The in game screenshot, the photoshopped image, the implementation of the asset into the game world.

Feels good.

Did I need to impulse buy a 70mm IMAX frame from Oppenheimer?

No.

Do I regret it, also no.

The goosebumps of seeing this scene in IMAX the first time is a high that’s very hard to find.

They may seem enigmatic upon first inspection, but these structures all have/had purpose. Enough exploration and you’ll figure it out.

Need help choosing an Icon for “Interdimensional Cryptid”

Hipster type shit.

Oh yes I know you! I get the x and this confused where everyone landed haha.

Haha yes, this is true! Glad to hear it!

I have no idea who 99% of my followers are on here and I’m pretty sure they don’t know who I am either.

If you see this, who are you? How did you find me?

I made a logo for my video game “studio” (it’s just me)

These are the UI icons in Cryptica.

These are all vectors I cropped from various 17th-19th century lithographs.

1. Interact
2. Use Orrery
3. Take Planet
4. Save Game
5. View Found Footage
6. Unlock
7. Take Footage
8. Pay & Pray
9. Ingest Fungi
10. Use Item

As I was cropping the hand out noticing the fine details, I was having that exact thought.

My game dev process. Find ancient public domain lithograph drawings. GIMP it, and voilà!

I now have a dope selector icon for my games main menu.

#gamedev

I feel like RE9 is game of the year for me already. Not sure I’m excited about anything else on the horizon at the moment.

New Steam Capsule Art ✅
Revised Entire Game UI ✅
Grabbed a screenshot ✅

Productive Saturday so far

Did I just recreate an entire 3D scene in game with 1800s era props just to take one screenshot and photoshop it to look old and put it in a framed picture inside the game itself?

Yes.

Lore! What is it good for?!

It is not maintained whatsoever this was just day zero on the setup haha. It made me wanna clean up seeing it again.

This is where I indie dev.

Thanks! Hell of a way to wake up!

“Found Footage” | 1890 - South Pole

Wishlist Cryptica here

This found footage clip is pure nightmare fuel. One of the many film reels players can find in Cryptica.

Cryptica on Steam Cryptica is a narrative-based psychological horror game where the apocalypse is just the beginning. Explore the enigmatic lands of Antarctica and its surrounding areas while the world ends.

With the country falling apart, it’s hard to get stoked about a video game I’m developing. Advertising this shit feels like cognitive dissonance and it is.

Anyways got my UI looking clean af and you should wishlist this before the world ends.

Let’s go!!!

I have key art/props that i commissioned but most of it is various modular stuff from market place all mixed together.

Cozy?

A low-poly cop character with the dialogue "i've wanted to shoot people ever since i was a baby"

TÖLT IS GOING WELL

You can record as mp4 videos but it’s limited to 1080, and yes WebM files are the absolute worst. NLEs hate them.

These are some art assets I made for my game, “Cryptica” I photoshopped in game screenshots to look like old photographs, and I reimport in as a framed photograph in a level somewhere. Lots of work, hopefully people appreciate it haha

The Ningen is a rare humanoid cryptid which is said to reside in the oceans around Antartica. You can find this creature in my game if you look hard enough…

I felt this so specifically, it hurt.
