Don't make me go watch all of those reels/supercuts where people encounter Elder Scrolls NPC types in real life. I've gone down that rabbit hole too many times. 😵

Been toying around with the PS1 / PSX horror/liminal art style. Mostly texturing and environment design. Just wanted to share some of the progress. It's been fun to do something a bit different/simpler than I normally do. #silenthill #backgrooms #horrorgames #playstation #gameart #blender #psx

For the first time ever I'm releasing the original 2022 demo mixes of my lofi EP, Radio Sailing. For now it's only on Bandcamp. I'm still planning final mixes on the unreleased tracks, but please enjoy, and share with any lofi buds! #lofi #lofibeats #musicproducer #demotape #beattape #chillbeats

I prefer it, but in today's world, it's dangerous to rely on people knowing what you can do. Sadly we're in a "show it or it doesn't exist" time. I blame "fake it 'til you make it." It forced everyone into "if I don't see it, it's not real." So now people who worked quietly have to get loud.

As devs, there are periods of exploration and then periods of showcase. I "Wonka" which is where I close the factory and work in secret. Turns out, I need to show what I'm capable of, so I'll be back to posting more. Hello! Here's a recent Godot 3D course project: #gamedev #godot4 #godot #3D

@droqen.bsky.social Would love to talk sometime about reading the redacted version of the article you wrote in 2021. Or just in general. Regardless: Thank you for the experience. It was very needed.

Shadow64 @shadow64.bsky.social · 03/05/2026

@soundfontguy.bsky.social Thanks again for the information. Grabbed a bunch. Looking forward to making some more music.

Shadow64 @shadow64.bsky.social · 01/05/2026

Okay awesome! Thanks for clarifying! 😎👍 I was a little confused by a reply on itch where someone wanted a demo of Materia and you pointed them to the GE Overview video, so I just wanted to be sure.

Shadow64 @shadow64.bsky.social · 01/05/2026

Amazing! Noticed this on sale but could you clarify which (if any) are included in GEV2. Some expansions, like Materia, seem like they are in GEV2? But maybe not? It seems like OrchestraGuy, GuyPalette, AmbientGuy, and GEV2 could all be bought without redundancy, is that so? Thanks for the sale!

Shadow64 @shadow64.bsky.social · 22/04/2026

Right on. Looking forward to seeing what you make. I think staying active in dev in between can also make it a bit easier to find folks. Sounds like you're doing the right stuff! 👍😎

Shadow64 @shadow64.bsky.social · 21/04/2026

Thanks! I've never worked with a team on Ludum Dare. Always gone solo. But I did do a Brackeys Jam a few years ago with someone I met on Threads. Ultimately that platform has shifted a bit since and I wouldn't say it's as good for that anymore. The Brackeys discord might be a good spot though.

Ludum Dare entry is basically done. I have one or two more animations/screens that need to be created and implemented but they are simple, so I'm off to sleep! Last few hours when I wake up and then submission time! Looking forward to playing lots of cool games! #LudumDare #LD59 #GameDev #Indie

Ludum Dare 59: Signal! Didn't get things together in time for a solid entry last year. This year I'm scoping better, keeping it minimal, and sticking to my strengths. Gonna sleep, then back to wrapping things up. Please Press Button. #ludumdare #ld59 #gamedev #indiedev #uiux #godot

Working on design patterns and clean code. A test project, but all my own Writing/UI/Sound/Music/Code. (BGs from Unsplash with some light Photoshop.) The nice part is all of this work can directly flow into my Steam project. Including saving/loading! #gamedev #indiedev #cleancode #uiux #godot

Shadow64 @shadow64.bsky.social · 25/01/2026

Been busy, but SO excited! Writing clean(er) code is so helpful and eye opening! The dialogue is for me to chuckle at. The sounds are obviously...borrowed. 🤫 BG is from Unsplash and then run through a cutout filter. Made in Godot. #GameDev #IndieDev #Godot #ScreenshotSaturday #VN #CleanCode

Continuing to develop my solo indie game and the demo is still live on Steam! Next steps are implementing feedback, refactoring code, and squashing bugs. If you love uncomfortable horror, give it a play and let me know what you think! #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiegames #indiedev #godot #icky

