If you’re part of any creative groups, unions or other organisations in the uk you should be passing news like this along and spreading the world. News like this gets has the chance to be overlooked but if enough organisations kick up a fuss things can change.

Doesn’t need one (other than performance) but it would be great to have more shadow casting lights.

Definitely not! And I'm not letting it anywhere near my visuals, or music, or preproduction either.

Receptacle if you are placing something in it or if it's designed to hold something.

This is so damn frustrating! Color and Light is one of my favourite art reference books, I would never have imagined he would get into that garbage.

Thank you! There should be more games inspired by Argento and Bava :)

Haha, I appreciate you sticking with it! I had played it so much over the last year, I thought it was going to be too fast and easy for people, but I definitely misjudged that.

Dead Format Demo now on Itch!
A first-person survival horror game with live action film clips.
It's a love letter to different eras of horror films and inspired by a time of horror censorship in the UK (unfortunately this feels oddly relevant again today).

I try to get an hour or two of mad scientist time in each week to experiment with some weird idea.

This week it's a pint glass full of water with a hydrophonic microphone inside a broken speaker cab and dragging rubber mallets on the side to make some weird creature sounds!
