Hey Guys!

Dusklander is an isometric survival game that I develop solo without any use of AI.

I recently reached a milestone where all basic survival mechanics are working together and I decided to showcase it in a single take, 20 minutes video with my commentary.

It was also selected by Steam to be part of PVE Survival Crafting Fest, which is still going on.

I don't want to bore you with a wall of text but here are a few highlights, why you could care about Dusklander if you enjoy survival games:

* Light is a survival resource which is used to stay alive in the darkness and to block enemy attacks - A unique take like in no other game I'm aware of.
* You learn to Weave resources that you discover and get familiar with. This way you can optimize the start of each run. This approach to meta-progression solves the frustrating cold-start problem that I encountered in many perma death games.
* You travel between Worlds through gates guarded by boss Sentinels. Each world features unique creatures, resources and threats that you need to learn to survive there.
* You play as a Goth girl voiced by an amazing actress

If this looks and sound interesting to you please add Dusklander to your wishlist and if you have any questions I'll be more than happy to answer them.

Thank you!

>Goth girl survival

I miss when you were made fun of for being a goth, instead of it being this weird fetishised thing it is now. Kinda funny how I guessed exactly how she'd be dressed as well before clicking the store page link

I haven't seen a "goth" in ages.

It's just girls who like to wear all black.

i cringed i lost. wp wp.

I wouldn't call what I'm doing here a fetishisation. It's a SFW game and she's not doing anything suggestive or provocative. She's meant to look and be dressed like she's not fit and prepared for a survival situation at all. More protective gear can be crafted of course. You could argue that there's no reason for her to be goth and she could be a default generic girl. But that's the design I had in mind for her since the idea for this game was born in my head. She was meant to be a goth from Australia and this is reflected in both her personality and style. As a side note, my wife has been a goth since forever so this aesthetic is really close to me and was an instant choice for my protagonist.

You managed to dress her in the most uninspired boilerplate outfit and made her look like the stereotypical """goth""" influencer and goth version of X character twitter artists draw

i'm sorry, if you think any woman wearing goth clothing is a fetish mean to cater to social media gooners you need to do some deep reflection on your thoughts on women's appearance.

besides, even if it's the dev's intention (game isn't out, but the images seem normal? doesn't seem sexualized to me), have you experienced any gothic media? sex is a common theme.

like you don't gotta think your FYP you doomscroll dictates how the world works, some people can just be interested in being gothic and sexy. like that's fine. people should be free to do that.

You are hallucinating. I was complaining about it because this character is basically wearing the textbook """goth""" girl influencer uniform. It was a broad statement about what people refer to as goth these days as this game looks like its cashing in on that

Its all so tiresome isn't it?

i'm sorry, i was unaware you're the arbiter of what's allowed to be goth or not.

Take your meds you're still hallucinating
