Completely winging it with this model, can you guess what it will be? Animation at the end #gamedev

I think freezing mesh culling looks really interesting #gamedev

Finished this wall warping effect by making the monster tear through the wall! #gamedev

Would you rather identify ghosts using apple juice, a paint gun or breath mints? #ScreenshotSaturday

Screen space reflections weren't looking good so I used the old "duplicate the reflected meshes" technique, looks great now! #horrorgame

Instead of scripted events the environment can be dynamically affected by the ghosts paranormal activity! Like this knight armor that will fall apart piece by piece #gamedev

Currently getting crucified on instagram because they thought this DLSS 5 post was serious. Why is it always instagram?

I added some different ways to enter/exit the map to my horror game! The front gate, backyard, basement, and the roof (helicopter!) #horrorgame

What the geometry of this warping wall effect actually looks like #gamedev

Gradient Games @gradientgames.bsky.social · 14/03/2026

Working on a pretty cool warping effect for my horror game, performance friendly and works on any surface! #screenshotsaturday

Identifying ghosts using a glass sculpture, this one shows off the refraction effects a lot better! #horrorgame

Gradient Games @gradientgames.bsky.social · 08/03/2026

This glass shard might be too easy to use for later levels but I still like it because it shows of the concept in such a clear and cool way :) #horrorgame

Testing an effect that allows you to see things that are otherwise invisible. Especially happy with the custom refraction effects going on! #gamedev

Gradient Games @gradientgames.bsky.social · 24/02/2026

Someone suggested adding a Dreamcatcher to see ghosts, so I did! I'm pretty happy with how this turned out, a pretty easy one to use but cool nonetheless #gamedev #horrorgame

Gradient Games @gradientgames.bsky.social · 20/02/2026

This old film camera is probably the most difficult Anchor so far #gamedev #horrorgame

Gradient Games @gradientgames.bsky.social · 17/02/2026

I put a lot of time into the surface moving/warping effect. Will anyone stand still long enough to notice it? Maybe not but I'm happy with how it turned out #gamedev #horrorgame

Gradient Games @gradientgames.bsky.social · 14/02/2026

I added a handheld mirror a while back but I decided to add a stationary full body mirror as well! #gamedev #indiegame

Gradient Games @gradientgames.bsky.social · 10/02/2026

Finished this new way of seeing the ghost, I'm really happy with how these surface warping effects turned out! #gamedev

What if this was the only way to see ghosts? WIP #gamedev

Top 3 places to visit that aren't in our plane of existence #gamedev - The forest - Twisting room - The void (just don't wander)

My favorite ways of identifying ghosts! #horrorgame - Old film camera - Apple juice - Water gun - Flashlight

Testing the instant camera to identify ghosts, what should I add next? #gamedev

Gradient Games @gradientgames.bsky.social · 04/02/2026

Using decals and particle effects I made some environmental conditions when looking through an Anchor, for example the world can be on fire, have this weird gooey substance and more. This is purely visual but I think it was worth it! #indiedev

Here's how you identify a ghost using a water gun! #horrorgame

I'm making a game where paranormal activity happens dynamically based on the ghosts behavior. The ghost is 100% invisible so flickering lights, a broken clock, footstep sounds or a TV turning on isn't just "atmosphere", it's the only warning you'll get... #horrorgame

Gradient Games @gradientgames.bsky.social · 31/01/2026

I didn't know Bluesky also had #screenshotsaturday ! Happy to share what I'm working on :)

Gradient Games @gradientgames.bsky.social · 30/01/2026

The first tests I did for both paranormal activity and the ghosts screaming effects, I later added many other forms of paranormal activity. Shattering windows, possessed record players and tv's, flickering lights, falling paintings and much more

The mimic ability allows you to take on the form of any human player. npc monsters will not target mimics! Your stalking meter also keeps increasing, allowing you to suddenly kill a human player by instantly transforming back to monster form #gamedev #horrorgame
