I was lucky enough to chat with the creator of DEEP STATE, one of the most promising indie retro FPS games I've seen. We talked about the wild influences behind it, from GoldenEye to John Carpenter's The Thing, and how those classics helped shape the game's identity. 🧵

It's #ShowcaseThursday. May I introduce you to my very first game, The Hush Man. A short, classic pixel art horror adventure inspired by creepypastas, urban legends and Goosebumps. Steam page coming soon.

I just cut a huge mechanic from my game and scrapped a monster design I loved... and honestly? It feels amazing. Good game design is knowing when to kill your darlings for the sake of the project. #gamedev #pixelart

Spent the last 2 days tweaking the main character for my retro horror game and honestly? Worth every second. He's finally looking right. Feedback super welcome. What do you think? #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

Heroes are chosen. Not for their Courage, since fear haunts us all. Not for their Skill, as the path to glory lies littered with the capable fallen. Not for their Luck, for any fool can win or lose to the fickle of fortune. Heroes are chosen by fate, and fate alone.

This, to this day, is still my favorite sequel of all time. Totally did a 180-shift, which completely caught fans off guard. The story was great. The new game play was fantastic. And they still kept the core platforming elements. I freaking love Jak II, dawg.

The best Jak game, and Naughty Dog's magnum opus. I will die on this hill.
