Starspawn: A Miskatonic Mystery @starspawngame.com · 01/03/2026We're zeroing in on the elements we want for the top-down 'navigation mode' of the game. There's no combat, but we still want things to feel dynamic and keep you on your toes. We have some exciting traps coming next! 041
Starspawn: A Miskatonic Mystery @starspawngame.com · 18/12/2025They fixed it 🙌 we haz automated UI tests #gamedev 052
Starspawn: A Miskatonic Mystery @starspawngame.com · 30/11/2025We've been busy working on the script and some top secret UIs, so there hasn't been anything particularly photogenic to share. But here, have a chapter one story beat 041
Starspawn: A Miskatonic Mystery @starspawngame.com · 30/11/2025Playing with multi-level maps, doesn't make that much sense as a library at the moment but the tileset looks great. Guess I can't do much with the space under the overhang though (we don't have "you can see through walls if you're under them") 010
Starspawn: A Miskatonic Mystery @starspawngame.com · 08/11/2025It's Friday night so you know what that means! That's right--we're implementing a point and click puzzle 062

Starspawn: A Miskatonic Mystery @starspawngame.com · 17/09/2025Made a screen that’ll let us set really granular game states and jump around the story 020
Starspawn: A Miskatonic Mystery @starspawngame.com · 24/08/2025Got dynamic nighttime + lighting rendering working, that was quite an ordeal. Just gotta add variable dimensions which should be a cinch 140
Starspawn: A Miskatonic Mystery @starspawngame.com · 17/08/2025Bit wordy but i think this story is off to a strong start (Alt text continued on second picture of same page lol) 130
Starspawn: A Miskatonic Mystery @starspawngame.com · 16/08/2025Here’s a choice bit I like a lot 🙂 deepcuts.blog/2025/08/16/i... 022
Starspawn: A Miskatonic Mystery @starspawngame.com · 10/08/2025Arkham's central shopping district. What do we think 030

Starspawn: A Miskatonic Mystery @starspawngame.com · 07/06/2025who up thinking about the fallout 3 metro npc #gamedev 0114
Starspawn: A Miskatonic Mystery @starspawngame.com · 04/05/2025I also added some little throbbing animations to the pause screen tentacles, it's subtle (good--don't want it distracting) but pretty creepy once you notice it 020
Starspawn: A Miskatonic Mystery @starspawngame.com · 04/05/2025Wanted to feel like professionals so we added a little pre-menu screen that makes us feel like professionals 051
Starspawn: A Miskatonic Mystery @starspawngame.com · 26/04/2025Last (in order of appearance) but not least we have Misha, a mysterious tavernkeeper in the dreamlands. Saying much more would be a spoiler, so: Misha, everyone! 010
Starspawn: A Miskatonic Mystery @starspawngame.com · 26/04/2025You don’t know Samira very well, but she does seem to pop up at auspicious times to steer things around. Including, most recently, last night. It’s possible that taking the “sleep supplement” she gave you was a poor decision… 110
Starspawn: A Miskatonic Mystery @starspawngame.com · 26/04/2025Speaking of aquatic themes: meet Brody! He’s as chill as the puka shells would suggest, though there do seem to be some dark undercurrents. Besides, you know, the obvious. 110
Starspawn: A Miskatonic Mystery @starspawngame.com · 26/04/2025Your best friend Silas is a good guy, but it seems like he’s going through some stuff 😔 110
Starspawn: A Miskatonic Mystery @starspawngame.com · 26/04/2025What to say about Dr. Perdido. I think everybody would agree that he’s had a few screws loose ever since those wild personality swings started. The guy is just obsessed with conspiracies about ancient aliens and stuff 131
Starspawn: A Miskatonic Mystery @starspawngame.com · 26/04/2025And what would a college be without a goth reference librarian who’s been there as long as anybody can remember? 161
Starspawn: A Miskatonic Mystery @starspawngame.com · 26/04/2025Diana’s coworker, Sgt. Earnest (Ret.), has always had his eye on you—no, not like *that*. Probably. 140
Starspawn: A Miskatonic Mystery @starspawngame.com · 26/04/2025Diana is a cheerleader with, one presumes, a dark secret 151
Starspawn: A Miskatonic Mystery @starspawngame.com · 26/04/2025Next we have our unofficial mascot: whatever the hell this thing is! 173
Starspawn: A Miskatonic Mystery @starspawngame.com · 26/04/2025We’re pretty much just waiting on our trailer video before we start launching store pages and the demo, and the Kickstarter! So… let’s meet some characters! First up: you! 182
Starspawn: A Miskatonic Mystery @starspawngame.com · 09/04/2025Adding a bethesda lockpicking clone, of course 3121
Starspawn: A Miskatonic Mystery @starspawngame.com · 08/04/2025Okay, integrated the 'shadows' feature into the stealth/maze mode. Your shadows can halt a guard. Still needs effects and stuff, but, prototyping y'know #gamedev 393
Starspawn: A Miskatonic Mystery @starspawngame.com · 05/04/2025More detailed view of ch. 1 and 3. 1 has a great shape--there's a big fanout on the left, and then we slowly collapse things together into the next fanout point. But something's wrong with 3; multiple things to work on at once, but they're all linear. Not ideal, but might live with it... #gamedev 171
Starspawn: A Miskatonic Mystery @starspawngame.com · 05/04/2025Just realized I forgot to include most of the stuff from the demo on here, but for the most part it's the circled bit in the top left... 010
Starspawn: A Miskatonic Mystery @starspawngame.com · 05/04/2025Please enjoy this spoiler-free & simplified puzzle dependency graph for chapters 1-3! These are a great way to organize your thoughts and see when you might be neglecting a location or if your puzzles are too linear. #gamedev 250
Starspawn: A Miskatonic Mystery @starspawngame.com · 02/04/2025experimenting with ghosts that follow you around for some future minigame/puzzle stuff, though we probably don't want those ghosts to be echoing your idle animation... #gamedev 391
