Within the UK? That’s unacceptable.

Yeah I went a little too overboard lol. Going to work on this more :D

At least blood has no transparency so I don't need to deal with refraction!

Much appreciated. It's called Deadstock. An eerie stock trading game where you start by optimizing markets… and end up optimizing population.

Thanks. Yes this is one of the screens within the flow. Direct gameplay capture.

Emir Arkman 🩸 Play Hellkind! @emirarkman.com · 20/09/2026

That gave me a great idea. Thanks! Yes this will work!! Also drops will be in an out of focus area so it will be very easy to get away with.

I try to follow a proper production plan but making it as a side project in my spare time broke all plans. So I took a weird approach to motivate myself by working on atmosphere sometimes. This sometimes ends up me doing sound and camera work (or colour work) together. It changed eveything.

3D! But i may even fake it with vfx particles + images to go smoke/mirrors path. Because I just thought that maybe making it real does not any benefit to me other than outcome variety.

Emir Arkman 🩸 Play Hellkind! @emirarkman.com · 20/09/2026

Yes please! Because using water simulation of course didn’t go well - and a metaball solution I have found on github was too complex for me to optimise.

101

Emir Arkman 🩸 Play Hellkind! @emirarkman.com · 20/09/2026

To be honest there is already a scrapped nose bleed feature which is basically an expensice metaballs simulation. Maybe I can repurpose…

Haha thanks a million! <todo: add vomiting as a feature>

Finally finished the colour grading and sfx on one of the scenes in the game. It’s getting there! #gamedev #indiegames #indiegamedev #indiegame

New Friday the 13th trailer gave me depression. Why the hell you need to explain the supernatural stuff.. WTF are you doing to this franchise!?

Emir Arkman 🩸 Play Hellkind! @emirarkman.com · 13/09/2026

New Gears trailer gave me chills. We are so back. I cannot wait!

Holy shit I really want to write some things about industry but cannot - maybe it's time to open another throwaway account.

The game is dead. What am I supposed to do with all this Destiny knowledge now?

110

Emir Arkman 🩸 Play Hellkind! @emirarkman.com · 18/08/2026

Maybe I couldn't explain. It's not like I am making the game horror after I'm done. This is a horror game, it already is. It's about solidifying the components better and better, polishing it to be eerier and creepier. It already is a horror game.

000

Emir Arkman 🩸 Play Hellkind! @emirarkman.com · 18/08/2026

It is a horror game so it's the most important part. The feel of it, the art, the narrative.. It would lose all the meaning and design if I drop the horror part.

Emir Arkman 🩸 Play Hellkind! @emirarkman.com · 18/08/2026

Working on a stock trading game where profit and human loss are the same calculation. You start by optimizing markets. You end by optimizing death. Systems are all done but I am struggling with balancing the numbers and making it a horror game still needs a lot of work.

Hellkind BTS time! Once upon a time there was a pistol.. I’m glad that I’ve decided to cut it but never say never for the sequel.

I thought I had thick skin, but some comments about Hellkind still manage to get through and then just stay in my head forever.

I am in Leamington Spa, it’s 6pm on a Sunday and there is no single person outside. Such a weird place.

Do people still make / share starter packs here? I'd love to find new ones and be part of if I can!

Emir Arkman 🩸 Play Hellkind! @emirarkman.com · 27/07/2026

I liked Halo Campaign Evolved but what the hell is happening with inconsistent + super low performance cutscenes and dumbed down enemy AI? The whole thing leaves a sour taste in the mouth really. It is really hard and exhausting to be a fan.

Emir Arkman 🩸 Play Hellkind! @emirarkman.com · 07/07/2026

Also the loss of senior talent at id Software... Engines don't maintain themselves. They're carried by people with hard earned knowledge that can't be replaced with a new hiring plan. WTF man. They want a new Doom, Quake yet they fire people who know how to make them happen.

Emir Arkman 🩸 Play Hellkind! @emirarkman.com · 07/07/2026

Thinking of everyone who lost their jobs yesterday. I hope every one of you lands somewhere that values what you bring.

Emir Arkman 🩸 Play Hellkind! @emirarkman.com · 07/07/2026

Watching thousands get laid off while the people making these decisions walk away untouched is infuriating as always ffs. Industry is in an awful place right now. Every wave of layoffs erases years of experience, friendships, and passion. We keep pretending this is normal now.

Emir Arkman 🩸 Play Hellkind! @emirarkman.com · 07/07/2026

Yesterday hurt. Not because they're numbers on a spreadsheet, but because they're people. Friends and colleagues. My heart goes out to everyone affected. The industry keeps losing incredible talent, and it's exhausting to watch.

UK trains are amazing. Cold weather? Cancelled. Hot weather? Cancelled. Too much rain? Cancelled. For no reason? Cancelled. If not cancelled it is expensive, dirty and always delayed anyway so wtf is this honestly..

Even Double Fine is considering closing - what are we doing here even…

Used them in this context (WIP UI - do not judge)

Made bunch of portraits for Deadstock - used stock videos and applied Node Machine from SynkitNET. Turned out to be super funky. Contracts are basically side quests from faceless rich people and institutions asking you to make the world worse. #indiegamedev #gamedev

Ah forgot about Silent Hill Townfall! Super curious about what Screen Burn is cooking.

I am so upset that they are killing Destiny. At least shelving for a few years. Such a shame.
