Update: The Staircase Between Levels

Hi everyone!

A quick reminder: if you haven't already, please wishlist《工廈 Warehouse》on Steam — it really helps a lot for a solo indie developer like me!

Wishlist here! 🔗 Warehouse 工廈

This week’s update:

Hey everyone! If you haven’t already, don’t forget to wishlist《工廈 Warehouse》on Steam — your support is everything for this solo indie horror journey through the underbelly of Hong Kong’s industrial buildings 🖤

This week, I’ve designed the transition level between Level 2 and Level 3: The staircase.

In this video, you’ll see how the layout started as a basic prototype, and then transformed with textures, lighting, and post-process effects.

🕳️ Though this stairwell is a shorter level and didn’t take as long to finish, the atmosphere is key — and just like in real-life industrial buildings in Hong Kong, some corners of these staircases are so dark you don’t know what's in there.

These places are where urban legends are born, and ghost stories feel a little too believable 👻

🔜 Next devlog: I’ll be diving into Level 3 — a brand new floor in the building, featuring completely different layouts, interactions, puzzles… and of course, a new wave of jumpscares. It’s gonna get weird.

Stay tuned!

🔔 Don’t forget to wishlist the game and follow for future updates!
