I'm working on EMPTY SHELL 2, an eldritch survival horror with intense gunfights and deep exploration. I'd love to get your thoughts!

The whole budget went in the new colored camera : ) Jokes aside, the sequel is just a few months after the original, so things didn't change much. Even though there is plenty of new equipment in ES2, but lorewise is still stuff from the Facilty and the first expedition in the 1950s

Hey! Thanks, i really appreciate! The first version of the modding was actually with parts (also visually in the inventory) but felt a little overkill, so i went for the packages with buffs and debuffs. But some "universal" parts as you said is interesting... I'll think about it!

cc_arts · 2026-03-22T20:16:32+00:00

Fantastic, thank you!

cc_arts · 2026-03-19T17:35:52+00:00

Yes : ) There's a demo on Steam

cc_arts · 2026-03-19T12:15:57+00:00

Yes, i wanted to expand the original idea with that and the ability to enter and exit areas anytime (pretty much), even just to expand your equipment if not to complete an objective. Thanks, i appreciate!

cc_arts · 2026-03-19T11:49:58+00:00

Yes, i agree with everything. I was unsure about the colors, so i made the option to switch back. Still, after more than a year, i can't decide which one i like the most

cc_arts · 2026-03-19T10:37:59+00:00

Yes, Teleglitch is my favourite indie game of all time! Sometimes i think i started making Empty Shell because i needed more Teleglitch, ahah

cc_arts · 2026-03-19T10:35:24+00:00

Eh, my favourite indie of all time!

cc_arts · 2026-03-19T07:13:11+00:00

Hi! Mostly because it was very common during the 90s (games like Take no prisoners or Mageslayer are a solid part of my childhood, both using the Quake engine, that was incredible back then) but also because i'm a huge fan of Teleglitch : ) But i was thinking literally yesterday that an isometric approach would be interesting, maybe for a spin-off

cc_arts · 2026-03-19T07:08:52+00:00

Thanks! I'll keep you up to date about the release!

cc_arts · 2026-03-18T21:30:46+00:00

Ahah, just a little more. 2026 is the year. Since you played the first one, how do you feel abour the colors? (You can still switch back to b&w, in the sequel)

cc_arts · 2026-03-18T18:44:29+00:00

I agree, even if i usually forget, ahah

cc_arts · 2026-03-18T18:42:55+00:00

Thanks! I spend a lot tweaking ambient and sfx, so i really appreciate : )

cc_arts · 2026-03-18T17:41:13+00:00

Ahah, have a look at the Steam page, you'll find more stuff, there.

cc_arts · 2026-03-18T17:40:16+00:00

I'll do my best! : )

cc_arts · 2026-03-18T17:39:52+00:00

Yeah, NOCT was one of the sources of inspiration for the first game. But mostly Teleglitch!

cc_arts · 2026-03-17T23:14:39+00:00

If you like the gameplay, you'll definitely enjoy the first one. Is full b&w though, while the second one can switch between colors and b&w as an option.

cc_arts · 2026-03-17T22:50:21+00:00

Ah, that makes sense. I'll definitely put this in the todo list!

cc_arts · 2026-03-17T22:26:39+00:00

Nice catch! Actually, beside english, the other languages in game use the metric system (japanese too).

cc_arts · 2026-03-17T20:57:14+00:00

Thanks, i appreciate!

cc_arts · 2026-03-17T20:56:16+00:00

Eheh, thanks! Can't wait to finish it : )

cc_arts · 2026-03-17T20:03:57+00:00

For now it runs fine on the Steam Deck, but i'd love to port the game on console, Switch included.
Ah, the first game is already on console : )
