Hi Bluesky, could really use your help ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™

We just launched our latest game Starless Abyss - the exact week that Oblivion was shadow-dropped. Which has been *not fantastic* for our launch

If anyone can spare a RT, that would be so, so helpful โค๏ธโค๏ธ

Find it here: store.steampowered.com/app/3167970/...

"What might surprise you is the visuals. From the very beginning, Lost Records: Bloom & Rage looks immaculate. But, somehow, Donโ€™t Nod takes it up a notch in the second half. Tape 2 is striking."

fun fact: if you draw fanart for a game within the first week of any sort of major PR event for it (announcement, demo, release etc) there is a 99% chance the entire dev team on the game knows who you are because they are doing nothing but reposting fanart in slack

The Hidden ASMR Obsession No One Talks About! :: Lost Records: Bloom & Rage General Discussions Has anyone else noticed the free ASMR hidden in this game? Seriously, the high-quality sound moments when picking up objects are incredible! Itโ€™s unexpectedly soothing, who would have thought that sim...

And it was intentionally ASMR, it was even the word used by @michelkoch.bsky.social at the very beginning!

I dont even think I ever saw the concept! I think at some point we tried adding a bit more of the warmer colors but with the scene lighting and everything, it evolved into the bluer colors in the background? ๐Ÿ’™

Suicide Prevention is a very important cause to me and based on multiple skeets on my skyline:

๐Ÿ“ž 988 - National Suicide Prevention Lifeline (has text chat, too)

๐Ÿณ๏ธโ€โšง๏ธ Trans Lifeline - 877-565-8860

๐Ÿณ๏ธโ€๐ŸŒˆ Trevor Project - 866-488-7386

Or if you are in immediate danger go to the closest emergency room.

Curious to read the blog post! Are the shorelines/intersection distance field based? I'm under the impression you're doing something else but I could be wrong! ๐Ÿ‘€ Are you using the Single Layer Water or is it a translucent mesh?
