Malformation Games Malformation Games is a newly formed development studio inspired by the games of old. With a retro aesthetic and a unique take on horror, Malformation intends to celebrate a classic era of gaming wit...

My pleasure - We even have a Youtube channel with some (older) footage on there - www.youtube.com/@malformatio...

I take my commitment to build patch notes very seriously.

Oooh I'll have to check it out!

TL;DR - we got money and a publisher to make more cool stuff and actually finish the game

There's a scene in our game where you're on a lighthouse, watching power be restored to Busan in the distance.

I came up with this effect to feel "low poly ish" but still have high detail and it's cool that the lights can come on "in sequence" instead of all at once.

Thank you! Always good to see you giving support 🙏

For those who know Unreal animation blueprints, if an ABP is a template instead of assigned to a specific skeleton, it is not possible in 5.4 to reference any animation slot groups other than "Default", right?

Who's excited for Fearzine #3?

Well, we are excited to reveal the cover art (WIP) featuring Ground Zero by @malformation.bsky.social with custom art by @RGroph! (Work-in-progress)

Working on the main menu for Ground Zero, a post-apoc Korean survival horror, trying to give the Press Start screen some personality. Shortened for Bsky 60 second limit.

Sound on!

Check out our profile and wishlist if you like retro survival horrors with tank controls and pre-rendered BGs!

Merry Christmas! We have dinosaurs in our Korean post-apocalyptic fixed cam survival horror! A wishlist from you would be really appreciated!

If only my to do list for games I want to make wasn't a million miles long already 😭

Grabbed a bundle. Happy Christmas!

My goal is to sell 10 bundles! If you want some music (40 tracks) and wanna help me out, check it out! Links below!

Sure! The flashlight in alone in the dark 4 is actually what inspired me to push to get that working in ground zero. I'll try and find some time over the Christmas period to make a "how it's done" video

An all too familiar situation 😤

Figured out a way to do muzzleflashes that light up the background.

Our game is pre-rendered, meaning that the background and environment is fully 2D. The only thing 3D is the character and the rain. So it's pretty neat!

Thanks! Yeah, we intend to bring to xbox and PlayStation

No, I don't open files from strangers. Feel free to put pics here of your setup though

No worries. Good luck

If for whatever reason you want to use a different trace channel (and you probably don't) then you have these options too, but try that as a last resort honestly

EnableClickEvents on the player controller you mean? Yeah that's needed. My enemies responded to clicking them when I set my Enemy's capsule collision to "Block" on visibility. Depending on your setup, you may need to do the same. Final setup to get it working was this:

Is your capsule part of another actor? With your setup, it works for me to click on a TriggerCapsule actor. What's your capsule? Let me know and I'll try to reproduce your setup.

We'd like to be included! We're making a 00s style pre-rendered survival horror

Our pre-rendered retro survival horror of course features unlockable costumes.

But not only that, you can unlock other things like new headgear!

Nemesis deserved better 😭
