Indie game dev with lots of side quests. Dream game romantic in Unreal Engine.

Im tired of infinite canvas startups.

Im tired of generative video snake oil providers.

Im tired of hype for hyperframes.

So I decided to build Raea. Open source. Free for everyone.

Faster and more capable than hyperframes or remotion. (10-20x faster) capable of video, ads, games…

Why am I only now learning about dwarf fortress?

Caves of Qud looks fantastic.

Who knew ascii was the future of gaming…

Is the simulator genre exhausted at this point? Assumedly there's endless opportunities.

Garbage Truck simulator? Probably would rip.

Clock Maker simulator? Great puzzle game.

12th century executioner simulator? I'd give it a shot.

Where does the genre 'jump the shark'?

I think one of the most accessible parts of being an indie dev is that all the backend engine and logic is already out there.

Someone is selling a framework or pre-built system that saves you weeks of work.

Then learn to dissect, understand, and innovate off what was already built.

Weeks of work finally now in production! 🍾🎉

Off-Space is my spy vs. spy, corporate espionage simulator.

Generative office layouts and employees with a robust utility AI under the hood; a long-form social deduction game with replayability.

(swoon)

Okay, but why corporate espionage? 🕵🏻🏢

Ive been working on an AI NPC system for Unreal Engine.

Uses Piper for TTS and Lama 1B as a local LLM.

Pretty damn good for real time processing.

Makes my 4070 purr like a panther but I’m amped nonetheless.
