New Unreal scene. Wanted to go big on the lighting and atmosphere with this one. Also did a bit of environmental storytelling.

4K version: youtu.be/Wtb7tJG6u7M?...

Been teaching myself Unreal and built this moody office scene while learning the basics of lighting, VFX, camera control, animation, cinematics, and blueprints. Wanted to make it feel convincingly cluttered and lived-in, which involved placing 600+ props by hand. Sound up for maximum atmosphere.

Control Resonant is once again a video game about the wonderful and terrifying possibilities of architecture:

You are not ready for how good this is. Absorb the data first, then horizontal axis, then vertical. Absolute 😗👌

I was interviewed by Tucker for one hour, talked about the end of Nerial in its current form, my main drive as a game designer and what happened over the last 13 years. It was lovely to chat to him and look back at all this and what's next. www.youtube.com/watch?v=San5...

Today, @nerial.bsky.social made a major move. François Alliot, the studio's founder, has separated from @devolverdigital.com and is headed back into the indie scene.

Here's an interview all about what that means for him, the team, and how they reached this point!

Oh no...

Unfortunately, another one of those announcements with text on a somber background color. We're stopping the activity of our studio, Nerial.

MONOMOON, my non-linear game about exploration and discovery launches on Steam November 11th! With no proper instructions, you must deduce and achieve your goals as you solve puzzles, find mysterious items, and uncover secrets hiding right under your nose.

Very true. The main thing I see is that music has live concerts, that’s more than community building, it’s the core for a lot of artists. Streaming is not necessarily the main driver.

Very true, but in the gamers’ defense, they’re missing the coffee shop that curates those handcrafted delicacies. Sometimes Steam feels like displaying a personal ad in a huge Walmart. Humble was that for a while but now bundles everything all at once.
