A brief visit to the now closed Hydrotherapy Staff Elevators. How on earth do you get to hydrotherapy if the elevator is off? And whats the big room I can't get to back there? Ah well.. #indiegame #indiedev #ue5 #horrorgame #followfriday

Tearing things down helps. Eximate Space in Asylum Level 1 was too light and airy, with no narrow corridors, so it’s gone. The replacement is Edwardian: winding, awkward and liminal. Favourite liminal space? #TheOuterIslands #GameDev #UnrealEngine #LiminalSpaces #EnvironmentArt