My solo indie horror visual novel demo grabbed a decent amount of wishlists and claims from this week's Steam Next Fest. Would love more feedback, so if you're a horror gamer or streamer who loves the creepy, give it a shot! #indiegames #indiedev #nextfest #horrorgames #vn #uncanny #gamedev #weird

Got this trailer done last night for my dystopian indie horror game's demo. Hoping that everything gets approved by Steam so it can still participate in Next Fest. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegames #horrorgames #horrorvn #sundayscaries #severancefans #scifigames #visualnovels

Very strange. I'm waiting to hear back from SoundCloud but in the meantime I have set the old watermarked version back to public. I'll be switching it to that on the page as well, but you can find it here: soundcloud.com/iamshadow64/... Sorry about the confusion/issues.

Fauxnal Fantasy - 8-bit RPG Music Pack (SAMPLER)

This music pack, inspired by the great 8-Bit JRPGs of the past, contains 10 diverse tracks that will give your game a feel that is a sword slash above and launch it beyond the ordinary freeware/jam ga

Shadow64 @shadow64.bsky.social · 29/09/2025

Thank you for letting me know. I'll take a look. Usually there should be a playlist that has a digital watermark but I just checked and it's not there. Let me get back to you today. 👍

It's Thing Thursday! 🛠️🎮 (I'm making this up. But why not?) Got most of the UI in and working for the Options menu. Just a couple more elements to do...but hey! I did The Thing! Did you do The Thing today? What's your Thing? Whatcha do? #gamedev #indiedev #gameui #uiartist #uidesign #thingthurs

Success! :D At least we both were blind to it! That does make me feel better.

Shadow64 @shadow64.bsky.social · 02/08/2025

Uh I'm mortified to see that what I thought I posted as an exclamation was a question mark. I'm so sorry. I was actually very grateful and I hope it didn't seem like I was mocking you. Extremely sorry.

Shadow64 @shadow64.bsky.social · 01/08/2025

Thanks? 👍 I am thinking I may also add a toggle option to disable the animation another if people would rather the menus just appear/disappear but I may also have that for a QoL update after release.

Shadow64 @shadow64.bsky.social · 01/08/2025

Working on the pause menu for my horror game. I hate when you open a menu by mistake and have to wait for the animation to finish, so here you can reverse it instantly. Godot helped make that easy. store.steampowered.com/app/3818140/... #indiegames #horrordev #horrorvn #ui #gamedev #godotengine

You can't hang VHS tapes up in the air like this and not expect me to want to kickflip through it for an achievement.

Ah yes. The legend of the heavenly VHS. I remember this.

TFW your game about manipulation and passive aggression mirrors that messaging in its menu system. But at least the music is meditative. 🎧 store.steampowered.com/app/3818140/... #gamedev #indiedev #creepy #severancefans #portal #scifigames #scifihorror #horror #horrorgames #blackandwhite #vngames

Shadow64 @shadow64.bsky.social · 18/07/2025

It is incredibly helpful. Have you dipped into the joy of how easily you can display text and make it animate with no add-ons/extensions?

020

Shadow64 @shadow64.bsky.social · 18/07/2025

Maybe, but I'm pretty sure taurune is just the same thing as pirune, but twice as bad. 🤷‍♂️

Shadow64 @shadow64.bsky.social · 18/07/2025

Just don't play pirune. I hear it goes on forever in a big dumb circle.

I know gamers were sooo mad at Portal for not getting any cake. So my scifi corporate office horror VN solves that in the first five minutes. If you're hungry, come eat. store.steampowered.com/app/3818140/... Available for Wishlist #gamedev #horrordev #visualnovel #severancefans #portal

A screenshot from a black-and-white visual novel video game. The image shows a close-up of a smiling man in a suit, surrounded by unnervingly cheerful coworkers in patterned office clothing. The characters’ exaggerated expressions and tight framing create a surreal, claustrophobic tone. A dialogue box at the bottom reads: “COWORKER 5: Did you have any cake yet?”

Shadow64 @shadow64.bsky.social · 13/07/2025

My game's chaotic intro is "dev heavy" on purpose. Starting with the most complicated scene forced me to refactor early so I dodge pain later. store.steampowered.com/app/3818140/... #horrorgaming #gamedev #godot4 #screenshotsaturday #portalfans #severancefans #scifi #visualnovel #godot #indiedev
