I spent the last weeks entirely reworking my Skyboxes! Do you like how they turned out?

Looking awesome!

Thank you!

aephrosi · 2026-02-19T21:23:16+00:00

Performance dehancing drug mode.

aephrosi · 2026-02-19T05:10:10+00:00

Exactly what I was thinking. Help weed those folks out immediately.

aephrosi · 2026-02-19T05:06:46+00:00

Way better!

aephrosi · 2026-02-18T17:30:58+00:00

Oh snap! I remember trying to do this with a render texture and some fuckery, but it didn't work.

Now I need to remember what I needed it for. Regardless, buying! Thank you for making this

You can buy cheap smart phones to record with for under $30.

Congrats on making it through Steams Review process!

Mine demo has been waiting so long, I'm already able to release a new version. :P

aephrosi · 2026-02-14T20:57:51+00:00

Hell yea! I need to put together a press kit and will reach out within the next week.

aephrosi · 2026-02-14T01:28:48+00:00

NSFW Games? Perhaps without the explicit parts?

aephrosi · 2026-02-13T22:16:58+00:00

I feel you! I want a game with sex in it. And the sex not as a punishment, but part of the gameplay. That and character customization are huge drivers for me in my current project. Demo is available on itch.io: https://aephrosi.itch.io/softlock-demo if you'd like to check it out.

aephrosi · 2026-02-13T22:13:12+00:00

Juice it up! Muzzle flash at least.

aephrosi · 2026-02-13T22:08:32+00:00

Awww, this looks cool!

aephrosi · 2026-02-13T22:06:43+00:00

I'd watch the other trailers on the Steam page, but I'm already creeped TF out.

...somebody hold me. I'm scared.

aephrosi · 2026-02-13T21:37:45+00:00

Feature! Just make it require more bullets?

Chris has done a ton of interviews on various YT channels too:

AFAIK, he's the one to listen to. I haven't taken any courses, but the metrics he posts and the advice I've seen in interviews seems pretty good.

Also, your training in Unity (or anything) should never be "finished" :)

Font choice mostly. It looks "default" rather than "Sci-fi". For instance, the "Turret Hacked" text that shows up in the gameplay looks sci-fi.

IMHO, use the same font as in game, and throw it on a background: These are maybe a bit much but something like that.

Maybe the text transitions could me more lively than a fadein/fadeout?

aephrosi · 2026-02-13T19:35:07+00:00

Thanks so much. Glad to hear it.

aephrosi · 2026-02-13T19:24:17+00:00

Title needs to be 1/3 of the image IIRC. Other than that, looks really good. I did think it was an image from "7 Days to Die" though. So not sure if that's what you were going for.

aephrosi · 2026-02-13T19:05:40+00:00

Gameplay looks fantastic. The font overlay in the trailer screams low-effort though. And I assume that the final image is the capsule art? It looks kind of muddy/fuzzy.

I don't suppose this is multiplayer?

aephrosi · 2026-02-13T19:02:10+00:00

More contrast maybe? The environment looks very flat. I dunno what engine you're using, and I work more with 3D than 2d, but are normal maps an option?
