The main menu is coming along nicely. It has a looping cinematic in the background,and I'm trying to make it feel a bit more stylish by adding fades and a stinger sound that triggers when you select New Game or Continue. #CitizenPain2 #gamedev #indiedev #unrealengine #indiegame

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

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

I'm currently working on the opening cinematic for Citizen Pain II. The first shot is an establishing shot, meant to show the player where the action takes place and set the tone. #CitizenPain2 #gamedevelopment #gamedev #indiedev #unrealengine #UE5 #indiegame #indiegamedev

1/2 I’ve started placing collectible items in slightly less obvious locations, and I’ve also fixed their lighting. Next, for this room, I want to make it feel a bit more ‘unsafe’ to make it more fun in the future. #CitizenPain2 #gamedevelopment #gamedev #indiedev

I'm currently implementing elevators that take you to areas where you can unlock shortcuts throughout the level. Besides their level design purpose, their slow movement up and down also serves as a way to give the game enough time to stream in the upcoming rooms. #indiedev

1/3 I’ve updated the level’s music: there is now an exploration track and a separate combat track. I also slightly adjusted the style to make it more atmospheric. #CitizenPain2 #action #gamedevelopment #gamedev #indiedev #unrealengine #UE5 #indiegame #indiegamedev

1/2 I added a couple of new sound effects for interacting with the levers that open doors. I also spent some time tweaking the lighting in several rooms to avoid areas becoming too dark. #CitizenPain2 #action #gamedevelopment #gamedev #indiedev #unrealengine #UE5 #indiegame

Development time for Citizen Pain II has been pretty limited lately, but I still managed to update the weapon icons in the HUD and fix a few gameplay and settings bugs. #CitizenPain2 #action #gamedevelopment #gamedev #indiedev #unrealengine #UE5 #indiegame #indiegamedev

1/3 Implemented combat music that resumes from where it was interrupted, so you don't keep hearing the same section every time a battle starts. #CitizenPain2 #action #gamedevelopment #gamedev #indiedev #unrealengine #UE5 #indiegame #indiegamedev

In Citizen Pain II, you need to be careful when enemies spawn in small rooms. However, in these situations, the heavy attack can be very useful, allowing you to hit multiple enemies at the same time. #CitizenPain2 #gamedevelopment #gamedev #indiedev #unrealengine #UE5 #indiegame

I added various weapons that you'll be able to find throughout the levels. I also polished the potion system by updating the overlay and improving the sound effect when using a potion. #CitizenPain2 #gamedevelopment #gamedev #indiedev #unrealengine #UE5 #indiegame #indiegamedev

1/3 I'm polishing the room lighting and making the atmosphere feel more cohesive. On the gameplay side, I've added a couple of enemies that surprise the player by bombing them from above. #CitizenPain2 #gamedevelopment #gamedev #indiedev #unrealengine #indiegame #indiegamedev

At the beginning of Citizen Pain II, you start without any weapons, and the first weapon you pick up is the dagger. There will be other weapons scattered throughout the level. #CitizenPain2 #action #gamedevelopment #gamedev #indiedev #unrealengine #UE5 #indiegame #indiegamedev

1/3 The game features several side rooms where valuable rewards are surrounded by hazards. These rewards, such as potions and weapons, are meant to feel worthwhile, so players feel rewarded for taking the risk. #gamedevelopment #gamedev #indiedev #unrealengine #UE5 #indiegame

This week I implemented the rolling boulder. It can deal damage to the player, but it can also damage enemies if they get hit by it. I also added some VFX: a bit of smoke when it starts rolling. #CitizenPain2 #gamedevelopment #gamedev #indiedev #unrealengine #UE5 #indiegame

Fighting using only the knife, the first weapon you can pick up in the game. It doesn't deal much damage, but it's incredibly fast. #CitizenPain2 #action #gamedevelopment #gamedev #indiedev #unrealengine #UE5 #indiegame #indiegamedev

I'm currently finishing up the walls that lock the player inside combat rooms. I know it's a bit old-school, but I like making sure players can't just skip fights. #CitizenPain2 #action #gamedevelopment #gamedev #indiedev #unrealengine #UE5 #indiegame #indiegamedev

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
