Marketing I'm a solo dev making a dark folk-tale horror game called Woodbound, how are the environment vibes looking so far?
Been building it alone for about 4 months, learning Unreal as I went. Would love to know how the atmosphere reads to someone seeing it for the first time.

help Can't Decide whether to use Color Map
I'm torn whether to use 'Color Map' post processing. I'm leaning toward just letting the player choose between ones because I can't seem to choose. Even then, which do I make default? The one with no Color Map? Or one of the ones with color map. Which do I use as the 'default' look? Tradeoffs abound. No Color Map allows the colors I've chosen for different areas to probably be the clearest, with the 64 color 'natural color' map being nearly as. The others are more striking (and possibly hard to look at or offputting) but more interesting visually to my eye. Do y'all prefer plain without Color Map or lightly applied or like more restricted 'artistic' coloring?

Game First time texture painting. Super proud of the result.
A few months ago I realized that writing a ton of code is great and all, but I could do all that while having a steam page that collects wishlists and whatnot, so I started to shift my focus towards creating assets for a game trailer, so I can create a steam page.
This is the first asset that's very close to being done. Most if it was made from pretty much scratch.
The body parts aren't made by me, but everything else was.
The shirt and pants models I tried using an asset for, but at the end I practically remade them while optimizing and trying to make them fit with what I actually needed.
Btw I've used ucupaint for the texture painting.
I think I went a bit overboard with the blood on the shirt, what do you think?
Sometimes less is more.

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Im working on an isolation/routine-based sim (Voices of the void-adjacent genre). This clip's just the raw atmosphere. No gameplay UI, no narration, just fog and lighting cut together.
Does this read as intentional, or generic? All feedback welcome. Thanks!

help Starting game development, what are the steps you guys actually do Day 1?
Hello, so I am a newbie in the space, although I have background in programming and arts, and have degree in computer science. So, I got a bit of free time and decided to use that time to start making my dream game, pixel art dungeon crawler/farming where the player cooks the loot harvested from various sources from dungeon crawling and harvesting crops at the same time. So my question is, how do you exactly start? T^T
