In order to be certain of an entities presence, it's important to capture a photo. #gamedev #indiedev #horror

While investigating, your camera might catch somethingโ€ฆ unexpected. These strange white orbs seem to dart across the handheld camera's screenโ€”are they just dust, or something watching you? #GameDev #indie #horror

Spent all week trying to build an extendable system for spawning button prompts when they are needed but ended up just having them already in the scene and enabling them.. :p .Also working on a cursor for gamepad peeps to be able to interact with the environment ๐Ÿคซ #indiedev #gamedev #horror

I'm currently in the process of transitioning my project to the new input system in Unity (is it still referred to as the NEW input system nowadays?). Additionally, I'm ensuring that the menus are easily navigable! #gamedev #indiedev #horror

The ghosts in 'Paranormal investigator' aren't just passive entities, intrude on their territory for too long, or rile them up by asking invasive questions and it could be your end.. #gamedev #indiedev #horror

The upstairs is slowly coming along!
I underestimated how much furniture there is in homes that needs to be modelled..
I think I need to take a break and work on some gameplay again! #gamdev #indiedev #horror

Just before christmas, I added in being able to turn on and off lights for the player... and the ghost. As well as a flashlight, so you can still see what's happening in the dark! #gamedev #indiedev #horror

This week I made a placement system for the REM pod in my ghost investigation game so players can place it down and use other equipment while they wait for interactions with it. Super happy with how it turned out! #gamedev #indiedev

Paranormal Investigator by smallhorns Ghost hunting

I posted the current prototype on itch io and of course, I forgot to check it actually functioned before sleeping and realised it had a major bug ๐Ÿ˜… #gamedev #indiedev

The video after this will be going more into the technical aspect of the mechanics.

The first topic is the ghost AI!

Currently using blender to model the first level of my new game, and I'm slowly realising I have no idea what I'm doing.

Hey๐Ÿ‘‹! My name's Harvey and I'm a solo indie developer ๐ŸŽฎ currently working on my first game!

What is it?
It's a ghost hunting game, centred around investigating ghosts that have suddenly begun appearing and uncovering the mystery of their deaths in order to let them finally rest. #gamedev
