Is it a bug? 🐛 Or a feature? 🎮

#gamedev #indiegame #indiedev

We’ve added a dither fade background to our menu UI! 🎮⬛

What could we improve?

#indiegames #indiedev #gamedev

We’ve spent a lot of time implementing key rebinding to ensure our game is accessible to more people.

And of course we had to make sure even the most chaotic players can’t break it! 👾

Coming to life one step at a time!

What else could we try?

Implementing key rebinding is truly a mountain of a task ⛰️

Does anyone have any tips on how to deal with all the different keyboard layouts?

KEROGEN is an oil-drenched psychological #horrorgame where you:

🛢️- Explore a wrecked oil tanker with subnautical drones.
🎣- Dredge up cursed corpses from a surreal oil spill.
🧿- Stir up secrets that should have stayed below.
