Autumn Sale has hit Steam, and Neyyah is now 50% off! store.steampowered.com/app/1289720/.... The scene I depicted showcases the Main Chambers building of the Pinorvia Point, a great example of how a real life location helped shape the many environments of Neyyah #screenshotsaturday #gameart

Studios I used when developing Neyyah. First: my 2018 studio in Mandurah, WA, where Neyyah began, moving onto my studio in Trimley St Mary, England, where a majority of Neyyah's work was made (including my side of music composition).(More below) #gamedevelopment #fulltimegamedev

Neyyah went through so many dramatic changes, not only in my personal life, but also throughout development ... Hardware changed, skills got better in Blender over time, and the Niyashka Pools boasts these dramatic evolutions in spades! #screenshotsaturday #GameDev #indiegames

Neyyah is an adventure game at its heart. Very deep down, exploration and the world design was always a priority in its design. With that comes some very interesting characters. Here are a couple of early pre-production pieces I put together ... #adventuregamefriday #fmv #gaming

While the real world influenced a majority of Neyyah, there were certain areas which required more outside thinking. I've always been a fan of dragons, and I knew they would play an inspiration ... More below ... #screenshotsaturday #adventuregame #gameart #gamedev #design

'In the name of Fezalta ...' Originally, Vamir was filmed in Neyyah to look as though he was literally in front of you, within the game scene. You appear out of nowhere, and he suddenly notices you ... This was later changed. Here's why! (below) #screenshotsaturday #gaming #actor

Neyyah changed a lot over the seven years that it was in developed. A lot of locations were redesigned completely, once I went full time through MicroProse. Below showcases such an example. More below! #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #adventuregames #blender

One of the areas in my game Neyyah is inspired by this building found near Bawdsey, Suffolk, England. The tall building was used as a "Fire Control building" for two gun batteries which are built further in front of it (and which I've also explored). More info below ... #gamedev

Live action was always going to be the way forward for Neyyah's characters. There weren't many. And the filming was challenging in a lot of ways, but it was also fun and amazing what we achieved in such a short period of time! #screenshotsaturday #gaming #pcgaming #indiegame

After a recent trip back to Ipswich, England, I decided to head back down to an old haunt, where a game studio called VS Gaming used to exist. I did work experience here when I was about 15! It helped push my motivation in pursuing game dev! #ScreenshotSunday #gaming #indiedev
