    Shadows of Doubt launches on Early Access in a matter of HOURS!! store.steampowered.com/app/986130/ Itā€™s by no means the end of the journey but I wanted to take the opportunity to thank a bunch of people who worked really hard to make the game a reality...

    #Gamedev 101: Make sure you work on your most essential mechanics first, like this diner booth scoot animation I implemented today.

    I've been working on stairwells today, and this is my favourite thing to do. #gamedev #indiedev

    Spent most of today thinking: What happens if you steal a chair while an AI is sitting on it, then throw that chair at them? It was a productive day. #gamedev #indiedev #voxels #Unity3D

    I've been meaning to start a 'ridiculous bugs' thread for Shadows of Doubt for a while, and was waiting for a good one to kick off with. I've got one: While implementing the classic 'distraction' coin, I accidentally gave it the weight of a chair...

    There's still only one building model in the game right now, need to get some more in! But I never get tired of looking up. #gamedev #screenshotsaturday

    You'll only be able to 'fast travel' down stairwells like this for a short while longer in Shadows of Doubt, as I'll finally be adding elevators this week: Citizens on the 17th floor rejoice! #gamedev #indiedev

    Today's progress: A directional arrow that points where to go if you have a route plotted (uses pathfinding as opposed to just pointing as-the-crow-flies, so you shouldn't get stuck!) #gamedev #indiedev

    Making some progress on the AI in shadows, but every now and again it displays something special: Like this scene of passive-aggressive domestic bliss where the wife tries to turn the light out to sleep but the old dude wants it on so he can enjoy his Croque monsieur šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļøšŸ„Ŗ#gamedev

    The idea behind this method of speeding up time was to give the player a legit reason to visit diners, bars, etc. In a lot of games, there isn't much value to visiting everyday places like that, which makes the player feel a bit alien.

    Want to pass some time? Waiting for dusk? Find a diner or bar, and watch the world go by. #ScreenshotSaturday #GameDev #IndieDev #egx #egxrezzed

    Starting a *much* needed AI re-write for Shadows. The current system is old and doesn't work properly with all the new stuff I've added in the last 6 months. Like this doormat, which it thinks is a person in its way. #GameDev #IndieDev #ScreenshotSaturday
