Abide has just over a week left of its campaign and is so close to crossing that line! Cannot imagine a game and a team more deserving of your interest.

For the good of the world, for the benefit of your life, do not miss out on helping to bring this to life

Extreme Stop-Motion Horror Game ‘Abide’ Looks Absolutely Terrifying Indie Kickstarter hopeful 'Abide' could offer one of the best horror gaming concepts in recent years, and certainly one of the most unsettling.

Wrote a quick thing about @taloketo.bsky.social and @king-spooner.bsky.social's Kickstarter hopeful Abide, which I can't stop thinking about.

This one really deserves to hit its modest £25k target on KS (and it's nearly 70% of the way there) - give it a chance!

got impatient with programming and started lighting my scene/staging screenshots. i was very worried everything would get crunched by the low resolution, but selective texture filtering is paying off :)

Okay, how the heck is this not fully funded already? A grimy stop-motion horror adventure from the makers of Judero and Mashina.

Not only do these folks work incredibly efficiently but there's no other team like it.

Adding blinking to characters really brings them to life. What do you think Bluesky?

Really enjoyed playing through the demo for Vholume, new game by one of the Straftat/Babbdi devs and featuring music by 1000 Eyes (Signalis composer).

In love with the architecture, the hidden little snapshots of lives lived in an impossible space.

One of the biggest influences for me with ABIDE are Italian thrillers with their roots in the pulpy, perverse deadliness of the Giallo novels. I think the brazen confidence of a lot of the media in the 1940s has much to say about current predicaments - see Chandler's Philip Marlowe stories.

For everyone who follows this account, you owe it to yourself to check the latest game from Talha and Jack.

To hear them talk about it it's going to be something special and they have given us every reason to fully believe them.

Cannot wait for this one 💪

A moment in Sentimental Value recently reminded me of what I am working on myself, and I look forward to people experiencing it soon

All it takes is me stretching my scene view for me to think "I should make this entire scene 4:3".

No, no you shouldn't. You should just bloody get on with it so I, and you, can all move on.
