Thank you! Definitely inspired by the snake cam but I really liked imagining this rudimentary version of that where these tactical guerrillas simply peek under the door before breaching in

Made a new mechanic of peeking under doors to figure out the best way to breach a room and also a new interaction UI with more interaction choices. Different weapon types now have a different crosshair too

Thats sweet, Rainbow Six and Vegas series are a big influence on the game for sure

Yeah that was one of the solutions posted in the FMOD forums, but I didn't want to have Unity's audio enabled just for this one thing because I'd have to worry about a separate bus for mixing/volume in the settings just for this small thing + a bit small overhead for having audio enabled

Cheers! I was very, very surprised by FMOD not having a straight forward solution to this since it seems like it would be a big deal for FMV cutscenes, more so than diegetic videos in the game

The way I did it to solve the syncing issue is to get the timeline position of the FMOD Event and the current time of the video player, and if the event is ahead of the video by 0.2 seconds than I increase the video playback speed to 1.3x so it can catch up

You can now see Red Nightmare from 1962 in its entirety in the game. This was trickier to do than I thought since FMOD and Unity's Video Player don't work well together, they can get out of sync very easily

Reading the review, it’s everything I didnt want the game to be. Its so over

Cowardice. Any game with time, or inventory or money or ANY kind of limit, players will complain and mod it to remove all of that. And they're wrong *every single time*.

Hacky way to of getting physics cloth to interact with shots, since it can only interact with capsule or sphere coliders I set the position of a sphere collider where it was shot

Just noticed the Lead Animator for Condemned 1 & 2 actually transitioned! What a light bulb moment seeing her name on my feed and realizing who it was. I emailed her a few years ago asking for tips for true first person animation for Corpus Edax and she was very thorough and helpful!

Luís understands the important things in games. Namely being able to donk people with random thrown crap

There has to be something with the new monitors because I also have a cheaper 1080p monitor that’s still kicking ass. Planned obsolescence doesn’t seem that far fetched, 2 months outside warranty like come on man

Seriously they do this shit on purpose

After months of teasing me it finally happened, RIP 2 year old monitor just outside of warranty

é uma mistura muito interessante entre jogos mil-sims tipo Arma e Battlefield, com as 3 facções a lutar por controlo tipo MAG, o loop de gameplay também é bastante parecido ao MAG, adorava esse jogo

Luís G. Bento @epicmcdude.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

This game reminds me so much of MAG and I've been chasing that type of game ever since, but not sure I'd drop 40€+ on it. Also bonus clip

Me and my brother cleared out a sniper's nest in Wardogs and I really liked how the first guy immediately 180'd as soon as he saw me lol

This is why self-determination is absolutely vital. And it's why I despise Americans who watch something on Fox News, Jon Oliver or TikTok and start talking about "helping those people". That's exceptionalism brain rot - you're not the "world police", you're an invader, a pillager, a colonizer.

I was really not liking Tony Hawk Underground 2 but this New Orlean level fucking rocks, you do open a portal to hell and you need to close it

Luís G. Bento @epicmcdude.bsky.social · 28/08/2026

Inspiration for this level were the Resident Evil 2002 movie sewers/utility tunnels

I like how UI design in games has regressed so much in the past decade that people think final designs are placeholders

One of my favorite games ever, Deus Ex: Human Revolution, released 15 years ago today

Oh don't worry, too many times playtesting where it was exactly this moveset that the situation called for so it's absolutely staying!

Everyone should go follow Black Pony's account, new studio helmed by Harvey Smith and Ricardo Bare

Same here, my performance target is 40fps on the Steam Deck and I occasionally do some builds to test on it. I think performance will mostly be level dependent but It's still a year or so away, optimization can only get better!

Luís G. Bento @epicmcdude.bsky.social · 18/08/2026

Won't have a lot I can share for a few weeks as I work on the game's levels but I did work on destructible cars, grenades on NPCs and vents!

2 immersive-sims set in a grimy concrete dystopia! Dialogue choices, environmental exploration, throwing physics objects and kicking people... what more could you want

Btw, if you'd like to have PBR textures you can make some here cpetry.github.io/NormalMap-On..., or make some with Krita. Krita has a normal map filter and you can make Metallic/Roughness by desaturating and splitting the Alpha in the metallic texture and converting the roughness map as transparency
