Technical Designer by day, Solo Indie Game Developer by night.

Currently working on Night and the City, a noir, detective RPG.
Working on elevators this week and some camera stuff. There is a day/night cycle which will play a part in the game. Also most buildings have accessible rooftops - you never know who you might find up there. #screenshotsaturday #indiegame #indiedev #madewithunity #NOIR

Added some UI for telephone calls - now you can see who answers the phone. #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #screenshotsaturday #NOIR

Nick can save some shoe leather by making phone calls to many location in the city. It's also useful for checking in with his secretary to see if there have been any new developments. #screenshotsaturday #indiegame #NOIR #detective #gamedev

Last few weeks I've been trying to improve the character animations - something I've been putting off due to how much work is required and not knowing how to do it. But now I'm using Spine (great tool!) things seem a bit less daunting. #screenshotsaturday #rpg #indiegame #gamedev #noir #detective

It's important for Nick to keep abreast of events in the city so getting the daily newspaper, The Rockville Tribune, is essential. #screenshotsaturday #rpg #indiedev #indiegame #detective #noir #gamedev #noir

High Perception will allow Nick to scrutinize people and spot any signs they may not be telling the truth. #screenshotsaturday #indiegame #gamedev #indiegame #rpg #noir #detective

Think I've settled on the name Rockville for the city. Rockville has a day/night cycle and I'm trying to keep a good contrast between indoor and outdoor scenes while still making them feel connected. #indiegame #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #noir

This week I've been working on prohibited areas. Often, Nick will have to go places he's not wanted - how he gets there is up to the player. #screenshotsaturday #indiegame #gamedev

Short video update for #screenshotsaturday. Working on UI and conversation system lately. I want conversations to be short and snappy back and forths, sentences rather than screeds of text. People are busy and and if you try their patience they'll likely just walk away! #indiegame #gamedev #noir
