Issue from @fearzinemagazine.com arrived! Can't wait to dive into all the horror news, games and creators! Maybe I'll save it for my vacation reading soon 😊 Oh, and Confronted is in there! 😍 #indiegame #horror

I wish I actually played games more often, but always find myself developing Confronted instead. I know this might be envious to some! But there are so many great games coming out I wish I had time to play, but it always feels more 'productive' designing mine! #gaming

Can't wait for 28 years later in cinema! Loved 28 days and weeks later. Anyone else excited? #28YearsLater #zombies

There are a few boring parts of game dev. One of them is doing all the string tables 😴 At least I can listen to music while doing it 🎵 #solodev #indiedev

One of the most intimidating aspects of working on a live Early Access game is making sure I DO NOT f*ck up the saved progression for players. I'd hate to accidentally break the game so returning players had to start over for example 🥵 #earlyaccess #solodev #indiegame

Hey gamers! 👋 I've been developing Confronted for nearly 2 years. Chapter 2 comes out later this year. Any help to spread the word would be brilliant; repost, like, wishlist etc. See the game here on Steam: shorturl.at/TW5f5 #indiegame #gamedev

Confronted is a first-person survival horror game where you need to craft your own hideouts to survive against unspeakable terrors within Radu Castle. Its new Chapter 2 update is coming soon:

I find myself procrastinating most when it comes to 'writing' for @confrontedgame.bsky.social Writing beat sheets, story, journals, VO... But I can't stop whiteboxing & environment design! What areas do you procrastinate most in, #solodev #indiedev ? If at all?!

It takes me around 1 to 1.5 years to create an hour of content for @confrontedgame.bsky.social, as a solo dev. If I wanted to do a 35 hour game... do the maths 😂 That's why Confronted will be a solid 3hr experience by full release :) #indiegame #solodev

When I dress a room in @confrontedgame.bsky.social I generally think, "Is this screenshot worthy?" If the answer is "Yes!" it's usually a good place to leave it and move on. #gamedev #leveldesign

It's time to do some piano recording for Cutscene 1 of Chapter 2 on @confrontedgame.bsky.social #solodev #indiegame

Fun fact! The most compared game to @confrontedgame.bsky.social is Amnesia: The Dark Descent! Fun fact 2: I didn't play much of the game! 😲 #indiegame #indiedev #horror

I think one piece of advice I have for aspiring solo/game devs: Be prepared to play your game THOUSANDS of times. Perhaps get a role in QA just to embrace the repetition. Or just replay a game loads as if it was a job. Still got the motivation? #gamedev #indiegame

Getting the voice actors' lines into @Confrontedgame is fairly straightforward: - I use REAPER (it's free!) to trim the lines. - Add a compression if there's a peak that needs lowering. - Render it out using 44.1khz, mono and 16 bit. - Pop it into the game! #indiegame #indiedev

Just finished watching Baby Reindeer on @netflix.com Absolutely beautiful, traumatic, engaging series. Highly recommended. #Netflix #series

These are the type of scripts I send to Voice Actors in @confrontedgame.bsky.social. Context, intensity and emotion per line. Story notes where applicable. The more info the better, to reduce retakes. #indiegame #voiceactor #voiceover
