New Trailer, Screenshots and Games Baked in Germany Event!
Hi!
I’m beyond excited to share the newest gameplay trailer for my horror
game Dark Lessons! It showcases the overhauled environment and improved graphics I've been working on for the last few months, and it also gives you a first impression of the new inventory system. You can follow this link to view the trailer on YouTube:

In addition, I also updated the screenshots on Dark Lesson's Steam page to more accurately represent the current state of development. Everything looks so much more atmospheric than just a few months ago.
Here are three examples:
Interactible objects are now highlighted when you look at them.
Light shafts and volumetric fog add to the atmosphere.
The inventory still needs more design work, but I'm really proud that I've got a 3D inventory in my game after all.

With the functioning inventory and my first basic puzzle in place, it was time to start alpha testing the game last weekend. BIG SHOUTOUT to the twelve testers who volunteered to check out Dark Lessons in it's still somewhat rough state and give me much need feedback. While some of the testers had a good time and got to experience the alpha as intended, a few too many had a less than stellar experience. On some systems, unexpected graphics and performance issues made testing a drag. I’ll be hard at work rooting out those issues over the next couple of weeks.
Between testers, artists who provide assets, developers who create tooling and voice over artists and streamers who help popularize a game, it’s truly mind blowing how many shoulders I as a solo game dev am standing on. I almost feel like a fraud putting my name on this when my own contribution is just the visible tip of the iceberg. In this vein: Thank you so much to everyone who has been supporting me!
