Sneak Peek Gameplay Footage for Dread Eagle

I just put together a small gameplay sneak peek for Dread Eagle and after testing it...

Yeah. I’m never playing my own game again. Bad idea. Terrible for my health. 10/10 horror experience.

The project is starting to feel really good now, both visually and mechanically, and I wanted to share a quick progress update with you all.

What’s coming together

The atmosphere is getting heavier, movement feels better, and the game is starting to hit that exact uncomfortable energy I wanted from the beginning.

Current dev progress (highlights)

Here are some of the things I’ve been working on recently:

• Full body mechanics are almost done

  • This includes Inverse Kinematics (IK)

  • Movement is much more natural now

  • Player animations feel more grounded and immersive

• Animation and camera improvements

  • Fixed an issue where consecutive jumping could lock the player

  • Improved crouch and stand sync

  • Camera now returns properly to head view after actions

  • Added fall/landing camera parenting and unparenting

  • Camera now attaches correctly to the player head during certain jump/land animations

• Controller support progress

  • First controller prototype is now working

• Customization / skin system progress

  • Finished the skin selection room full design

  • Players can now select a skin

  • Each skin has its own emote + idle state

  • Added a smoother system for spawning/loading the skin selection from the main menu

  • Skin selection system is close to complete

• Main menu progress

  • Main menu is finished

  • External player mesh visibility improvements are in progress (so other players see the correct mesh setup)

Thanks for reading so far,
