the optimist says it’s half human the pessimist says it’s half monster and the project manager says, “when can we ship it?” my corporate horror comedy game just released! you can grab it on Steam and itch <3 store.steampowered.com/app/2957800/PR… cmddx.itch.io/proximate

This game is so good... I don't talk much about games here but damn it's just so good!! navigating the game world only by a visor that can't even be sure of what it sees? yeah thats totally "ketchup" im seeing also the writing, the sound design!! i cant stop thinking about it

@sboxle 💖🥰

This game is very good and you should play it. Bite sized text-based horror where you navigate a deep sea submarine through an unreliable AI visor that lists what you're looking at with margin for error. store.steampowered.com/app/2957800/PR…

@gert00010badger yep! i don't use it much yet tho bsky.app/profile/cmddx.…

@owenblacker hell yea, keen to know what you think 💖

@ctrlshifti Awesome, good to know. Thank you! I was hoping to play it over the weekend but didn't get a chance; I'm really looking forward to it 💖

@owenblacker there's subtitles for the calls you get from your manager, but since your visual input is quite limited it helps a lot to wear headphones because the audio spatialization can guide you in places where the visor is lacking

@ctrlshifti Out of interest, the game description mentions audio; is there on-screen text available for that (yet?), or should I make sure to remember my headphones? 😅

The VicScreen supported game PROXIMATE is out now on Steam. 🎮Play it today!

surprise! i helped make this! please go play our little horror game! it's much less scary than twitter right now i promise

@CrazyMagicPick2 i shelved it because i got to a point where the story was just too muddled and i had no idea what i was doing with it. it was a fun concept at the time but didn't actually have a solid narrative backbone and i've grown a lot as a gamedev since then

"probably could have timed that better," says dev releasing video game tomorrow

What is called when an ethnic group is forcibly expelled from their homes and land and not allowed to return?

@PoorDunce 💖💖💖

This game has genuinely one of the most creative premises for the horror genre that I've ever seen I absolutely recommend wishlisting this rn & picking it up as soon as it's available for purchase 🙌

(please ignore the release date on the trailer. gamedev is hard)

i'm releasing my game in a few days! it's a horror comedy where you explore an abandoned lab but your only form of navigation is a shitty AI visor <3 store.steampowered.com/app/2957800/PR…

(if you're in a tight place financially and want to be involved in development anyway, shoot me a dm and i can give you access to the build files)
