The Poster/Title Screen

The title screen (and later box art/poster) for Something Seeps. A pile of surreal horror wraps itself around Jeremy Carver.
Home is hell in the Carver House.

Starting the new year with the main poster/title screen/”box art” for Something Seeps. There are a lot of tiny details hidden in this image that will click once you’ve progressed in the game. I’ll likely be moving onto the intro cinematics next. (continue reading)

A Room With a Twist

Got a headache all of a sudden…

Here we encounter the old swing set and what appears to be a nasty warp in reality. We probably don’t want to know what’s back there. But we’ll go investigate anyway, soon. Fun fact: That playground equipment is based on the one my kids had when they were younger. (continue reading)

Around the House

This is my old AGS jog around the house to show the basic layout. Note that this is lower resolution and not as detailed as the rework I’m making in Unity, but it gives a good idea of the visual mood of the game. (continue reading)
