First you have to take the citizenship test. One question: did you like the coffee?

omg you are so right, I feel like there's so much audio horror opportunity in '90s tech... like the sound of a struggling harddrive clicking or dial up static

I've been making a chair inspired by '80s and '90s office vibes. Can't wait to make that plastic grossly yellow and shiny. Doubly can't wait to make creaky chair sfx for when you sit down in this to get to work. #screenshotsaturday #projectdatamind #indiedev #indiehorror #gamedev #blender

Screenshot from the blender viewport showing a retro office chair model in a work in progress state. There is a reference image in the background with both a drawing and photograph from an old office.

Me? I haven't uploaded *anything* for screenshot saturday in 7 months😱 Not sure what my issue is...why does it feel like I never have anything to show despite working consistently that entire time? 🫠 So I'm gonna just post. Will it take me another 7 months to post again after that?

It's screenshot saturday, the best day of the week on bluesky cause all the game devs (try) to post updates on their projects! For my friends who aren't familiar, take a lil peek at #screenshotsaturday

:O I could look at your art all day, it's so textural, crunchy, and aesthetic

I'm so glad you are doing this important work for the people, the hero we need

still debug visualizations, but i just added a face translation tool to my level editor. you can now almost build basic blockouts with this thing so im excited to get more working before moving on to even more complex stuff like texturing! 🤞🤞🤞 #leveldesign #godotengine #gamedev

I'm so psyched for this game! It was one of my favorite demos from this last NextFest!

so... im working on a level editor now because i miss hammer. here's an early vid of the clipping tool working with debug visualizations. watch this space if you also yearn for the days of old CSG #leveldesign #godotengine #gamedev (does this tag even apply if its an app for gamedevs?)

Yeah I agree with you! They can feel very serene or sometimes dreamlike to me.

All your posts are building SUCH ANTICIPATION. I can't wait to see this film.

I find the division between people who GET liminal horror people who don't fascinating. Lots of people saying the division is due to age. I wonder if it has more to do with what you've seen/experienced. Maybe these people who don't get it have never spent much time in empty public buildings?

stevie (she/her) @stevieraedrawn.bsky.social · 31/05/2026

What could be a better horror entity than one that builds and destroys spaces, permanently altering the landscape with no real thought for the humans inside/around it? The space itself isn't the entity, it's the unseeable/incomprehensible thing that causes it to exist.

If you stop to fathom everything that needed to be done to plan, zone, build, and operate a mall, it's beyond the capabilities/finances of normal people. And just to abandon it when the profit no longer meets expectations.

120

stevie (she/her) @stevieraedrawn.bsky.social · 31/05/2026

The horror cliche used to be zombies in a mall, but we've learned. Zombies (aka people) aren't the real monster, it's the mall. (Or the office buildings or the suburbs or the strip malls etc)

120

stevie (she/her) @stevieraedrawn.bsky.social · 31/05/2026

If zombies were a metaphor for being alienated from the majority of people, liminal horror is a metaphor the oppressive structural system we've noclipped into and will likely never escape.

What I most wanted to say is, no matter what you do it I know it is going to turn out for the best (even if it's painful in the process). If you did ever decide to pivot, I'm certain you could do it. It's truly never too late. And I wanted to say again: thank you.

stevie (she/her) @stevieraedrawn.bsky.social · 27/04/2026

And by making it I mean just have enough financial security to get by and not live in constant anxiety. But what I want for you, for other artists, and honestly for everyone, is to be able to live without fear of losing financial stability or of having to forego food, shelter, or medicine.

stevie (she/her) @stevieraedrawn.bsky.social · 27/04/2026

I'm a small artist with niche tastes and I feel that push-and-pull between being "commercially viable" and doing what brings me joy. I've been trying and trying and trying to make things in-line with who I am and also "make it", but so far the two have not met.

110

stevie (she/her) @stevieraedrawn.bsky.social · 27/04/2026

I know this isn't a balm for intense burnout, but it's so important to me to tell you: You've made some of the most meaningful videos I've ever seen, ones I want to go back to over and over. OP-1 01-25-24 (Instinct) and OP-1 12-26-23 (Feral). Thank you for what you've done and how you've shown up.

stevie (she/her) @stevieraedrawn.bsky.social · 27/04/2026

I wasn't following you here yet, but this post found its way onto my feed. I was moved by/relate to the burnout you describe--but then I realized you're Red Means Recording and cried a bit. It's a unique pain of this moment to realize the people you admire don't even have security.

stevie (she/her) @stevieraedrawn.bsky.social · 17/04/2026

This is the worst. These kinds of stolen art sticker packs make Etsy feel so bad. I hope Throne responds/takes care of the issue.

I had to dig into a video to find it! Apparently it's only used in the cinematic! You can hear it at the timestamp when the wizard speeds up youtu.be/7umaSjvoBRI?...

Magic Carpet!!! What a throwback. I still recognize one specific foley sfx that shows up all over the place from that game first.

stevie (she/her) @stevieraedrawn.bsky.social · 07/03/2026

I don't think I've touched either game since before 2005. This makes me really want to go back and experience them again!

stevie (she/her) @stevieraedrawn.bsky.social · 07/03/2026

Thank you! I would be very interested to see your list!

Hard to settle on just Myst, though!! I also loved Riven, Myst 3 and Myst 4! There was a time when my Myst obsession was so strong I went seeking similar games and played some weird titles like Lighthouse: The Dark Being and Shivers.

I'd be very interested in reading this! I hope this encouragement helps.

It's changed how I see games since I started learning about all this. Now I find myself more willing to play random experiences that I might not have spent time on before. I still don't think I've made it outside the popular bubble yet, tho.

stevie (she/her) @stevieraedrawn.bsky.social · 14/11/2025

I don't think consumers understand that games that steam recommends are already huge. And if more than 2 content creators have played or recommended it, it's likely the same story.
