It was mostly logistics - locations, actors, all that. I think if I was better at networking I would be interested in making movies but I don't think I could organize it, especially during development

it low key is for him 😭

Fun fact - Heartworm almost had live action cutscenes but it was too logistically complicated to figure out. And reminder!!! HEARTWORM is out on PC and consoles NOW

This is the attract cinematic that plays when the main menu is idle. The Resident Evil 2 one used to give me nightmares - I actually remember shutting the TV off because I was too afraid lol.

Those older games were low fidelity and left a lot to the imagination, I loved the little snippets of high resolution video we would get to show what the designers really wanted the world to look like, and help fill in the gaps in my imagination. Or in Resident Evil's case, the live action footage.

What's your favorite retro game cutscene?

Making Heartworm, my goal was to build a game that felt like it could have existed alongside the survival horror games I grew up with. I LOVED the prerendered cutscenes in them. And @thehangingrabbit.bsky.social absolutely killed it with his work on ours.

trying to figure it out!

What better way to spend the scary season than contemplating and coming to terms with your existential fears, on the platform of your choice?

FMV style cutscene test cont. (volume warning)

I get in my head about posting in fear of ppl assuming I'm virtue signaling or w/e but these people don't even think twice about posting the most vile shit. I believe the world is overall a good place and there is no room for people like them.

Truly miserable and unsurprising to see another round of some of the most cowardly and disgusting things said online regarding women, marginalized groups, and human beings in general.

in honor of Heartworm releasing on consoles, i wanted to post my first and last times cosplaying Sam - first was before the second demo release, preparing for Retro World Expo. Last was at Pax West 2024 where we hung out with the great people at DreadXP.
