Next up for the Massacre At The Mirage cast is Vivian! She's a mix of Daphne and Peggy Bundy, but with a metalhead/goth edge. Her voice actor will be announced in a few days! I've been having a blast locking in the voice cast for Massacre 2! #indiegame #indiegamedev #PSX

Finished my fourth piece of music for Massacre At The Mirage 2. A little atmospheric piano piece that will help set the vibe while you explore Crooked Pines Forest and Dick's cabin. Nothing complicated here, just trying my best to channel John Carpenter. 🤘 #indiegame #indiegamedev

Introducing "Raven," the next girl who is part of the main cast for Massacre At The Mirage 2. She has strong ties to pagan and witchy lore. Wonder what trouble she will get up to. @blairvira.bsky.social will be returning to voice her. Excited to work with her again. #indiegame #indiegamedev #PSX

A little look at one of the locations I've been working on for Massacre At The Mirage 2, Dick's cabin. Nothing better than a spooky cabin in the middle of the woods. Got some cool stuff planned for this level. #indiegame #indiegamedev #PSX

October is almost here, and Jack Voltage is giving us a little update on Massacre At The Mirage 2, along with a preview of one of the atmospheric tracks I am working on for the opening map. A blood moon on Halloween night...sounds perfect. 😈🤘 Voice of Jack Voltage: @RaxArcade

Tainted Pact Games @taintedpactgames.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

Finished another track for Massacre At The Mirage 2. This is the theme song for "The Ghost Ryders." Hutch's, Axel's, and Roach's fictional 80s metal band. Worked on it in chunks over the past couple of weeks and finally finished it. Now I can start on the atmospheric tracks. #indiegame #indiegamedev

First female cast member for Massacre At The Mirage 2. Luna, one of the few survivors from The Skin Stapler. It's been 5 years since she worked at Carrion City PD. Now she's got a badass Trans Am and an old friend to help(Slater). Voiced by and modeled after @EvilChick_N #indiegame #indiegamedev

Dick Slater traded in his police cruiser for something with a little more style. Modeled this bike for him today. It's roughly based on a 1989 Honda Shadow 1100. I was watching Terminator 2 while making it 😎 🤘 #indiegame #indiegamedev #PSX

1133

Tainted Pact Games @taintedpactgames.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

Dick Slater is back in Massacre At The Mirage 2 with brand new models! Dick is a little older but still hard as a rock. 😏 Check out his new and classic look. I can say this with complete confidence. Dick has never looked this good!😎🤘 #indiegame #indiegamedev #PSX

Tainted Pact Games @taintedpactgames.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

Another location from the first Massacre At The Mirage, remade for part 2. The Toot Radio station! Or what's left of it. I don't plan to explore the inside as I do with the Mirage, but I wanted to match the exterior as closely as possible for the scenes I have planned. #indiegame #indiegamedev

Tainted Pact Games @taintedpactgames.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

All the male metalheads in the main cast of Massacre At The Mirage are finished. The last one seen here is "Roach," the resident trasher and stoner. Also with the final versions of Hutch and Axel. Next up is the girl cast and, of course, Dick Slater 🤘 #indiegame #indiegamedev #PSX

Tainted Pact Games @taintedpactgames.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

I just finished making the new version of Manny's ice cream truck. It's pretty beat up, but I'm sure Manny can still serve you a popsicle or two. 😈 #indiegame #indiegamedev

Tainted Pact Games @taintedpactgames.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

Introducing Axel! Another main character for Massacre At The Mirage 2. There is only one thing he loves more than partying, and thats metal! 🤘 #indiegame #indiegamedev

Tainted Pact Games @taintedpactgames.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

Been working late into the night on the first song for the Massacre At The Mirage 2 soundtrack. Just finished the main menu music, "Black Harvest." Manny is back for murder and metal. Hope you guys like it 😈🤘 #indiegame #indiegamedev

Tainted Pact Games @taintedpactgames.bsky.social · 08/09/2026

The Mirage has seen better days. A little peek at what's left of The Mirage in the aftermath of Manny's visit. Completely remade in my grindhouse PSX style. You will visit the Mirage in part 2, but it won't be a main location. More of a nod to part 1 and its story. #indiegame #indiegamedev #PSX

Tainted Pact Games @taintedpactgames.bsky.social · 08/09/2026

Another first draft of a character for Massacre At The Mirage 2. "Goonie," a stoner sloth. He's part of an 80s metalhead version of a ghost-hunting, Scooby-Doo-esque team tracking down Manny the Mime to see if he really exists. He is pretty much my version of Scoob. 🤘 #indiegame #indiegamedev #PSX

Tainted Pact Games @taintedpactgames.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

Started working on character designs for Massacre At The Mirage 2. I have so many cool character ideas for this last game. Thought I would share this early version of "Hutch," one of the main protags. This is just the first draft. The final version will come soon! 🤘 #indiegame #indiegamedev #PSX

Tainted Pact Games @taintedpactgames.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

Steam’s new personal calendar widget is no joke. The Skin Stapler has gotten thousands of new wishlist in the last couple of days. Indie devs don't sleep on this new feature. It an absolute killer tool for your game leading up to release. #indiegamedev #indiegame

Woke up and saw that Steam approved The Skin Stapler game build on the first submission! Very few things feel as cool as seeing those triple green-approved banners and the green "Release App" button. I could technically press that button right now if I wanted 😉 #indiegame #indiegamedev
