I'm going to read Wilderness Kitchen while stuffing myself full of Nuts N Stuff chocolate bars. 🍫

A high-tension tower, covered in ice, with power lines fringed in frost. Screenshot from the survival game, BLACKFROST, sequel to THE LONG DARK.

BF team making cold things look cold.

(Reminds me of the Ice Storm in '98.)

Hmm... Is this perhaps related to a new weather type? Freezing rain maybe? 🤔

I'm so surprised, yet I knew we would hear something eventually. It's finally happening! 🥳

I about had a heart attack when I saw it. I'm still shaking!

I've been trying to get lighting, fog, and post processing done just right for a level in a game I'm working on. I'm very new to this. Any tips are appreciated. This is all in blueprints. I'm trying to go for Silent Hill, but a bit darker. #unrealengine #indiedev #sologamedev

Thank you Raphael!

As of the start of this month, I am no longer working for IceVayne Games. I wish I had something to show for the last 5 years with them, but unfortunately nothing ever came of those games. For now, I'm a independent game developer making my own game. I'll share something when I can. #indiegamedev
