You got it! I just finished shooting some of the live action footage for the Giallo section last weekend and it was so much fun!

U.K. residents, could this be your chance to stop paypro censorship in the country? Please sign this petition

Petition
Ban payment processors stopping services based on objections to legal content
Government should legislate that payment processing companies may not place stipulations on use of their services regarding sales of otherwise legal content and, if they do so, must face legal penalties and must remunerate platforms and individuals for lost income until service is restored.

Dead Format Demo now on Itch!
A first-person survival horror game with live action film clips.
It's a love letter to different eras of horror films and inspired by a time of horror censorship in the UK (unfortunately this feels oddly relevant again today).

I try to get an hour or two of mad scientist time in each week to experiment with some weird idea.

This week it's a pint glass full of water with a hydrophonic microphone inside a broken speaker cab and dragging rubber mallets on the side to make some weird creature sounds!

I'll be attending Glasgow Indie Games Fest on the 9th of August and have Daemonologie playable there!

Feel free to come over, play the game and chat some horror!

Good thinking, I think you're probably right, I just try to avoid editing them too much or find other ways to store the data.

Ran into the issue as well but unfortunately never found a solution.

Thanks! No plans for VO on this project, some live action videos but it's all friends and family.

Wow you nailed that Alien Resurrection look, well done! Definitely picking this one up

Dead Format (formerly known as Video Ghastlies) is shaping up nicely.

🔊All sounds effects are handmade by @katanalevy.bsky.social who even went to his brother's work to record sound samples.

Environment sound design is one of my favourite aspects of game development! I recorded these sfx of machinery at my brother's work and love layering up the environment with sounds like painting with colours from a palette.

Yeah they switched engines really early in development I think and everywhere seems to still be misreporting UE5.

I agree it does look absolutely superb tho! Not surprising considering how insanely good looking the original is for GZDoom.

It's funny how many people complain about it and it's actually built on Unity, not Unreal.
