Here’s my blog post about making the trailer for Skin Deep by @blendogames.bsky.social !
Derek's work on the Skin Deep trailer is so incredible, and he's such a pleasure to work with. Kind, communicative, a total pro 🙏 This writeup on Derek's thought process and trailer construction is absolutely fascinating and so comprehensive. Check it out 👀

Hello hello! We're back with @blendogames.bsky.social & @lmichet.bsky.social this week to talk earnestness in storytelling, working w/ external writers, when to overexplain things, deranged subreddits, and in this clip, making a comedic immersive sim! scriptlock.simplecast.com/episodes/bre...
🙏Thank you for all the kind words for Skin Deep🙏 www.youtube.com/watch?v=u3F2...
The Mod Museum has some great shit in it. Even if you're not planning to mod skin deep, it's a wonderful little glimpse into what the creative process of level design was like for this team, what things they did invisibly to polish the environments, and so on
modding is the reason I have a job in games and I'm really glad we had a chance to go the extra mile here to help get people into it. check it out!! try making something!! break our game!!
We're proud to announce ✨The Mod Update✨ store.steampowered.com/news/app/301... 🐈MOD MUSEUM: a tour behind the scenes of Skin Deep 🐈MOD HANDBOOK: a guide on how to get started modding 🐈WORKSHOP UPLOADER: a tool to upload mods to Steam Workshop Very happy to keep the mod tradition going! 🙌
shortly before Skin Deep's release, I had a lengthy chat with @ghoulnoise.com about composing the soundtrack! we covered everything from the game's Bond-style theme to inspirations for its corporate propaganda songs to Snow's cat's cameos in the game
The newest adorable member of my scale model video game goo shelf is the Walkie Talkie item from Skin Deep. It's roughly 1:4 scale, but that's just a wild guess because it's a fictional object to begin with.
I've been making video games in some form for 20 years, so I wrote an article about my process - and why I don't use an engine. noelberry.ca/posts/making...
REVIEW // Skin Deep Sure, Skin Deep may not be a Sam Fisher scenario, but if you’ve been hankering for a stealth experience with a twist, I can’t recommend this enough. Read: www.well-played.com.au/skin-deep-re...
NEW DEV DIVE! In this interview with @blendogames.bsky.social and @lmichet.bsky.social we discuss the collaborative process and allowing comedy informing design- two things that made their new game Skin Deep as unique and excellent as it is. www.youtube.com/watch?v=A8g-... #Indiegames #gamedev
Just released ✨Skin Deep Update01✨ With over 50 additions and fixes!!! Enjoy! store.steampowered.com/news/app/301...
I've never gotten many notes on my releases (in the past I barely promoted anything for fear of annoying people so this isn't surprising) Anyway, the fact that there's two on the Skin Deep ost already makes me 🥹 If you've got a favorite tune, leave a note! ghoulnoise.bandcamp.com/album/skin-d...
Skin Deep is absolutely incredible, it's a button that dispenses joy store.steampowered.com/app/301280/S...
Hi all - join the Skin Deep narrative designer Laura Michet @lmichet.bsky.social & me for a developer commentary playthrough of our game, May 12 @ 3:30pm PT Featuring: ✨Laura Michet @lmichet.bsky.social ✨Brendon Chung @blendogames.bsky.social See you there! twitch.tv/blendogames
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Skin Deep has my eternal respect for never allowing the situation to be unfunny. Once you've reached competency in most immersive sims you feel like a cool deadly ninja. By the time you've mastered Skin Deep you are still Wile E Coyote
You all are the best. Thanks so much for everyone's support 😭 Skin Deep was a collaborative team effort and was very fortunate to have such a talented crew: blendogames.com/skindeep/cre...
Nothing has recently humbled me in video games more than finding a banana, eating it, throwing the peel on the ground in hopes of tricking a guard, realizing I needed to evac to space to get to the next area, clearing the ship, and then slipping on that banana peel on my way to the last cat.
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

What questions do you have about the making of the trailer for Skin Deep? I'm working on the case study now, so ask them down below and I'll do my best to answer questions in my newsletter!
🙏🙏🙏
I love toilets
Also, here's a peek at my "Game Inventory" list I made while working on the trailer for Skin Deep. (Gameplay spoilers) This is a list of all the things that I thought could work in the trailer. This is the longest list I've ever made. Needless to say, only a fraction of this is in the trailer :P
🙏🙏🙏
wrote a blog post about the comedy in skin deep: blog.lauramichet.com/some-thought...
thank you! This means a lot, considering Neon Struct's insanely good delayed title sequence 💯
SKIN DEEP (Original Soundtrack) is out now! ghoulnoise.bandcamp.com/album/skin-d... The fever dream soundtrack to the story of Nina Pasadena; a tale of espionage, assassins, spacefaring cats, and friendship.
"You Are An Insurance Agent On A Ship" is my favorite video game genre.
The source is here: www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/ku9uu... We plan to make a more cleaned-up source release at a later date
skin deep has such a cool approach to crediting individual level designers. nobody does tongue-in-cheek diegetic stuff quite like @blendogames.bsky.social. truly the best to ever do it.
Follow-up with a little extra something... For those of you who'd like to peek behind the curtain a bit, I've uploaded one of my unreleased early maps from the game as a Steam workshop level, complete with little 'commentary' stations where I go into the process. steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/...
was partly inspired by how each mission in metal gear solid 5 has opening credits for the level designer haha. Gotta credit the level designer!
Skin Deep was released today! 🎉 I wrote about some of the wonderful collaborators on this project. What a privilege to work with them: blendogames.com/news/post/20...

Playing Skin Deep really cemented for me just how important and influential @blendogames.bsky.social's games have been for me. So glad to see the studio continue to grow.
