I'm working on a game based on H.P. Lovecraft's short story.

It will be relatively short experience made in PS1 style and fixed cameras, main goal is to practice in UE5, 3D modelling and level design before I'll do my own original game.

Since it's for practice, game will be free.

Watched several short horrors yesterday. If you like body horror and stop motion-I can’t recommend you Robert Morgan’s movies enough!
Found this short horror movie “The Cat with Hands” that I watched 15 years ago. And it’s still creepy AF.
But, I also discovered that director of this movie Robert Morgan made many short horrors since then and even feature film!
Holy shit I’m jumping into it!

Planning rest of this month and next month in advance, cause I noticed that if it’s not planned I’ll forget something like 100%. One can’t plan everything of course, so it’s more like milestones and important dates/events.

Need to stop buying new courses and actually finish all the courses that I already have

Reading “All Tomorrows”
Creepy stuff, but I kinda want to model some of the creatures from this book.

Happy New Year!

New Year’s resolutions:
• 1 game release
• 2-3 animated short horrors

Ok, sounds easy, let’s go!

Such a strange feeling drawing the structure of the animals, seeing it from the inside. A little creepy even.

While on a vacation, jumped into creature design course.
I love drawing creatures, but figured out that I really lack experience and theory on it, so
For now studying different real creatures starting from the most common that I literally see every day - human. Using Procreate.

I noticed that Thumper is on sale now and instantly bought it.
Played it on Apple arcade on the iPad with gamepad a year or two ago and now coming back feels so good.

It's literally THE BEST most responsive rhythm game ever made.
If you like rhythm games and haven't played it, JUST DO IT, DO IT NOW

Wrapping up work before the Holiday, so I play rarely, but played Hungry Knight, it was interesting to see the origin of the Hollow Knight.
While my gf killed Nightmare King Grimm, holy shit.

I’m a happy owner of a stream deck now!
I used its software for more than 2 years I believe with my smartphone as a deck. It’s doing all routine tasks for me.
Repeatable tasks like export, some renders, pieces of code to reuse, indexing textures, backup files etc. Each takes just 1 button to do.

I've been waiting eternity to play this game.
Tried the Demo and I think I got my GOTY 2026 right away.
Combination of in-combat puzzles, shooting, Hal and Diana interactions, game feels alive, breathing, fun, unique, I just love it!

Each time I thinking about the puzzles for my game, I feel like I already saw one in some other game, even if it totally was born in my head and I find it unique, still that feeling persists.

YES!

Got sick of the terrible documentation on Steam and wrote my own on how to upload stuff.

The scariest enemy in horrors to me is a permanent monster that follows you: Alien in Isolation, Monster from Bunker, Mr X from RE2.
I hope there is no such thing in the Labyrinth of the Demon King. Right?.... right?

Shit, Fuck, Damn, run! Run! RuN! RUUUUN!

Playing Labyrinth of the Demon King
The game kicks my ass af and I like it.
It's pretty much samurai survival horror with a great art direction. Cool world where you don't know what to expect after each turn.
