Games + Performances Part of Fantasia Malware Making The House Before and The Abyssal Diplomat
The first trailer for The Abyssal Diplomat is done! In the game you play as an awkward puppet who specializes in conflict management between humans and monsters. Please repost and wishlist, it would mean a lot 🙏 store.steampowered.com/app/3946640/... #indiegames #gamedev
Finally got around to play Sudden Death. Highly recommended! dominoclub.itch.io/sudden-death Also all the games by @haraiva.bsky.social are great, some of the best writing out there imo
For those of you in Paris - I will be performing the French version of LANDLORDS at Jardin des Traverses this saturday (06.06) at 19:00!
I reworked the scene where the Diplomat is coming out of its hole. A bit darker, with more contrast and warmer colors. #indiegames #gamedev #IndieGame #ScreenshotSaturday
Working on a new scene - the "Court in the Sky" - for the finale of The Abyssal Diplomat.
I forgot this video plane in the back of my level - looks kinda nice
Here's a video of me performing at HAU in Berlin last March. The game is called LANDLORDS and is about... you guessed it... landlords. I will work on a new version in the next months and hopefully get to perform it again.
Finally got around playing "Game" by @joshuaroland.itch.io uaroland.itch.io and the "Yuha’s Nightmares" demo by @suprsupr.bsky.social Both are amazing, highly recommended!
Prototyping a new dialog - the eyes will be movable and used as a selection device
Still working on cutscenes for the House Before. This one reveals the true face of a cute character you encounter before. > store.steampowered.com/app/1779750/... #wishlistwednesday #indiegames #gamedev #blender
Some discarded Alien I made once. Its ship was a teleporting board game.
All the different UIs I tried for the hub world of The House Before over the years... I will never use those, so it's nice to at least dump them here. #ScreenshotSaturday #IndieGame #GameDev
A little reminder that The House Before will be released sometimes this year (date TBA) In the meantime, every wishlist helps a lot! store.steampowered.com/app/1779750/... #wishlistwednesday #indiegames #gamedev
A short incremental mini-game where you pump just about everything from, memories to regrets #IndieGameDev #screenshotsaturday #indiegame
An old menu I made for the House Before ages ago. Wondering if I should use it again for something
If you're in Berlin, you should come to the next Fantasia Malware show this Friday and Saturday! We will show 3 new game performances by Chloê Langford, Jira Duguid and me. Tickets here: www.hebbel-am-ufer.de/programm/pde...
If you're in Berlin in March you should come to the next Fantasia Malware show! Tickets here: www.hebbel-am-ufer.de/en/programme...
You wonder: what is there outside of your walls? Has there ever been a world beyond your flesh? If you wanna know, wishlist>> store.steampowered.com/app/1779750/... #wishlistwednesday #indiegames #gamedev
The Runner goes adventuring into the depth of the Pantry. #indiedev #screenshotsaturday
Some cool games I played recently: - Chiaroscuro Imago (howling-stars.itch.io/chiaroscuro-...) - NOTHERE RN (minime1212.itch.io/nothere-rn) - Biophobia (store.steampowered.com/app/3702510/...) - Sanctuary (officialelectric.itch.io/sanctuary)
Did you always want to be a House instead of a flesh puppet with agency, busy friends and taxes to file? Here's your chance: store.steampowered.com/app/1779750/... #indiegames #gamedev
