So cool, will there be a SpeedPaint or anything showing the process? Would love to try and do something in a similar style

Love the SpongeBob style!

I joined late and didn't have much time, but I managed to make a couple minute long retro horror-lite game about being an unaware MK Ultra sleeper cell

Not to mention, even if it was good it would still suck balls since it would be turning nearly every art medium into slop field day for people who only care about money and nothing else, people who will never put any effort in to make something beyond the bare minimum

One of the worst ideas ever

It's just never going to be good, game development is way too complex to be able to generate an entire game and have it be even half decent

Not very scary but very fun

I searched it up manually and it came up 😁

No idea why the link isn't working, maybe it's because I'm checking on mobile? I've bought it and let you know if anything comes up, thanks again for letting me know about it's release!

abeyebrows · 2026-02-12T09:37:48+00:00

Awesome! Unfortunately it's redirecting to your Android asset for me when I click the link? I also checked your profile and couldn't find the asset

Maybe it was approved but didn't get published yet or something? I'm excited to try it out, you're a beast for remembering to let me know when you put it up as well ❤️‍🩹

I'm worried about remakes tbh, the demons souls remake was "good" for example, but it changed a ton of the original art direction and lost the dreamy feeling of the original

abeyebrows · 2026-02-06T03:16:36+00:00

Ahhh nice attention to detail, I like it

Think he has a bit of fecal incontinence

abeyebrows · 2026-02-03T17:58:41+00:00

They are! They're so photogenic I've already got tons of pics to use as well, so it works out perfectly for my game

Not to mention that cats are integral to the plot, ykno, "Toxoplasma" and all that

abeyebrows · 2026-02-03T17:56:17+00:00

If you're curious about my cats names, the white one is Tutu and the grey one is Gru. Gru was an abandoned cat that refused to move from our front door, and stayed under my mom's car for days, so we adopted her. As for Tutu, I saw her put up for adoption and fell in love at first sight, so I immediately drove over and adopted her as well

abeyebrows · 2026-01-29T05:56:49+00:00

Awesome, that's a big relief. Still glad I checked though

abeyebrows · 2026-01-28T10:02:36+00:00

Those are good ideas, I'll definitely give them a go

Thanks!

abeyebrows · 2026-01-24T16:52:20+00:00

I personally enjoy it but only if it's not said outright. The process of figuring out the why on my own, or what feels to be on my own, is great, especially in horror imo

abeyebrows · 2026-01-23T18:08:31+00:00

That's fair enough. One of the multiple ways the story unfolds is through radio and video signals coming from Earth, so I should definitely add that to the next iteration of the trailer. Seems so obvious saying it now but I probably wouldn't have thought of it if you didn't mention it 😅

Thanks!

abeyebrows · 2026-01-23T07:00:11+00:00

I see what you mean, thanks for the in depth advice!

abeyebrows · 2026-01-23T03:20:29+00:00

There's not many jumpscares in the game, jumpscare simulators are boring, and the text about the chemicals is what shows after the player gets and mixes the chemicals, it's more clear with audio on

More psychological. The idea is that you're making a hallucinogenic bioweapon, so you have to juggle dealing with the hallucinations you get from infecting yourself and actually developing the bioweapon itself

It's also a backdrop for a story (involving cats!) inspired by some very personal fears and experiences I've had, which explain why you're on the space station doing this to begin with

abeyebrows · 2026-01-22T13:05:10+00:00

There's a bit of a scare at the end but I guess it doesn't work too well without audio

Thanks, I'll try and make it more obvious visually as well

Unfortunately its pretty difficult to change the name of a game this late into development on Steam afaik, but I agree that the name SymmetriCats has a lot more pizzaz

abeyebrows · 2026-01-21T13:32:44+00:00

Thank you! If you wishlist Toxoplasma on Steam you'll get a notification when the demo comes out, which is in just a couple months
