iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Idk I’m not really someone who likes liminal space shit but this genuinely has been so fun for me, especially the exploration aspects. I’d recommend it if anyone’s bored. In my opinion it’s pretty good horror too, at least by my standards. So yeah I’ve just been being neurodivergent is all

000

You dont mine or get better ores, you tear apart furniture, rip off the wallpaper and carpets, throw bricks at the lights to steal the fluorescent bulbs, use late game items to extract lead from the wallpaper. Basically you actually have to engage with the concept.

100

There is such a huge variety of rooms and just unique things that work really well for something like the backrooms and a lot of the games progression isn’t based on the mods but instead the backrooms.

100

But once you’ve seen that you’ll start finding those things fairly often as if they were always common. It feels like the whole play through I’m walking into places I shouldn’t be yet. There are things like tvs making static noise hidden so you don’t know whether it’s something new or just ambience.

100

I really didn’t expect it but it genuinely scared me multiple times. There is something weird about the exploration that for me made it so I was walking through the same couple rooms for a while and then I’d abruptly run into something entirely different and out of place.

100

I think liminal horror has become so dry and bland and this is honestly really refreshing. Well I haven’t seen the backrooms movie so that might not be. This mod gets it. There isn’t a shit ton of enemies and spooky jump scares everywhere, just atmosphere.

If anyone’s wondering why I haven’t posted anything in a week or so, I kinda found this Minecraft mod pack called liminal industries and got distracted cause it ended up being such an amazing and fun experience so now it’s my hyperfixation!

100

Yay the gates of hell have opened!.. but I mean it’s fine, surely YouTube will moderate this and not let the shock engagement bait comments that already plague their site everywhere do things like post gore and porn in the comments of kids videos, right?? We’re so fucked

I'm honestly just really impressed with how good the Eevee rendering engine has gotten. It looks a lot less like a real time render engine than when I started using blender. Its crazy how a free program can just continues to evolve and become better I guess just from community support.

061

When you switch animations, it checks if theres a file specifically for the new animation with the current oddity. If there isnt, it just plays the one for the unaltered objects. So I can render as many different things as i want and it wont get messy now :3

020

I figured out something a lot better though. For the animations where a visible object is swapped, there is an animation of the same name with the name of the oddity at the end.

120

In godot I basically just created a separate animation player with the exact same names for the animations with the object renders that is triggered simultaneously and plays over. I'd then have to have separate animation files for every animation of every possible thing this enemy could do.

100

Since I find it interesting and probably useful to someone, how it works is basically blender compositing bullshit to render the objects but hide the other stuff while keeping the shadows. In eevee this is hell

Okay so I built a system where i can change certain pieces of the environment easily. One of the enemy's indicators is altering something, somewhere that you have to look for to know if they're there. #blender3d #blender #b3d #godot #indiedev #gamedev #devlog #3d #animation #art #digitalart #indie

So far everything seems to be working amazing! I was able to get the placeholder renders in in probably less than an hour meaning I apparently did something right. I kinda didnt realize how much i actually have so far till i threw it together. #godot #gamedev #indiedev #blender #b3d #blender3d #art

Did a lot of work on stuff like the debug panel, ui, loading, other stuff. a lot more to do certainly but i thought id update. also the game is basically playable for the mechanics i have which is nice. This is gonna be so sick with the renders #godot #gamedev #indiedev #devlog #art #digitalart

Spending all that time making flowers with geometry nodes probably wasnt the most efficient use of my time but whatever #art #digitalart #blender #blender3d #3d #3dart #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame Also its a pre-rendered game so i can have an amalgamation of polygons like this

I'm not showing everything of course, there are many things i have planned that I dont want to spoil till its out

♦️ɅIX♦️ @aix-art.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

Devlog #5? I think - System for swapping out the different renders of a room by file name - 3d scene to make the audio easier to track - Proper Debug panel - Mspaint placeholder images - Some character rigging stuff - A lot of bug fixes and optimization - first song of the soundtrack! #gamedev

🫂 Yeah I get it. It really sucks missing out on everything and just not knowing how to fit in more. If it means anything I’m glad you’re here and I’d feel bad if something happened to you.

♦️ɅIX♦️ @aix-art.bsky.social · 25/08/2026

My game has a Gamejolt page!! I will also be posting all my updates over there and the game when its finished. Be sure to wishlist it or whatever tf Gamejolt uses gamejolt.com/games/WhatWe...

It’s supposed to be my way of passing on what I learned that is why me and my friends are still alive and just kinda a way to show my appreciation for them. I think the fact that I’ve suffered so much has hidden how astrology much they’ve done for me. It’s a dark game but hopefully I get that across

♦️ɅIX♦️ @aix-art.bsky.social · 21/08/2026

It might not be clear for a while, and a lot of the game will be about trauma and fear, but the main message I want of What We See In the Dark is lifting each other up and even if you feel weak, being strong in ways you don’t notice. :3

♦️ɅIX♦️ @aix-art.bsky.social · 20/08/2026

The animation tree seems to work well :3 (just to test still a lotttttt of Blending to do)

♦️ɅIX♦️ @aix-art.bsky.social · 19/08/2026

Also I want to get it out of the way since a lot of people won’t know, this is not ai generated. The weird artifacting comes from the denoising in the viewport being faster and rougher which makes it kinda smudgy

♦️ɅIX♦️ @aix-art.bsky.social · 19/08/2026

Posting more updates for my mental health This is all really early and stuff so not what the final thing will look like just conceptual (evident by the shitpost placeholder assets) #blender #blender3d #b3d #indiedev #indie

DEVLOG 2 Uh, a lot of things.. Spacial audio cause its one of the enemies mechanics, Room corruption (will make sense when I get to it), Music box, Debug panel thing, AI tweaks and just progress so yeah Idk man im just pressing random buttons #digitalart #art #godot #indie #indiedev

Making this game seems to be helping me a lot

What We See In The Dark devlog 1!!! Mostly just the basic parts but for what it is I'm happy with it. Just the basic framework for the camera and the ai for one of the enemies :3 This of course isnt what the game will look like its just to test the code. #godot #art #digitalart #indiedev

Here's a door I made in create aeronautics cause the first devlog's not ready yet and i need to post more

First time using the Godot engine today! Code seems scary but it’s nothing new really and Godot is just fucking amazing tbh

I had seen next to nothing of The Walten Files before this episode, so I knew nothing leading up to it but still that video broke me. It’s incredible that we live in a world where regular people can make an animated film that well written that is so disturbing it will mentally cripple you.

♦️ɅIX♦️ @aix-art.bsky.social · 08/08/2026

uh, I guess a little about Liffette: Shes 16, closeted trans women, nose bleeds a lot, doesnt talk much, is most of the time either drawing or sleeping, Null is her best friend and somewhat a guide to her, also shes somewhat cursed

♦️ɅIX♦️ @aix-art.bsky.social · 08/08/2026

FIRST CONCEPT ART FOR A GAME?! We’ll see if I get anywhere with it :3 Meet Liffette and Null! Main characters in what may or may not be a fnaf-like game I’m planning. Will post more that actually explains what it is soon. #art #digitalart #fnaf #ocart

If I post about it I'm more likely to do it

♦️ɅIX♦️ @aix-art.bsky.social · 04/08/2026

I should make like a game or some shit. I gotta distract myself from the world more.
