The Hightown Bank provides numerous amenities to its clients as they wait for their services, including a lavish concert hall. Enjoy live music and know your valuables are secured in the high security vault. #gloomwood #screenshotsaturday

@Sinnoware This specific challenge is why the ring exists in Gloomwood. At first we talked about just letting the player deduce their visibility from the environment and view model illumination but the chaotic nature of baked lighting made that really unintuitive and frustrating

@Sinnoware I think he has a point in general, but wrt Thief the baked lighting was already doing light bounces and indirect illumination, which is why you rely on the light gem primarily vs just diegetic shadow boundaries. In theory a path traced Thief wouldn't be any better or worse.

This was a really cool watch! Someone went and reviewed all the games I made pre-Steam. There are some baffling design decisions in some of these that I'd forgotten all about lol

Howdy there, @DUSKdev ! I just saw a video on YouTube by a video maker I like regarding some of your oldest games developed and figured you might be interested in watching it as well: youtube.com/watch?v=WJ8tk0… It's fascinating to see your roots. I hope you continue making stuff!

Also this area and runback are 100% distilled pain. The fact that the enemies suddenly get 2x faster when they're a certain range from you is the cherry on top.

Markiplier's horror movie IRON LUNG will debut at home on May 31, 2026. It'll be exclusively available for purchase on YouTube. The self-distributed independent horror movie scared up $50 million at the box office earlier this year.
