In 2063’s Arctic, it’s not that cold anymore, but you have to dress sensibly anyway. Some references for Nic and Leda’s outfits: #RadioArctica #horrorgame #indiegame #indiedev

And this so obvious but constantly misunderstood. If audience leaves your movie with a question they are still thinking about that might be a good thing! And when you ask open questions they will attempt to articulate this because it’s the most urgent thought they have

#RadioArctica’s main action happens in the voiced chat. But we won’t settle for a flat screen, so here’s a concept of your cabin in orbit: monitor the screens and enjoy the view of Earth below while the comms window is closed. #indiedev #horrorgame #indiegame

The station management screen in #RadioArctica is shaping up nicely: when you’re not busy helping Nic and Leda survive, you’ll have to tale care of yourself to avoid falling from orbit. #horrorgame #indiegame #indiedev

While we’re cooking the new teaser for #RadioArctica, have the first look at the station control screen. Because your job isn’t just to help the superusers survive — you have to stay alive as well. #indiegame #indiehorror #indiedev #scifigame

An interesting observation: I posted a call for 2D artists for #RadioArctica on our studio’s Telegram channel (the RU audience), stating that we can’t pay now (we both have been laid off), but will surely pay as soon as we get funded. Two ppl reacted with dislikes. 1/

This is who you’re hurting when I find your game has no Mac build.

Procrasti-coded a photo sorting app where you swipe right or left, but the rejected photos don’t get deleted until you explicitly do so: they are added to the REJECTED album and you can easily restore from there. Might finish it and release for free.

The ultimate stationery nerd’s nightmare: you came to do some work at your friends’ place while they’re on vacation and forgot your pen case. Your friends are NOT stationery nerds.

Meanwhile in Russia, a gay bar owner and administrators were sentenced to 2 to 7 (sic) years in prison for “participating in an extremist organisation and spreading its propaganda”. You heard me right: LGBTQ+ is considered an “extremist movement” in RU.

The first teaser for #RadioArctica is live! Get the taste of the game: a story-driven sci-fi horror where you play as a military AI on a derelict Soviet space station saving 2 teens below from alien shapeshifters. youtu.be/h9RcNxoD1HU #indiegame #indiedev #horrorgaming #scifihorror #gamedev

Any music composers here who love cinematic sci-fi horror (more sci-fi than horror)? We’ re looking for a free track for #RadioArctica #indiegame trailer (think Alien:Isolation, Interstellar, Observation vibe) and if you’re interested, please DM me!

In #RadioArctica, strangers will beg you to help them. But you never know if they’re humans or alien doppelgängers… #indiedev #indiegame #horrorgame

Then why use them at all lol, when you have real human talent who can bring new nuances and depth to your characters.

This is your home in #RadioArctica. A derelict space station that you have to keep functioning in order to survive. No crew present — at least that’s what the log says… #wipwednesday #IndieDev #SciFiHorror #SpaceHorror #HorrorGames #indiegame
