Issue from @fearzinemagazine.com arrived! Can't wait to dive into all the horror news, games and creators! Maybe I'll save it for my vacation reading soon 😊
Oh, and Confronted is in there! 😍
#indiegame #horror
I wish I actually played games more often, but always find myself developing Confronted instead.
I know this might be envious to some! But there are so many great games coming out I wish I had time to play, but it always feels more 'productive' designing mine!

Can't wait for 28 years later in cinema! Loved 28 days and weeks later. Anyone else excited?

There are a few boring parts of game dev. One of them is doing all the string tables 😴 At least I can listen to music while doing it 🎵

One of the most intimidating aspects of working on a live Early Access game is making sure I DO NOT f*ck up the saved progression for players. I'd hate to accidentally break the game so returning players had to start over for example 🥵

Haha you got it. Will do! 👽
Hey gamers! 👋
I've been developing Confronted for nearly 2 years.
Chapter 2 comes out later this year.
Any help to spread the word would be brilliant; repost, like, wishlist etc.
See the game here on Steam: shorturl.at/TW5f5

Can anyone guess what board game I'm playing tonight?

Confronted is a first-person survival horror game where you need to craft your own hideouts to survive against unspeakable terrors within Radu Castle.
Its new Chapter 2 update is coming soon:
I find myself procrastinating most when it comes to 'writing' for @confrontedgame.bsky.social
Writing beat sheets, story, journals, VO...
But I can't stop whiteboxing & environment design!
What areas do you procrastinate most in, #solodev #indiedev ? If at all?!
It takes me around 1 to 1.5 years to create an hour of content for @confrontedgame.bsky.social, as a solo dev.
If I wanted to do a 35 hour game... do the maths 😂
That's why Confronted will be a solid 3hr experience by full release :)

When I dress a room in @confrontedgame.bsky.social I generally think, "Is this screenshot worthy?"
If the answer is "Yes!" it's usually a good place to leave it and move on.

For designing @confrontedgame.bsky.social I often use the following docs to help me keep on track. Lifesavers!

It's time to do some piano recording for Cutscene 1 of Chapter 2 on @confrontedgame.bsky.social
#solodev #indiegame
Fun fact! The most compared game to @confrontedgame.bsky.social is Amnesia: The Dark Descent! Fun fact 2: I didn't play much of the game! 😲

I think one piece of advice I have for aspiring solo/game devs:
Be prepared to play your game THOUSANDS of times. Perhaps get a role in QA just to embrace the repetition. Or just replay a game loads as if it was a job. Still got the motivation?

100% Faye! It always gets updates too. Been a good DAW for me for years now 😊
Getting the voice actors' lines into @Confrontedgame is fairly straightforward:
- I use REAPER (it's free!) to trim the lines.
- Add a compression if there's a peak that needs lowering.
- Render it out using 44.1khz, mono and 16 bit.
- Pop it into the game!

Just finished watching Baby Reindeer on @netflix.com
Absolutely beautiful, traumatic, engaging series. Highly recommended.

These are the type of scripts I send to Voice Actors in @confrontedgame.bsky.social. Context, intensity and emotion per line. Story notes where applicable. The more info the better, to reduce retakes.

Thank you 😊
