Today is the one year anniversary of the release of the Original Coagulation Station! It's crazy to think it's been that long already...
Some major life events have shaken things up for me lately, but I'm still hard at work on Fleshfall. I'll have more to share about the game soon!

I was mainly going for a general body horror theme, but now that you mention it, they do look pretty similar!

I still need to play Stray, I've heard good things about it

I'm finally getting into designing the environments for Coagulation Station: Fleshfall, and I'm really liking this area is turning out. Let me know you thoughts so far

I might have made the wrench a little too strong...

I'm working on some attack animations for the wrench in my upcoming game Coagulation Station: Fleshfall. I find myself randomly smacking stuff for fun lol

Happy #piday everyone! Here's a shot of the water in my 90s CGI game I've been making in #UnrealEngine for the past little while. The water at least uses #pi in it's math!

Here's a trippy filter I made while experimenting with Color LUTs in #UnrealEngine I was originally trying to match the color depth of some actual 90s renders, but I got a little carried away with what I could do lol

Here's a timelapse of the pulsating effects I've been working on for the sequel of sorts to my horror game Coagulation Station. I'm really liking how gross it's looking so far

I modeled some weird 90s looking Donkey Kong-eque trees to go into the scene. It's some really basic stuff, but it's been a fun side project to work on. All of this is done in #UnrealEngine 5 btw

I've spent all morning tinkering around in #UnrealEngine trying to capture that old 80's-90's #cgi look. As a kid, I always was fascinated by those pre-rendered visuals, so I thought making a real time game in that style would be a lot of fun!

I'm working on a cheap light to use in my #UnrealEngine games going forward. Each is rendered with a special billboard material. I've been able to get over 2,000 overlapping lights in this scene while maintaining 120fps (normal point lights gave me <40fps) #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #solodev

Here's a screenshot I dug up of an old project I was working on a while ago. I really like the atmosphere in this shot; I might adapt it into my next project 👀 #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev #UnrealEngine

Over the span of 3 weeks, I spent my spare time making this little frog game as a surprise gift for my partner. The look on her face was priceless when I finally got to show it to her ❤️

You can try a demo of it here! thebigonioninstitute.itch.io/mr-frogs-win...

Messing around making some gross materials in UE. I think this one turned out the best (worst?) #indiegame #gamedev #UnrealEngine
