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

In "Dungeon", there's a few mysteries, none more important than the ghost... #IndieGameDev #UnrealEngineGame

I only used #Blender. Sculpted, painted and modeled in #B3D

The main character has hematophobia; Fear of blood. Too bad, there's a whole area with tons of it. #IndieGameDev #UnrealEngineGame #GameDev

Before I was a #GameDev, I used to be a sculptor. I made about 5 versions of the #Necronomicon. These are some of them. #Sculptor #Artist

In "Dungeon", each biome has a surrounding area that you can explore. Each contains weapons, goodies and/or keys. #UnrealEngine #IndieGameDev

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

Armand Castro @evilplanets.bsky.social · 19/08/2026

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

Armand Castro @evilplanets.bsky.social · 17/08/2026

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

Armand Castro @evilplanets.bsky.social · 16/08/2026

the flattened version, looks like a menger's sponge almost.

Armand Castro @evilplanets.bsky.social · 16/08/2026

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

Armand Castro @evilplanets.bsky.social · 15/08/2026

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

Testing the new lazer-pew-pew on a few victims. Looks fun to me. Oh yeah, and empty cartridges blow the hell up! #UnrealEngineGame #IndieGameDev

Armand Castro @evilplanets.bsky.social · 13/08/2026

Now that I think of it, a lot of things in "Dungeon" blow up. Should I make it a tad less blowy-uppy, or you like to be kept on your toes? #UnrealEngineGame #SoloGameDev

Armand Castro @evilplanets.bsky.social · 12/08/2026

Introducing new and awesome weapon; The LZR-909x!!! This is by far one of my favorites! Unfortunately, I had to disable non-zero ammo reloads, for obvious reasons... ...Making of coming to Patreon, soon! #UnrealEngineGame #IndieGameDev #FPSweapon #DevLog

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

Armand Castro @evilplanets.bsky.social · 07/08/2026

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

Armand Castro @evilplanets.bsky.social · 05/08/2026

"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

So I took the liberty to re-design a boss. Here's the main skin and the damaged skin. The one with the crown is how it used to look. #UnrealEngineGame #IndieGameDev

In my game "Dungeon", sometimes there's environmental hazards and annoying enemies combined... I promise I don't hate the players, it just made sense at the time. #UnrealEngineGame #IndieGameDev #IndieDev #FPSgames

I added some more props to the alchemist's lair. I was testing how much I can get away with, without creating new materials and textures, and I was able to use the same texture atlas to model those new beakers. Not my best work, but it'll do. #UnrealEngineGame #IndieGameDev #IndieDev #IndieFPS

For those who've been following. I was pondering whether to gold-plate the Auto-45 gun you find in the gold area. Well, it is now The Golden Auto-45. #UnrealEngineGame #IndieGameDev #IndieDev

The Turrets in my game "Dungeon" are very dangerous, but right now it's an enemy that you can easily fool. I'm not sure if I should keep it that way. #UnrealEngineGame #IndieGameDev #FPSGame #IndieDev

I've added a Lovecraftian wing to "Dungeon", now we got an Alchemist's Lair! For now it doesn't hold anything but props, but I guess I'll have to make new relics/goodies/weapons just for these areas. What do YOU think? #UnrealEngineGames #IndieGameDev #Blender3D #UnrealEngine #IndieDev

Armand Castro @evilplanets.bsky.social · 09/07/2026

The new generator room area from my game "Dungeon". It's a very small area, was never meant to be anything other than a gag, but I loved it so much that I am trying to find a legit in-game use for it! #UnrealEngineGame #IndieGameDev #WIP #UnrealGame #IndieDev

0123

Armand Castro @evilplanets.bsky.social · 08/07/2026

The sound design and VFX on this one are INSANE! Also, waiting on the bake, but I'll post video soon! #WIP #UnrealEngineGame #IndieGameDev

Armand Castro @evilplanets.bsky.social · 05/07/2026

Just finished modeling The Great Reaktor™, for my game "Dungeon". It was conceived as LoPoly geometry from the start, so most of the detail is gonna be material-based. This will be a key piece of level geometry. Stay tuned for the Making of! #Blender3D #IndieGameDev #UnrealGame

So I was thinking about what a lot of people told me about the glass exploding in the wrong direction, I think I fixed it. Collisions are still a bit wonky, but for now they'll do. I'mma focus on other areas... Like the secret item that chapel is gonna hold! 👿 #UnrealEngineGame #IndieGameDev

Armand Castro @evilplanets.bsky.social · 02/07/2026

The Library area of my game "Dungeon" is actually still a WIP, but it will loop back into one of the most important secret locations! How??? Stay tuned! #UnrealEngineGame #IndieGameDev #IndieDev

The new Chapel area from my game, "Dungeon". Still unsure what else to add here and what to put in there to make it significant, but I wanted an excuse to put my stained glass windows in there (Check my Patreon for the making of!) #UnrealEngineGame #IndieGameDev #IndieDev #GameDev

In my game, "Dungeon", there's a lot of different bioms, each has its particular set of hazards. In this one, you can actually drown. #UnrealEngineGame #IndieGameDev #IndieDev #FPSgame
