Make survival a shared responsibility.
Watch development video ↗01 / NETWORKED CO-OP
I built the networked multiplayer systems for Dread Signal, including level travel and voice chat. The video shows several game clients moving between test levels. It’s an early look at the setup that lets players explore and communicate together.

02 / FIRST-PERSON COMBAT
I developed the first-person weapon handling and worked on the camera response, effects and gun feel, alongside early enemy AI. The HUD shows ammo, firing mode and equipment. In a game this dark, that feedback needs to stay clear during a fight.
First-person pistol gameplay with ammunition and equipment feedback, approximately 1:20 in the gameplay update.
03 / INVENTORY & EQUIPMENT
I built an inventory interface with item selection, quantities and armor information. It sits over the game world so players can check their equipment without losing the scene entirely. The footage shows the interface while it was still being refined.

04 / MENU, LOBBY & SESSION FLOW
I built the menu around a computer inside the game world. The devlog follows the computer asset through to the working interface, with a look at the lobby Blueprint’s ready checks and countdown logic along the way.

DESIGN DIRECTION
Dread Signal was previously shown as Phantom Ascendance. I’m bringing together co-op objectives, enemy AI and limited visibility, with voice chat giving players a way to share what they know. The footage on this page is from development builds.
