Katanalevy - Dead Format on Steam @katanalevy.bsky.social · 18/08/2026To take a break while working on my next game I've been experimenting with creating little Sculpey creature dioramas. The living doll one has a fantastic subsurface translucency to give it a fleshy look but it's so extremely soft it's a bit tricky to not crush forms when working on the other side. 072

Katanalevy - Dead Format on Steam @katanalevy.bsky.social · 28/05/2025Environment sound design is one of my favourite aspects of game development!

Katanalevy - Dead Format on Steam @katanalevy.bsky.social · 22/11/2024Video Ghastlies will be a love-letter to classic trashy horror!
