Today was key-making day for MARASHNA. 🔑 Three individual keys and one three-part key are now modeled. Slowly replacing more of the placeholders with actual game assets. #indiedev #gamedev #MARASHNA

It’s been a while since MARASHNA showed up here, but development hasn’t stopped. A little before & after: greybox → first art pass. Still missing decals, grime and plenty of smaller details, but it’s finally starting to come together. 👀 #indiedev #gamedev #MARASHNA

We’re here again. Back in the fog. Started Silent Hill: Townfall, and my first impressions are very positive. Beautiful visuals, fantastic sound design, and the atmosphere is already deeply intriguing. I’m hooked.

The lever puzzle prototype for MARASHNA is working. 🔐 6 levers control 11 interconnected doors, forcing the player to think about every move. Taking the key reverses the entire configuration — and changes the way back. #indiedev #gamedev #MARASHNA

The code puzzle prototype for MARASHNA is now fully functional. 🔢 Ten numbered stone plates, three valid combinations, and passages that switch depending on the code entered. Next up: replacing the placeholders with the real doors. #indiedev #gamedev #MARASHNA

Another piece of MARASHNA’s demo is in place. The first version of the crawl system is now working, allowing the player to move through tight spaces as part of level exploration. #indiedev #gamedev #MARASHNA

MARASHNA is starting to take shape. Today I worked on the first playable section: early lighting, environment blockout, destruction mechanics, and core gameplay logic. Still very much a WIP, but it’s slowly coming together. #indiedev #gamedev #MARASHNA

Day 2 of blocking out the MARASHNA demo level. The layout is starting to take shape as I turn the prologue's story into an actual playable space. There's still a lot to build, but I'm happy with how it's coming together. 🎮 #IndieDev #GameDev #MARASHNA

After a week of working out the demo's story, the prologue is finally taking shape. I even had to rethink parts of MARASHNA's main story, but now the writing is done and the demo level blockout has officially begun! 🎮 #IndieDev #GameDev #MARASHNA

4:18 AM just hit 1,000 downloads! 🎉 Our first game reached this milestone 48 days after its release on July 12. We're incredibly grateful to everyone who played it, shared it, or supported us along the way. ❤️ kvitravngames.itch.io/418am #IndieDev #KvitravnGames #Marashna

The Core Player Systems for MARASHNA are finally complete! 🔥 Movement, camera, flashlight, interaction, inventory, inspection, item combination, contextual use, readables and the journal are all working together. Now it's time for level prototyping! 👀 #IndieDev #KvitravnGames #Marashna

The Journal System is almost complete! 📖 Notes, letters and documents can now be collected, organized, inspected in 3D, and read in-game. Just a few final integration tests left! ✅ #IndieDev #KvitravnGames #Marashna

Started building the Readable Documents System today! 📖 Players can inspect notes, letters and documents, rotate them, and read their full text in-game. The foundation for the Journal is now in place! ✅ #IndieDev #KvitravnGames #Marashna

The Contextual Item Use System is complete! 🔑 Players can now use inventory items directly on objects in the world. Another core player system checked off the list! One more foundation before level prototyping! 🔥 #IndieDev #GameDev #KvitravnGames #Marashna

The Item Combination System is complete! 🧩 Players can combine three items in any order to create new ones, including recipes with duplicate ingredients. One more core player system checked off the list! ✅ #IndieDev #GameDev #KvitravnGames #Marashna

The World Inspection System is finally ready! 🔍 Players can inspect objects, discover hidden items, and extract their contents into the inventory. Another major system completed! ✅ #IndieDev #GameDev #UnrealEngine

Hidden item extraction is now working! 🔍 You can find and extract items hidden inside other objects while inspecting them. #gamedev #indiedev #Marashna #KvitravnGames

The 3D inspection system is taking shape! 🔍 3D item previews are now working inside the inventory, including mouse-controlled rotation. #gamedev #indiedev #Marashna #KvitravnGames

The inventory UI is taking shape. 🎒 8 slots, item selection and dynamic item details are now working with the actual inventory system. More work ahead. #gamedev #indiedev #unrealengine #Marashna #KvitravnGames

Inventory foundation is complete. ✔️ 8-slot inventory, item pickup and core operations are now working. Core systems are at 58% — next up is the inventory UI and the remaining gameplay systems. 🎮 #gamedev #indiedev #Marashna

Interaction UI is done. ✔️ Today I also started building the inventory system: 8 slots, item definitions and core query functions are now in place. Tomorrow I'll focus on adding/removing items and connecting it to the player. #gamedev #indiedev #Marashna

Interaction system ✔️ Built, tested and ready. Camera focus, nearby detection, interaction validation and a full prototype test map are now in place. Time to start building real gameplay. #gamedev #indiedev #Marashna #KvitravnGames

The flashlight system is finally in place. 💡 Dynamic shadows, modular settings, smooth camera tracking and full gameplay integration. It already feels like a real part of the game. 🎥 #gamedev #indiedev #unrealengine #KvitravnGames

One more core system completed. ✔️ The first-person camera now supports modular camera motion, breathing, head bob, directional response and event camera shakes. Still a lot to build, but it's already feeling much more alive. #gamedev #indiedev #unrealengine #KvitravnGames

Day 1 of production ✔️ Today I: • Built the FPS character. • Implemented movement & camera controls. • Set up Enhanced Input. • Recorded today's devlog. Step by step, the project is coming to life. 🚀 #gamedev #indiedev #unrealengine #horrorgame #KvitravnGames

Pre-production is complete. Over the past two weeks I: Finished the script. Organized the game design document. Planned the project pipeline. Set up the Git repository and made the first commit. Time to bring this project to life. #gamedev #indiedev #horrorgame #unrealengine #KvitravnGames
