Doors can be locked by Keycard, when the Power is out in the Sector, or if when destroyed The Art & Sound is all new, and I think it communicates the mechanics pretty well! #GameDev #IndieDev #SoloDev #SurvivalHorror #FPS #HorrorGame #Unity11 Mar 2025 18:54 +0000at://did:plc:e7vuts4ljszy2t4bd7jwypdd/app.bsky.feed.post/3lk4qilcve22mhttps://bsky.app/profile/housetrapdev.itch.io/post/3ljztc6znlk2bGamedev is such an interesting topic to talk about, but I find it really difficult to make regular content on actually making progress. Does anyone have advice on how to cultivate an online presence without distracting from development? #GameDev #Devlogs #IndieDev #SoloDev #ContentCreation10 Mar 2025 15:06 +0000at://did:plc:e7vuts4ljszy2t4bd7jwypdd/app.bsky.feed.post/3ljztc6znlk2bhttps://bsky.app/profile/housetrapdev.itch.io/post/3ljzt4bhr6s2bFlashback to my FPS Platformer project The idea was to warp the design of Super Mario Bros into a bizarre horror shooter. I then discovered Doom The Golden Souls so I paused it for now. I still wanna flesh it out when I get a spare few weeks #GameDev #IndieDev #SoloDev #IndieGame #Platformer #FPS10 Mar 2025 15:02 +0000at://did:plc:e7vuts4ljszy2t4bd7jwypdd/app.bsky.feed.post/3ljzt4bhr6s2bhttps://bsky.app/profile/housetrapdev.itch.io/post/3lj2yeoacbc2zItem Shader & Pickup functions in place! Rough UI also added to show your held keys, looking at Classic Doom for reference. What you do think guys?

I'm working on Multiple games at once! Gory Groceries is a unique Arcade Survival Horror game where you need to do your daily grocery shopping amidst a Zombie Apocalypse.

It's so sick! I've been looking to achieve something very similar to this as a gore shader for a zombie game, but I can't figure out how to apply it with volumes in world space #Gamedev #SoloDev #Shaders #Graphics [contains quote post or other embedded content]19 Feb 2025 18:21 +0000at://did:plc:e7vuts4ljszy2t4bd7jwypdd/app.bsky.feed.post/3likfdfggpk2ahttps://bsky.app/profile/housetrapdev.itch.io/post/3likazblhrc2g1/5 Since my mind is on Level Design at the moment, I'd like to share some things that help me in my process.

It's already surprising how well it works as an interesting space to explore, even just as a flat untextured mesh #Gamedev #LevelDesign #SoloDev #SurvivalHorror19 Feb 2025 09:46 +0000at://did:plc:e7vuts4ljszy2t4bd7jwypdd/app.bsky.feed.post/3lijikbgvjs26https://bsky.app/profile/housetrapdev.itch.io/post/3ligsci6ibs2sFirst Greybox for Totally Not Alien™! I think I may have accidentally made something really horrifying here. I've physically jumped out of my seat twice already 🤣 Not knowing where enemies are is awful lmao What do you guys think? #SurvivalHorror #FPS #Alien #GameDev #IndieDev #SoloDev18 Feb 2025 08:02 +0000at://did:plc:e7vuts4ljszy2t4bd7jwypdd/app.bsky.feed.post/3ligsci6ibs2shttps://bsky.app/profile/housetrapdev.itch.io/post/3lifkolakqc2uQuestion for #GameDev and #IndieDev veterans - when is the best time to start #LevelDesign for a game? How many core systems & mechanics should be in place, and what state should they be in? This is something I've grappled with for years - always starting too early or late #SoloDev #GameDevelopment17 Feb 2025 20:13 +0000at://did:plc:e7vuts4ljszy2t4bd7jwypdd/app.bsky.feed.post/3lifkolakqc2uhttps://bsky.app/profile/housetrapdev.itch.io/post/3liezkic6x22eWhat are some Bluesky accounts I absolutely need to follow if I'm going to successfully market a #SurvivalHorror #IndieGame?
