And if I said I find Toby Fox's contributions to the OFF remake are some of his weakest work so far

Developer Pitch – Whispers in the Deadlands 2D Exploration • Monster Documentation • Moral Consequences

Hi,

I’m Colby, a writer and worldbuilder developing a 2D exploration and survival game called Whispers in the Deadlands. I’m looking for passionate collaborators—artists, developers, and creatives—interested in crafting a haunting, lore-rich experience with meaningful player choice.

The Game Set in the ashen remains of a post-apocalyptic world, Whispers in the Deadlands follows Cal, a lone survivor navigating the ruins of buried cities to document the monstrous creatures that now roam the land. Armed with only a stick and a field journal, Cal must observe and survive each encounter, using knowledge—not brute force—to unlock new abilities and evolve his weapon.

A key mechanic centers around moral decisions. Survivors call out for help as Cal travels, and choosing whether or not to assist them impacts the world in real ways. Those left behind may die—and later return as enemies, twisted by the Deadlands. Every encounter becomes a test of survival, empathy, and consequence.

Core Features

Atmospheric side-scrolling exploration through ash-covered urban ruins

A journal system that rewards observation, tracking, and behavioral study of monsters

Weapon upgrades unlocked by mimicking creature abilities

A morality system where ignored survivors may return as future threats

Minimalist UI, immersive sound design, and a world steeped in history and loss

Looking For:

2D artists and animators

Programmers (Unity, Godot, or similar)

Sound designers/composers interested in ambient or eerie landscapes

Collaborators who care about quiet worldbuilding, mood, and meaningful design

If this resonates with you, I’d love to talk more about the project. Let’s build something strange, quiet, and unforgettable together.

The sounds of Tron-

Something that is often looked over is the fact that Tron not only has a connection with early computing but with early gaming as well. Not just because one of the characters makes games and runs a arcade, video games are absolutely integral to the world. In fact they make up a good portion of how the system looks and functions!

For example most of the transport, ships, and weapons we see come from video games, mainly Flynn’s but extends into encoms catalog. In the vernacular it’s common to mention it as well “video game warriors” “Gonna make you play video games” “video game simulation” etc. but you didn’t need me to tell you this.

The way video games impacted and shaped the digital world of Tron absolutely plays a hand in how seamless it translates into the two tie in Arcade cabinets. Though heavy on the grid bugs they’re beautifully decorated and similar to the games as we see them on screen/would translate in real life. The music stings come straight from Wendy Carlos’s work for the film, to the extent the game contains the entirety of Anthem. [Listen]

Sound cue’s and combat-

Part of what makes the sound and style of the game so accurate to the movie is the sound design. Like in old games there is a sound for everything. Every movement has its own sound, it sounds silly as things in real life also have noise but if you’ve ever played any retro game you know what I’m talking about.

One of the best examples of this is when Flynn is tossed into the cell and stumbles around, there’s a metallic echo to his footsteps. In combat it’s the same thing —very distinct sounds to go with every action. A lot of what older games are is pattern recognition- both visual and audio, certain music loops or sound cues help you get better at the game. Another good example is Tron casting his disc, blocking throws etc- if you know what a disc sounds like you can better dodge etc. I also like how they have almost a ceramic sound when Ram plays with his.

Nothing is more video game than De-resolution itself! The death cry and slowly breaking into bits before getting reabsorbed. You can hear the noise off screen and know what happened, game over.

Apart from video game comparisons I do have such a genuine love for the sound design of the film and how much it fleshes out the world. The blips and bloops of energy flowing through the system. The sounds of a working computer. There’s a dial up esc noise when Flynn is beamed in and judging by the guards reactions it’s not different from a how a regular program would enter/travel between systems. Programs get to make funky little computer noises in my heart 💕(another inhuman attribute I think they deserve, they’re like us in so many ways but then… aren’t.)

I know it’s probably just because it’s older recording equipment but occasionally programs will get a grainy feedback/radio style grain to their voice. I’d like to think it’s intentional- especially considering Legacy does this too (going so far for it to be what some sound like all the time)

The way sound is utilized in the movie is a incredibly underrated aspect of what makes the movie so good.

The unique pain of having a story that works best in a certain medium and not having the skills to pull it off

[centipedve]

smthn abt the combo of ai and mobile ad spam creating this rise in cheap games designed solely to be products and often scams has like. fundamentally changed the way we look at video games now. for the better, actually, even though we think that shit should be denormalized as soon as possible for the future of the game industry. because before those things felt like such overwhelming parts of our life as someone interested in game dev it was veryyyy easy to look at a super buggy game with poorly made assets and laugh at it like lmfao bro thought this was worth uploading.... now the same exact types of games when we see people piling on them we just feel such an overwhelming sense of But they made something because they had a vision and even though they're an amateur they didn't shy away from sharing their work with the world and that's an amazing thing and we hope they continue to make the games they want to make....

and the people that complain on yt about someone's work they spent hours upon hours upon hours of so much frustration and pain working on and completing costing five dollars.... brother you are making money picking low hanging fruit and recording yourself playing a video game and the money you get from this is deserved. but the creator of the game you're making fun of for profit.... does not deserve profit for their work?

small game devs deserve money and they deserve to be celebrated also

As of yet unnamed game card art!

[melefim]

If you don't mind me asking, where did you get the line art of the symbols for the dress you are making?

I really wanna make some cross stitch patterns with them but do not have the skills to really lift them from the promo photos.

I don’t mind!

And I wish I had nice line art resources to give you, but I traced them all directly from the promo posters in the program I used to make the embroidery designs. :(

I should be able to get some screenshots of the finished embroidery designs, though they won’t be as accurate as even a regular tracing taken from the originals- they were traced, then I had to scale them down which lost some detail, and then I had to mess with line widths and even placement in some parts to get a design that would look right on the fabric. And lastly, the program can only show it as an embroidery- like it looks in the videos of the individual designs.

But, if you think that’ll be something you can work with, I can try and get screenshots taken for you and hopefully have them some time tomorrow?
