the start of chapter 2's boss. the model is there for scale, i'd like some ideas as the idea is that you fight him whilst in a broken train carriage and he's using a flying mech suit. is the camera okay? does this look alright? all wip ofc #indiegame #gamedev #cyberpunk #scifi #residentevil

I did something to try and help with my grief, the pain won't go away but I will try to honor his life. #optimusprime Rest in peace #PeterCullen. When I look to the stars I'll try to find you. Till all are one.

I know i've been posting this area a lot but I do want this to be a good set piece to be memorable for the train segment. #indiegame #gamedev #scifi #trains #cyberpunk #indiedev #residentevil inspired, #metalgearsolid inspired.

this is entirely for testing to see how the enemy feels to fight and how he looks. i think he's fun to fight and keeps you on your toes, this is where you 100% need to understand how to use the dodge mechanic. all WIP. #indiegame #gamedev #scifi #cyberpunk #residentevil inspired #metalgearsolid

WIP of the train VIP lounge area hmmm, might need a better Post process and better signage as you cannot see the stairs to the kitchen. #scifi #cyberpunk #90's #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #trains #residentevil inspired #metalgearsolid inspired.

A calming presence is felt, the rhythmic sounds of the train jostling on the tracks fill you with a false sense of security would you like to save? #indiegame #gamedev #indiedev #residentevil inspired #metalgearsolid inspired #cyberpunk #scifi

117lionhart @117lionhart.bsky.social · 23/08/2026

well here's the whole area so far, everything is naturally a wip but, anyone have any ideas to make this feel better? the train specifically. #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #cyberpunk #scifi #residentevil inspired #metalgearsolid inspired #trains

117lionhart @117lionhart.bsky.social · 23/08/2026

okay so, here's the first look at the inside of the military/public Atomic train. i wanna design this so some of it is for military use and crew whilst some is a bit more luxurious. does anyone have any idea how i should design some of the carriages here? #indiegame #gamedev #indiedev #scifi

117lionhart @117lionhart.bsky.social · 14/08/2026

thanks to some feedback, this looks a lot more perilous and interesting. i also managed to get all cutscenes for this area done today (2-3 days worth of work). #indiegame #gamedev #indiedev #scifi #cyberpunk #trains #metalgearsolid inspired, #residentevil inspired.

117lionhart @117lionhart.bsky.social · 09/08/2026

Can anyone think of something to add to make this more perilous and or more engaging? if not, i think this is done. #indiegame #gamedev #scifi #cyberpunk #residentevil inspired, #metalgearsolid inspired.

final look at this lighting, if you can't tell im super proud of how this room turned out, that little guy really helps the lighting feel alive. feel free to come up with head canons about the little guy. #indiegame #gamedev #indiedev #scifi #cyberpunk #aesthetic

117lionhart @117lionhart.bsky.social · 22/07/2026

does this look good? does this look fun and interesting and less jank? i've been focusing on trying to balance weapons, health, damage, sounds and overall polish for drones. #scifi #cyberpunk #residentevil inspired #metalgearsolid inspired, #indiegame #gamedev #indiedev

117lionhart @117lionhart.bsky.social · 15/07/2026

some images of how well chapter 2 is going. i do think sometimes the game does look good, sometimes it doesn't and i get very annoyed when it doesn't. #scifi #cyberpunk #indiegame #gamedev #indiedev #residentevil inspired #metalgearsolid inspired.

such a cramped garage, good thing the car is small enough to fit. really happy with how this came out. #indiegame #gamedev #scifi #cyberpunk #residentevil inspired #metalgearsolid inspired. #gameart

why is there an ethereal tree here? for what purpose? trevors railblade got snagged on it when it fell out of the chopper. how could something as precious as this tree survive the rotten city? #indiegame #gamedev #scifi #cyberpunk #residentevil inspired #metalgearsolid inspired.

new stuff. you can't just waltz into the mega building, that's too easy. you gotta turn the electrical floor panels off first! and no you can't sequence break it, made sure of that. #indiegame #gamedev #scifi #cyberpunk #residentevil inspired #metalgearsolid inspired
