Sometimes I get pretty cinematic shots in Escape from Mandrillia (btw, just got out of Early Access, wink wink) like this infected Mandrillian bursting in a cloud of insectoid parasites right in front of that dramatically lit room

Nice!
With Crumb I've always been surprised by his serious stuff like the one about Kafka's life and the straight-up full adaptation of Genesis
Another I always recommend is Alberto Breccias' PERRAMUS (who also did a tiny adaptation of the OG eternaut)

Me realizing all of today's recordings for the 1.0 release trailer are on the wrong bitrate and look like crappy crusty bodycam footage
Ah well. We'll get em next time

Testing Mandrillian Bot behavior when VR player is cloaked -they know I'm nearby (just opened the door) and sniff around, doing some light blind attacks. Once I get out and close the door, they assume I'm on the other side, slam against the door, then reroute to find me. Very happy about this!

That ending was a good organic way to test this one achievement tho

Testing the FPV spectator camera for Escape from Mandrillia (centered on player's head instead of one eye, wider FoV than VR mirror, slight filter for jitter/stabilization)
Good for more action-centered modes like this one (and yes, I died in the most embarrassing way)

Finally added the second extra zone (Waste Disposal) to the game.

Years ago I made this proof of concept for the PERFECT VR headset. They called me crazy then, well, NOT SO CRAZY NOW AM I

When gamedevs have to make an elevator for a climactic section of their game, they just enter a trance and once they're out of it the Akira elevator has just materialized. It's a well-known phenomenon

Me to myself: "it's bad form to tryhard your own game's leaderboards, it can discourage players"

Wanted to take advantage of VR interactivity and have some cool "maintenance" mechanics for the drone (controlled by a friend on the "flat" PC side). Didn't need to whip the fire extinguisher out for this one at least!
Escape from Mandrillia's coop mode is already available- steam.pm/app/1936360

My concept art skills are, dare I say, quite exquisite
From sketch to full update in roughly a month! Escape from Mandrillia finally has a fully-fledged coop mode. You can also grab it at 40% sale for Steam's Couch Coop Fest!

Últimamente hacer cualquier cosa en internet se siente un poco así
Aunque la verdad es que a lo tonto ya casi las reconozco automáticamente; parece que los humanos seguimos siendo buenos reconociendo patrones tanto en dibujos, fotos, comentarios, artículos, avatares...

Hello again! I'm finally making the jump here and I'm so happy to see #HorrorFriday has arrived too!
I've been making Escape from Mandrillia, a local asymmetric VRvsPC horror game where your friends can play as giant alien apes hunting you. Currently at the final stretch of Early Access on Steam!

Little Escape from Mandrillia clip, showing how the Insectoid enemies react to flashlights. The good thing about this is that you can use glowsticks to lure them away from you!

Hi! I'm a Spanish 3D artist who's been fiddling with local VR concept (same computer, player on headset, player(s) on flat screen) for years. Currently finishing up Escape from Mandrillia, where I bring that concept to the horror genre.

A spooky little animation Ioop I made many Halloweens ago.
"The Tin Men", reverse-cyborgs that implant themselves with organics. If they only had a heart...
Fun fact! Their models would end up being the base for the player character in Escape from Mandrillia!

Well, let's try this out lol
I'm developing a game (very close to get out of Early Access!)
It combines VR and "flat" gameplay; full horror for the VR player, hunted by the PC player(s). It has giant alien Mandrills!
You can get it on Steam at steam.pm/app/1936360
