Another fun before and after, this time of the Steam capsule from first page publish (2022) to now. The original background is from first-gen Midjourney. Getting rid of the placeholder AI art took a surprisingly long time; it turns out we needed to discover the tone of the game first!

This is why you hire good graphic designers. We made a spooky sci-fi banner (before). Our designer asked: "But what is the game actually about?" Co-op. Repairs. Horrible monster (after). Making a game and communicating a game are different skillsets ❤️ #indiedev #indiemarketing #graphicdesign

One of the most important tools of the salvage engineer is the map table. You can override security lockouts and guide fellow engineers to the damage - so long as the wreck still has power. Strategize as a team! #indiedev #scifi #wip

Version 0.4.254 was just released to our alpha testers in the community discord. Updated UI, the first pass of the interactive map table, and the wreck now has a name plate! Why not drop in to the Discord and check the project out discord.gg/qZPcA6cfBu #alpha #playtests #scifi #horrorgame

Look, it's a tiny thing but we are loving the new menu screens for Cold Salvage. Our new 3D artist is getting some serious mileage out of kitbashing - which is so critical in a small team on a shoestring budget #indiedev #gameart #scifi

Quick little #WIP of the reactor core particle effects and unfinished deck layout. The reactor is not dangerous by itself, but for some as-yet unknown reason, the things that cross over, they love to nest here. Move quickly, move quietly. #gamedev #scifi #horrorgame

More beautiful #dev #art. The brief was "the players need to be able to carry an explosive device". 💣 The sphere, we get. But the fuse? *chefs kiss* #gamedev

Here's a throwback for the state of the game 61 days ago in November. Including the Christmas break, that translates to six actual weeks of work between then and now #throwback #gamedev

Happy Friday! Today's dev diary is this incredibly moody CIC (command deck) work in progress by our new 3D artist. We're so excited to see what they can build with the existing assets #indiedev #wip #environmentalart

We can't get enough of crunchy #devart . This is what a spaceship's 3D printer looks like in the year... 2233? Something like that. It's perfect in every way. When building the game, first we make it work - then we make it pretty. We present: the Geiger Counter Vending Machine #gamedev

Cold Salvage - A co-op survival game. Claim your salvage tug from the scrapyards, gear up with your engineer buddies, and try to survive dangerous salvage missions. But be careful, the things that killed these ships may still be on board... #indiedev #gamedev #horrorgame #spotlight

#gamedev early WIP of our life atmospheric systems and wrist monitor in Cold Salvage. Parts of the wreck may have low O2, dangerous CO2 levels, or even be exposed to vacuum. A good engineer knows when to put their helmet on. #indiedev #survivalhorror #scifi

Dev placeholder art is so crunchy and perfect. Exhibit A: the aniseed-flavoured smoke grenade for our horror survival title. Why aniseed? it makes perfect sense in-game, we promise 💥🍬 #gamedev #art
