Repeated intro
Hey everyone, here I am with some news on my next game! After The Alien Cube and The Land of Pain I am now working on my third game, a first person horror adventure with Lovecraftian lore and extraterrestrial vibes.

The level design
To realize my project I am using Unreal Engine 5 and its latest technologies such as Nanite and Lumen.
Nanite is a virtualized geometry system which allows to obtain an incredible level of detail for every object in the game.
Lumen is a dynamic global illumination and reflections system that allows for very accurate and realistic lighting. Both technologies help developers reaching the best results in terms of graphics.
In this moment I am building big natural environments that the player will be able to explore while trying to unveil the mysteries that surround the place. There will be also interiors and disturbing underground structures to discover, where ancient secrets will come to light after being buried for years.
The story
The protagonist, a university student keen on ancient mysteries, is investigating strange phenomena that occur only at a certain time of the year in a nearby forest. This time the episodes are weirder than usual and it looks like someone else is keeping an eye on them.
PS: tomorrow it's The Land of Pain's 6th anniversary and to celebrate this event all my games are on sale!
