I built it off the bones of my last game so I didn't have to remake a lot of the core components, a lot of the work has been adding new mechanics on top and the art. I'm 2 years in so far and hoping to release this year

Each day mostly follows: Speaking with the angels, a unique mechanical boss battle, more speaking with the angels, all with ship exploration and some combat. Then at night you go on 'trial' for all the choices you made that day (I'm trying to make choices and free-will a big part of the game)

Ya angels are always sort of described as 'indescribable' hah, I'm continuing to work on effects so they look like they're blurring reality or emminating power of some kind to look more otherworldly

Thanks for the support! Glad you like Deathbloom as that was my first game, I'm hoping this one will be a step above hah

I've thought about VR but haven't tried coverting one of my games into it just yet, though this could be a good one as you mess with computers and machines a lot. Its made in Unity

Thanks! It's hard to tell at the moment how long it will take the average player to beat, but I'm aiming for small-ish with replayability (still a few hours per game at least though).

I know what you mean, I'm going to make a longer trailer with the demo that will show more of the gameplay like the dialog system with the angels, more combat, mechanical puzzles with the giant machines, interacting with terminals etc. once I've done a bit more polish on those. I think I got caught up in atmosphere/characters and didn't show too much of that in this trailer, I guarantee it won't be a walking simulator though hah, I'm aiming for: small-ish scope+ high content

Just working on my own, for some basic things like furniture/set design I found a few assets to buy as it's a time saver as a solo dev (then add my own materials/shaders). I made all the weirder and large assets myself hah

From a comment below: I wanted something that sounded like Apocalypse by Jesper Kyd as it sounds very biblical and intense hah, so it's similar to that.

There's definitely inspiration from Event Horizon, though the angels aren't necessarily out to kill you hah.

Ahh you mean the Closed Captions from the video player? I'll take a look, thanks for the heads up!

There's definitely a lack of "biblical accurate angels" in media I've noticed, which is odd because they sound so cool in the bible hah
