I love this, such a relatable sight. I now have nostalgia for a traffic jam.

Iโ€™m doing something similar where you are left in the wake of a rapture, and itโ€™s weird and doesnโ€™t feel like a good thing to get raptured haha

Literally got locked out of my twitter account today right when have edited a snippet of gameplay footage from Cryptica to showcase. Guess itโ€™ll be a Bluesky exclusive!

โ€œThe Canines of Crypticaโ€

Must put dogs into all my video games. Itโ€™s a personal rule I must always abide by.

The secret planetary bunkers are scattered all across the desolate lands of Antarctica. There are 10 in total. If you manage to unlock them, macabre horrors await.

(These are all optional side quests)

Haha ๐Ÿ˜‚ yes itโ€™s fairly outrageous. Iโ€™ll get the other one level soon as I can.

Fired up my PC and Unreal Engine for the first time since I moved today. Marginal progress was made on Cryptica.

Put in my 2 weeks notice at my video editing job and after that itโ€™s full force/full time game development!

Iโ€™m creating an in game book in my video game. Pages will be scattered around Antarctica for players to discover and decipher.

This is on steam for wishlists.

He acts like the average blue collar worker is somehow involved in raking in the massive profits of corporate America.

A reference image and the current implementation in game. Megalophobia inducing landscapes are my specialty.

Haha, yeah YouTube is such a grind, you gotta be all in or nothing. Iโ€™ve had an account since 2009 and Iโ€™m at 2.2k subs and any new uploads get zero traction. But my channel is a hodgepodge of production work and short films and music videos and more recently my game trailers/play-throughs.

This is true! Itโ€™s a way to build anticipation/long form marketing but getting the right eyes on it is a challenge in it of itself. If you have a good YouTube following already it might be worth it, but itโ€™s a lot of work to push it out vlogs regularly, make sure itโ€™s worthwhile & track engagement.

I made the compromise and set up a sub on reddit that outlines my progress in a much less formal way, clips screenshots and updates. Keeps me accountable for progress too!

I feel like doing a dev log on-top of making your own game is sorta self sabotage in terms of progress you made vs what couldโ€™ve been done without the dev log time suck. I have a background on film so Iโ€™ve been tempted to do it, but free time is too rare a resource for me these days.
