I'm glad to share my first title : The Bird of the North.

As someone who grew up playing Max Payne, HL2, FEAR and Splinter Cell, I have always loved that dry, rough look. Story wise, we wanted it set in the 90s, inspired by slashers and B-movies of that era.

We used Unity 6.0, so the goal was to make a game that looked modern but nostalgic at the same time.

Some of the workflow/decisions:

* It's got PBR, but we heavily rely on albedo only materials in most places. This 100% goes for buildings (walls, floors) and characters.

* Most props are albedo only too, except a few. For example a surface that we like reflecting some light such as some metals, ceramics or fluids.

* The lighting is a combination of baked and realtime GI. Currently I'm playing around with film grain to make things look a little less "static"

* Soft realtime shadows. I chose this over hard simply because I wanted to keep the game looking "clean". However we use shadow light only is some places where moments feel "cinematic" because I felt it can be distracting with our fixed camera setup.

* Depth of field, especially in cutscenes, really makes it look new and old at the same time imo

* The game is set in the 90s, we use post FX to give it a slightly yellow/beige look.

* The UI is DOS inspired to complete the look! Although we don't have any post FX on the UI.

Our game is a survival horror with puzzles and hiding/stealth that rely on quick navigation to escape. It's got fixed cameras and tank controls.

Also we've got the 90s slasher movie tropes with some campy story and characters!

With new locations and environmental elements, the night atmosphere of my game has also improved.

Solo dev here, making a retro-FPS set in Eastern Europe, 1960s. You wake up in a graveyard behind an abandoned factory and have to fight through crowds of monsters to find out what happened.

Mugged? Robbed? Scavenged? Eye sensors broken and left to the nearest trash pile?

Road Meal is a retro horror/ mystery driving game about delivering various goods for a shipping company...

Not a serious post, just for laughs!

We have a dinner conversation dinner and I figured the protagonist should eat something while talking.

Made a quick low poly lasagna model in blender. The lasagna swaps to a half eaten mesh after a few bites.

Adding this was a little win for the day!

The game is SHOCKFACE for those interested. It's on steam here: https://s.team/a/4705980
