Okay, they are debug traces… checking if/when zombies can spawn.

[Northfall Games @NorthfallGame]

@BlueWavezStudio @BitrunnerDev @fab Give it a go,

Challenge yourself to build and ship something, can be anything.
