Holly - Tired Black Mesa Scientist

I'm now completely happy with the effect, all the bugs, errors and jumpiness are gone! I'm 100% on this, no weirdness, no oddness, everything works from all the angles I'd ever want. All done in camera!

*looks back at hours of miserably failing*

This region is so fun!!

Congrats!!! It's definitely the hardest region so far, so beating it is awesome!

And yeah, I am also excited for the evil hexagons, though compared to the Abyss it's probably *less evil* in totality.

thoughts on inventory and encumbrance system

basics: gradual speed debuff with carry.

you can pick how light or heavy you want to run as part of your build (swappable at any time). and if you run over there's no hard barrier, but there's a gentle reminder to help you hit your build target.

If nobody got me, I know harpoon barnacle got me

Real honestly

Know who you work with! SUBSTRUCTURE 17 UNDERWORKER *doodle of scrungly homunculus with terrible posture and hands in the videogame pose* - neck perpetually craned up - white (knuckle) - vitamin D is enemy propaganda - every day is arm day - omnivorous - wrists can rotate 36000 degrees - not paid for this - hollow bones - on-duty screaming is not approved - artistic soul <3 vent view: *doodle of hands sticking out from between the knees and eyes looking up from the darkness of the vent"

Save 16% on White Knuckle on Steam White Knuckle is a first-person roguelite speed-climbing game. Ascend through the guts of SUB-STRUCTURE 17 using precision movement mechanics. Sharp reflexes and resource management will bring you out...

Not really a sales recommendation (it's only 16% off) but the fantastic White Knuckle just got a big update with several more levels.

A survival horror climbing game about mountaineering your way through a brutalist sci-fi megastructure while being pursued by an all-consuming angry mass of flesh.

YouTube video by DreadXP White Knuckle | The Abyss Release Date Trailer

The Abyss: Coming September 29th!!
New trailer too!!!

Too bad the GOP effectively criminalized studying how information moves online and news orgs laid off and demonized all the reporters who covered the burgeoning online accelerationist performative death cults. All of that work was somehow "censorship" that needed to be stopped. Now we're here.

I've seen quite a few folks talking about wanting to replay Ch1 before Ch2 launches, but wanting to wait for the "2.0 Update"...

Well heck, that update is pretty stable, so I've pushed it out on the public beta branch for anyone interested!

More info:
store.steampowered.com/news/app/168...

Erika this goes so hard, I'd play the hell out of a racing game with this style haha

Look if you haven't played White Knuckle at this point you're doing yourself a disservice. Its great locomotion mechanics let you do death defying parkour through a facility that wants you dead, which results in some truly butt-clenchingly scary moments. I'm so excited to hop back in for more!

Definitely keep your eyes on this one...
