Heavenly Father - a concept design for a monster in my current game project about an abandoned ghost town.

Please tell me what you think of it so far, any details you think I should add or change?

Working on some concept art for a monster design.

I think I like the left design better. The hand covering the eyes of the second head being attached to a walking limb allows for a bizarre walk-cycle animation that I think would be interesting.

Got to see a rare sighting of a fox at my day job today. They came running on up at the end of my shift and hung around for a while.

Several cultures believe this to be a sign of good luck and protection! :D

Growing up, I always dreamed about making my own #SilentHill game. I loved the backstories, town history, lore, and exploration of the town so much.

It may not be Silent Hill, but Lakeshire is definitely heavily inspired by it.

I want to see what you're working on right now. Whatever you can show. Repost or respond.

Here's a little bit of this background scene for the handdrawn videogame we're working on. Added quick color to test it in Unity with character and NPC assets. Exciting steps!

Hello!

I'm Michael, the man behind DreamchaserGames.

Game dev became a dream of mine back in grade school after I got addicted to level editors in games. I'm also a hobbyist writer, artist, and music producer.

I've now released 2 horror games and am working on my third.

We put a LOT of very good things on our website, especially here in GDC week. Here's one of them, with just a delicious, spicy lil quote about shitty execs from one Tarn Adams www.gamedeveloper.com/business/tar...
Tarn Adams decries industry layoffs mandated by 'horrible, greedy people'
The Dwarf Fortress co-creator was very (and somewhat vulgarly) clear on how he feels about executives behind studio layoffs.

I like making up fictional ghost towns and writing out their fictional history, notable residents, crimes, events, and more. That's a part of making my new game that I'm really enjoying.

In my newest project, it's the entire town itself that is the main character, not the player.

The town of Lakeshire was founded shortly after the creation of Lake Sakakawea. This lake town was once a vibrant hub for fishing enthusiasts with a modest number of permanent residents by the 1990s. Unfortunately, the town now lies abandoned.

So, I apparently forgot my earbuds in one of my pants pockets the other day. Found them in the dryer this morning after running laundry last night.

That's how I be sometimes, I guess. That's how I be with my ADHD. Lol

I've been on a massive Deftones, Nine Inch Nails, Gary Numan, and Garbage binge lately. They are all just fucking magic I swear to God.

I don't think I'll ever get enough of their discographies.

Hey, let’s get an intros thread for all of the game devs here! Tell us about yourself, your studio, and/or your current projects! 👾♥️

I need some good Indie Horror devs and gamers to interface with on here. If you're one of them, let's like... do that social media thing where we follow each other or something, maybe? 🤔

Oh hey, I exist here now. Cool!

And nothing's on fire yet! That's a good sign! XD
