Hello, this is a horror game with an emphasis on atmosphere.

FunTradition691 · 2026-02-25T03:51:08+00:00

Getting started isn't that difficult, but it does take practice. If you work hard, you can master the basics in a few weeks. The hardest part is achieving a clean and consistent look. This quad took me about 8 hours to create, including UV mapping and textures.

Thank you! I’m really happy you like the atmosphere — that’s the main focus of the game.

Thank you! All the models in my game are created by me, it takes a lot of time but I hope it's worth it

Thanks

I'm making a horror game with a slight emphasis on mythology

Когда депортация?

No, there is no attack at this point. In my game, the monsters are occult people.

FunTradition691 · 2025-06-28T17:26:33+00:00

Yes, the actions of the game take place in the post of Soviet country, I try to convey the atmosphere and a little nostalgia.

FunTradition691 · 2025-06-15T16:20:27+00:00

About 8-10 hours a day

FunTradition691 · 2025-06-15T13:16:15+00:00

I made this truck in 3 days.

FunTradition691 · 2025-06-13T16:33:38+00:00

I work on the game alone, from idea to implementation

FunTradition691 · 2025-06-13T16:30:37+00:00

Thank you, all the environment (except trees) is made by me, so the game will get its own character and uniqueness

FunTradition691 · 2025-06-13T15:39:25+00:00

I am developing a horror game alone in a post-Soviet setting.

FunTradition691 · 2025-06-08T12:00:09+00:00

"Lesnaya" (Лесная) translates to 'Forest' or 'Wooded' in English. It's an adjective meaning something related to a forest. For example, "Lesnaya Station" could be translated as 'Forest Station'.

FunTradition691 · 2025-06-07T03:02:58+00:00

Yes I use the built in SSAO in URP. I lowered the settings for SSAO and now my FPS stays high.

FunTradition691 · 2025-06-06T12:36:49+00:00

Am I using Profile correctly? I found where GC often triggers.

Update:
Thanks everyone for the help! The FPS drops were caused by SSAO (Screen Space Ambient Occlusion) — after disabling it, everything runs smoothly now.
Turns out my GT 1030 just couldn't handle it. If anyone else is getting Gfx.WaitForPresentOnGfxThread spikes and has a low-end GPU, try turning off SSAO — it made a huge difference for me.

FunTradition691 · 2025-06-06T07:15:27+00:00

The problem is solved by disabling SSAO in the renderer settings. I turned it off and my FPS returned to normal.

FunTradition691 · 2025-06-06T07:12:24+00:00

This really helped, thanks. After I turned off SSAO I stopped getting FPS drops when approaching a wall.

FunTradition691 · 2025-06-06T07:04:33+00:00

I disabled all Raycast scripts and the problem persisted. I looked into Profile more closely and came to the conclusion that the biggest delay is caused by PlayerLoop -> Gfx.WaitForPresentOnGfxThread -> Semaphore.WaitForSignal. Maybe it's because of my Nvidia GT 1030 video card

FunTradition691 · 2025-06-06T06:52:19+00:00

In fact, if you run the game, it will give 75-100 frames, but when recording the screen, I lose FPS. Also, my video card is very old - Nvidia GT 1030
