When I gushed about the game to my girlfriend, she mentioned it would be exactly the game I would like to make too. And yes it reminds me a lot of #Odium, but made with skill.
In my wildest dreams I couldn't image creating a game this good.
[1.1.0] First Update after the Jam - Quatsch Quartett - Pingu to the Rescue
d3f4c3r.itch.io/quatsch-quar...
First new Feature implemented, also migrated to #UnrealEngine 5.7.
Other then #Odium I intend to create a new release every time a major feature is ready.

#Odium - The Sad Realm of the Stars
Pure 90s Norway — cold, synthetic, cosmic. The sound of starlight over frozen ground.

List of tasks for Quatsch Quartett -Children clings to player when found -Random position of children -Enemy despawns when getting caught -Skill changes when finding the children -Music based on enemy pursuit
Need a break from the grim dark setting of #Odium, always wanted to refine #QuatschQuartett my first GameJam game.
Already got some ideas:

This game really displays some duality in my interests
I created another trailer for #Odium. This time no screen captures, only #UnrealEngine renders. Pretty proud how the music turned out. Only possible with great package provided by Ovani Sounds.

For the promotion I created two YouTube videos. And working on two more. It is some nice distraction. Something different, but by far not my favourite #SoloDev thing.

Screenshot of Odium. In the Centers in Red Letters: hopeless beneath more text The pain and hopelessness were always companions for you. One of your earliest memories are related to them. There were multiple attempts to fight them. And after so many years without feeling them you were sure you won. Being wrong never felt so bad.
Running a stable build so far. Small Adjustments on the Damage System. Also small changes for some Textures and balancing. All comes together.
Only issue is, with another level the Size of the Game is already by over 7.5 GB 😭

A foggy Screenshot of Odium. The Main Color is red, with a blue lightning circle. A Stone Pillar in the front. A floating Golem in the Back. The Level Exit behind it
Something is coming!
Very close to release of the second level. Already one working shipping Build. Found some issue during QA. So time for the final Sprint.

#Aversja #Odium nowość na rynku, są tak dobrzy jak debiut #Closterkeller tylko grają ciężej i mają bardziej filozoficzne teksty, zawojują rynek ...
Needing over a year to release a level of #Odium started to make me think of reducing my work hours of my day job and focusing more on #GameDev. Getting less money to work on a hobby where I made 5$ in over 400 hours…
Some advertisement:
You can get #Odium here d3f4c3r.itch.io/odium complete free.
A first person story driven game based on my experience with depression.
Still in development and very close to a another major update
Chart of Downloads from itch.io Two spikes beginning 2025 and mid of 2025 are marked with white lines. The are at max 5 downloads a day, couple of days in a row Another spike end of 2025 goes up over 20 a day for at least 2 days
Haven’t checked my d3f4c3r.itch.io page in a while (wasn’t really helpful for my Mental health). Did it yesterday and was shocked of the spike of download of both Quatsch Quartett and #Odium
Don’t know why.
The white line marks both releases.
#GameDev #SoloDev #IndiDev
I love #UnrealEngine. Again spend couple of hours try to package the new #Odium release.
I had “registered” some Metasounds for faster Load times during development… it prevented the build to work…
Still not done, but at least progress

So #Cosmere Sky, what do we think of Taravangian as a villain? What are our thoughts of him?
I'm on Day Two of Wind and Truth and my opinion slightly shifted after I-2.

got the quatsch quartett back together, those little rascals! the game felt really trippy somehow: the combination of over-the-top AAA graphics and a somewhat jenky/unpolished gameplay and the goofy narrative created a weird feeling of disconnect that was somehow... strangely engaging? using graphical assets of a quality that outshines your coding abilities usually spells catastrophy, but you kind of make it work. it was probably thanks to kacki that little turd.
Not only did I release the first level of #Odium I nearly finished the second one.
Also I partook in my first GameJam. And was overwhelmed with the positive feedback. With the best one attached.
I mean this year #Anno117 and #Avowed were released. Small wonder I found any time to develop
The torture and torment has been awful and beyond cruel and unusual. This whole hate campaign has been unconstitutional! #BlameROTC #USAA #HollywoodETERA #OfficeOfThePresidency #Unconstitutional #HateCampaign #Odium
Why am I still hated by every self-loathing #jalapeñojew like #NataliePortman?! #HollywoodETERA #odium
For the first time in nearly 3 months I opened #UnrealEngine editor to work on #Odium, time for QA and finalising the second level. Took only a couple of minutes to find a broken animation… of course.
The experience paid off and it wasn’t as hard to fix as I initially thought.

For those wondering… if there are any …
The decision was made another Anno game was started. Every free time is now filled with planning and building.
So very likely no #Odium update until November. Very confident the hiatus will improve the quality of the development.
New week and now the question arises: starting another #Anno1800 round before the sequel or going full on #Gamedev and work on #Odium?
Little more then a month left until i need to be off for while.
Decisions decisions…
When I created the first cutscene for #Odium I only moved a camera, try to mimic head movement and avoid looking at angles where a body should be. Now working on the second one I animate a #Metahuman Due to First person still have a lot of possibilities to cut corners.
Looking forward to share
Main routes are established for the second level of #Odium. Even though there is a lot of stuff missing it is time to play test. And I hate it. Testing my own games is just a date with imposter syndrome and regretting what I did in the past.

Found first nullptr in under 30 min #UE5
What ever I estimate, I should double it - #Odium d3f4c3r.itch.io/odium/devlog...
Still working hard on the second Level. #ADHD doesn't help a lot. Find a lot of rabbit holes to lose track.
2.5 out of 4 routes are now done. Takes waaaaay longer then anticipated.

Garbage Collection in Unreal Engine was one of my hardest boss battle for the initial reales of #Odium. Really curious about the presentation.
Screenshot of Odium in Unreal Engine Editor. Unusual for the Game you see the dreamer from behind. She stands in front of some vines, which blocks her way. behind the vines you can see a building and some torches on Stone Pillars. The Building is below the Dreamer
Finally got some drive back to work on #Odium. Last couple of weeks wasn't really as planned, but the Forest starts to become the hellish environment it is meant to be. #ADHD be like work on everything a little bit. At least one ending riddle is finished.

Did finally some writing for #Odium today. Even though I love writing, today it was especially hard. Not only did it focus the game on #depression and #SelfHarm, but writing for a game is very different to writing short stories. Having different paths makes it way harder.
