Grand Theft Auto 4 with Path Tracing - what a time to be alive! How did one of the most notoriously "bad" PC ports get to this point in 2025? How did modder xoxor4d get RTX Remix to work with GTA 4? Does GTA 4 on PC deserve its frankly terrible reputation? Find out in this vid!

A friend of mine has sculpted and modelled this sweet Skull Fox creature for Curse of Cards.

I’m going to call them Raglan.

They’re going to be a sort of Cheshire Cat character, chiding the player.

I can't believe I'm lucky enough to work with such talented Illustrators as Jacob McFadden on Curse of Cards!

The Mouse Familiar is a small but mighty attachment.

Getting some vibes together in Curse of Cards.

#gamedev #indiegame #cardgame #dungeoncrawler #ue5

This week on Curse of Cards, I’ve mostly been doing environment art.

The gist of the game:
“What if the 2D map in Slay the Spire or Inscryption was a 3D space you could walk around and explore between matches?”

#ScreenshotSaturday #gamedev #indiegame #cardgame #ue5 #DungeonCrawler

Some believe that Megalithic standing stones of ancient Britain and Gaul represent points where the veil between worlds is thinnest...

In Curse of Cards, these act as your waystones in the library.

New Curse of Cards illustration incoming!

A bit different to the more mystical folklore creatures we've had - Fionn Jordan has arted us a one of my favourite British birds of prey, the Kestrel.

I’m making environment art for Curse of Cards.
It’s quite meditative - both to create and to watch.

A pocket of Ma,
emptiness between the claps,
space for thought to breathe.

… it’s snowing on Mt Fuji.

I'm very fortunate to have another talented artist - Onyrix - create an illustration for Curse of Cards.

This time it's the Prince of Theives himself, Robin Hood!

*Eva intensifies*

I've had a fun week on Curse of Cards making environment art.

Setting myself up with foliage and modular pieces to munge different room variations for this cosmic library.

Plus, Ben's made more music!

Behold!
Curse of Cards has a minimap now.

It's inspired by Metroid Prime's lovely little isometric display (with an added bit of perspective so you don't randomly go cross-eyed while staring at it).

#screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiegame #cardgame #dungeoncrawler #ue5

Aw, I love this so much!
The dice noise is so crunchy and satisfying!
The bird ambience is a lovely touch, too 👌

The game is looking beautiful! It inspired me to practice my sound design.

Thanks!
I got the idea to use Unreal’s terrain system for the water mesh from Sword of the Sea.

🙏

Thank you so much!
The vibe is important to me 🤤

OK, I need to stop.

Curse of Cards *probably* doesn't need this much interactive water.

#screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiegame #cardgame #dungeoncrawler #ue5

Making interactive shaders in Curse of Cards is my happy place.
I want to eat the water.

#screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiegame #cardgame #dungeoncrawler #ue5

Cheers, that’s a good sign 😁

OK, here's my first bash at target-based movement in Curse of Cards where the player blueprint evaluates nodes in-range.

This way we can have free camera movement while still retaining the dungeon crawler grid-based movement.

#gamedev #indiegame #cardgame #dungeoncrawler #ue5

Or just free look!
Then just have an in-world indicator to show where on the grid you’ll move to when you press forwards.

Thanks Ellie!

This is a great point!

Maybe I can look into the turning mechanics on-grid then.
Perhaps being able to move diagonally, but still fundamentally from grid point to grid point would help.

The main thing is how disorientating it is turning 90° everywhere.

I'm trying free movement instead of grid-based for Curse of Cards.
Whaddya reckon?

Pros: Better interaction with water and foliage; less disorientating; rooms can be any shape.

Cons: You lose the vibe.

Curse of Cards is slowly getting some variation in the environment.
Still lots to do, but it's nice seeing something other than sandy ruins.

#gamedev #indiegame #cardgame #dungeoncrawler #ue5

Implemented biomes on the dungeon floors for Curse of Cards!

It’s just a colour change for now, but having rooms grouped together thematically should help players orient themselves when wandering about.
