One artist, a rake, and a tide clock. Andres Amador's massive geometric sand drawings vanish before the day ends, and that's the whole point.

There's a few underwater sections. Unfortunately, you can't shoot and swim at the same time, also heavy weapons make you sink faster. #UnrealEngineGame #SoloGameDev #IndieGameDev #BoomerShooter

been thinkin about how robots are gonna kill us

Scratchy drawing of a two panel comic.
Panel 1:
Titled:“How we thought robots would kill us”
A robot shoots a human to death with a gun. It screams “Die flesh sack”

Panel 2:
Titled “How robots will actually kill us”
A MediBot is injecting something into a humans arm. The bot says “Whooops. I injected you with cancer instead of insulin. That’s on me”

I added localization mechanisms to the game. Everything related to this is now stored in a few String Tables. It’s straightforward. The second language is Ukrainian, of course. I’m really glad that Unreal Engine do this cool localization stuff with "Text" variable type

Today, for the first time in Unreal Engine, I came across something you probably already knew. A decal placed on an object with a transparency material does not render. I had to do a whole bunch of things separately: Static mesh component, Masked material, Pixel Depth Offset #gamedev

Large parts of "Dungeon" can be barred from entering by making a small mistake. It doesn't affect the gameplay, and you can still finish the game, but you miss out on part of the story or the goodies you'll find. #UnrealEngineGame #indiegame #sologamedev #indiegamedev

At the Saint-Paul-de-Mausole asylum, Van Gogh painted from memory and imagination—fields, stars, and wind. From his bedroom window came The Starry Night (June 1889): turbulence turned to vision, the sky alive with motion and faith.

In "Dungeon" is a dungeon crawler with Rogue-Like elements, such as corpse runs... which can trigger a cool powerup called "Death Save", to avoid the hassle of retrieving your goodies. #UnrealEngineGames #RogueLite #IndieGameDev #SoloDev

In "Dungeon", there's very few jumping puzzles, but growing up, playing #BoomerShooters, I kind of came to hate jumping puzzles in first person shooters. Should I add more of those, though? Does anyone even enjoy them? #UnrealEngineGame

The morgue room is a secret area that contains a few goodies, but also KEY part of the lore. Do you enjoy the story or prefer just the old run'n'gun? #UnrealEngineGame #IndieGameDev

In my game "Dungeon", When the water golem dies, everything around it freezes over. This instantly becomes an environment hazard. Do you think it's fair? #UnrealEngineGame #SoloGameDev #IndieGameDev

Among the many ways of dying in "Dungeon" is the electrocution. There's very few places where you CAN get electrocuted, but it's also one of the most challenging environmental hazards. #UnrealEngineGames #IndieGameDev #IndieDev

One of the key aspects of "Dungeon" is the duality; Darkness and light, manmade and natural, iron and bronze... so on and so forth. This is an underlying theme in the game, albeit one that I did not choose on purpose, it emerged from the existing elements. #UnrealEngineGame #IndieGameDev

"Dungeon" has a wide variety of biomes, in the beginning they were very disconnected, because they came from different scraps of my work, but later on, they coalesced into one single cohesive world. I AM open for commision work, BTW! #UnrealEngineGames #IndieGameDev #EnvironmentArtist #Blender3D
