Interesting that @larianstudios.com posts a job for a junior sound designer requiring a full AAA cycle experience.
That goes against the trend I have observed of promoting people early, as a sort of compensation instead of proper career support or salary increase.

Im at the beach and I found the idea for my next game:
You play as a seagull terrorising beach goers, circling over their heads, stealing food.
Who wants to do it?
Having to fire people because of lack of funding after several years of development feels like there's something wrong in way we are making games now.
I'd love to see these smaller studios take risks in putting bolder games out faster.
I wonder what makes a successful branch out: Embark and Neon White obviously did some right.
All these companies where founded by super talented and successful people that managed to attract talent and funding.
I live in Stockholm and I have been following very closely the explosion of the smaller studios branching out from Dice, Avalanche, Machine Games...
Now Cult of the North is closing down after reaching pre-alpha, Fall Damage crashed, Liquid Swords (my previous employer) downsized dramatically.
Gameplay Trailer of COBRA STRIKE is up!

That’s a true give away of French nationality. That and eating half a loaf of bred on your way back from the bakery
Ive been working on this game on my free time for 3 years. The first 6 months were amazing.
Comparing a build from then and now it feels I barely made any progress.
The concept hasn’t changed much, I can still picture it and play it perfectly in my head, but slow progress is really tough.
I wouldn’t recommend moving in just yet, the neighbourhood is pretty empty
Outline!
Really dig the mood !
I'm really not one for extraction shooters but #arcraiders is making it really hard to resist, the mood, the sounds and visuals, it's quite amazing what they have accomplished so far.
Hit me up if you are looking for a squad!
Starting a new job this week…

Yesterday we shared some exterior shots of some of the dwellings you'll find in our open-world Tandar level.
As promised, here's a peek inside a few of these cabins for a peek at the interior we've detailing done so far. Check it out!

Catching up on the history of Arrowhead with this great interview, I still don’t understand why the company was about to be bankrupt after releasing the first helldivers
I actually grabbed a bunch of textures from Poly Haven just to move forward.
Learning how to work materials in Blender and have that transferred correctly to a UE material was also a challenge.
I needed a win this week, so I bridged what I considered the biggest gap toward my game and imported some modular pieces and started to build in Unreal.

real nice looking test level there!
I see what you mean, it makes things easier to read that. In that particular case the project that I am working on dictates what I need to learn so there's no way around that massive learning curve for me.
I'm going to be honest here I'm struggling going forward with my attempt at 3D modelling.
The texture and material part is a massive hurtle right now.
Here's the current stage and the reference I am going for.

Such a beautiful art style, and such a mood!
This is what I'd like to aim for on my game set in Brazil, if any artist out there wants to team up!
#indiegamedev #blender #ue5
this is just beautiful
Next up is sound design for the door, and also some UI prompt on the button interaction.
In addition I will randomise the button location in the room on each spawn.
Messy showcase of the concept I am working on, with the latest feature:
button-door opening logic is in place
#ScreenshotSaturday #devlog #ue5 #indiegamedev
So what is the goal with that ui? Is it a point and click mechanic?
Quick update for readability; I've added some sort of portaling VFX when you respawn at the start of the room.
Bugs and asserts are piling up as I'm moving forward with features though, I need to address the ghost's rotation and aiming to make sure it works as intended.

oui ca j'avais compris, mais c'est cool que vous ayez les versions physique, j'imagine que ca fait parti du trip!
Ça tourne sur les consoles d origine? Ou des émulateurs?
