Today, Citizen Pain is officially on Steam! My dream of releasing my own action game is finally coming true. I’ve been working hard on the trailer over the past month, I hope you like it! 🎮 Wishlist it now on Steam: 🛒:store.steampowered.com/app/3752240/Ci… #CitizenPain #gamedev #indiegame

Play it now on Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/3752240/Ci…

Citizen Pain is 30% off during Steam’s Medieval Games Sale. Don’t miss out, the offer lasts until May 4!

2/2 If you’d like to support what I do, please consider buying or wishlisting my previous game, Citizen Pain. Thanks for the support! store.steampowered.com/app/3752240/Ci…

1/2 I’m currently testing lip sync implementation on the characters. For the level design, I’m experimenting with combat rooms that allow the player to approach enemies from different angles and elevations, creating multiple paths. #gamedev #indiedev #unrealengine #indiegame

@SoulesSwordsman Haven’t played it, but I bet you haven’t tried Citizen Pain! I'm the dev, here’s the Steam page: store.steampowered.com/app/3752240/Ci…

Been looking for a souls like I haven’t played to jump into, And was wondering if Thymesia is worth playing ?? Don’t know much about the game

2/2 and I’ve added some missing SFX, like explosion sounds. The goal is to further immerse the player during exploration. Additionally, I’ve updated the enemy hit animations and added voice overs for when you interact with NPCs (yes, there are NPCs to rescue in this game).

1/2 These past weeks haven’t seen much progress on the gameplay side, but I focused on the ambient audio. Each room features distinct sounds, such as wind or running water, #gamedevelopment #gamedev #indiedev #unrealengine #UE5 #indiegame #indiegamedev

@undeadchro Thank you!

@CaprioloOrdnas This is looking so good!

So it’s official: my first commercial indie title, Citizen Pain, has launched and is now available on Steam! #CitizenPain #gamedevelopment #gamedev #indiedev #unrealengine #UE5 #indiegame #Steam

@WillsSpangler Thank you very much for the support! 🙏🏻

Go support the dev on their page @CaprioloOrdnas. The game is available now on Steam so go check it out: store.steampowered.com/app/3752240/Ci…

This solo indie dev is making a first-person Medieval brawler with souls-like combat. - Master skillful combat with your choice of weapon - Learn to wield the magic of Pain - Conquer the Undead King. Its called Citizen Pain. Would you play this?

@SerociaR @CaptainMarooner 2/2 There’s also a level timer pushing you to move quickly, and even if you play for survival, the game is designed to be replayed, getting the best score requires being aggressive and making more use of parries.

@SerociaR @CaptainMarooner 1/2 Unlike modern action games, here the enemies are much more numerous and surround you in closed combat rooms, which forces you to constantly manage movement and spacing even with the dash.

1/2 Over the past few weeks, I’ve been working on refining the frame data of attacks across the different weapons. The goal was to make their startup overall faster, and also switching weapons now feels much more responsive. #gamedev #indiedev #unrealengine #UE5 #indiegame

@SinSchism Thanks a lot, I really appreciate it!

@CaprioloOrdnas This looks unbelievably good.

@c3llf0nWPS Thank you!

@CaprioloOrdnas Si Far so good 🛡️

@6___0 Definitely! There will be a demo for Steam Next Fest!

@CaprioloOrdnas a short demo wouldnt hurt

2/2 I’m also implementing several improvements based on player feedback from my previous title, Citizen Pain. These include a difficulty selector and the removal of super armor for enemies, at least on the lower difficulty settings.

@Landry_GD Thanks!

@CaprioloOrdnas Smart design choice.

1/2 I’m working on the layouts for the next levels, starting from my previous game Citizen Pain. But this time I’m adding shortcuts and new rooms with items to collect, to encourage exploration. #gamedevelopment #gamedev #indiedev #unrealengine #UE5 #indiegame #indiegamedev

@hollowsound_ Thanks a lot, I really appreciate it! You can reach out to me via email: capriolo.dev@gmail.com

@CaprioloOrdnas Love this man :D is there a way that i could reach out to you ?

@KettuGames Thank you!

@CaprioloOrdnas Cool

2/2 Even just modifying the layouts of the existing levels is a lot of work. Because of that, in some levels I might add checkpoints instead of Souls-like shortcuts.
