Flywheel Games

Tough night on the raft😮‍💨 #horror #indiegame

@devaaryaj That's right, it will have big waves once I'll setup the correct wind system

@GamesFlywheel Looks great but was very anti climactic really felt a need for wave physics.

Intro of my indie game

Stress-testing the infinity of the ocean ♾ #IndieGameDev

@paulavaynshteyn In a way, LAB LVL returned to its roots of the very first prototype - x.com/gamesflywheel/…

@paulavaynshteyn Hello! There were other beta-testers who highlighted a lot of aspects that felt questionable for the game, so I cut them. Creative process frequently lead to bad design decisions, so it’s pretty normal for games during early stages to shape shift.

After a month of experiments and hard work, the game now has a fully functional laboratory and has returned to its roots as a first-person simulator and aquatic adventure. I'm thrilled to build something close to the game I truly adore—Subnautica 🐟 #IndieGameDev #indiegame

a dope sci-fi ride to cruise the deep blue #indiegame #gamedev

I'll post an updated demo version on itch.io once the "submerge" aspect is fully developed. With Steam it will be a bit later this summer for a store page, and this year for the full release

Steam didn't allow me to rename the game, so the LAB LVL page will soon disappear from Steam. It is still live on flywheelgames.itch.io/lab-lvl

The puzzle looks like an IQ test 😄

Adding a hidden path to the depths of LAB LVL 🤓

@thomasbrushdev @reidhannaford Actually do the same thing every time in Unreal as well, and it's logical - you don't want 1M shells in the ocean to cast shadows if player doesn't care

@reidhannaford It's unlikely now that I know shadows are the problem, not real time lights

In the midst of optimizing Twisted Tower still. Just wanted to share a huge insight I learned. And yes, I know this is a DUH thing. Shadows are brutal. They kill performance. Good rule of thumb: disable EVERY single mesh and light from casting shadows (assuming you are not baking lightmaps). Period. Then, when you're level is *done*, you go in an find those few lights and meshes that really need shadows. Insane performance boost. If you really need a lot of shadows, bake those specifically

Creepy artistic #IndieGameDev

@giza_666 A bit late for Next Fest, but wish you could play LAB LVL too! store.steampowered.com/app/3617180/LA…

Hi! My name is Giza, I'm a streamer and I love indie and horror games, and especially indie horror games! Once again I want to explore #SteamNextFest if you want to suggest any demos from the fest I will be more than happy to stream it ^_^ #indiedev #indiegame #horrorgame

@atombraingames Congrats! 🥂

Dreams in the Witch House just hit 300 reviews on Steam🎊🪩 🥂 THANK YOU everyone who left a review 🙏 It may not be much when compared to bigger titles, but for me personally it's a huge achievement.
