Dev Blog - Pre-Demo release date, Dawn 3D Model, improved menus and more.
Admiral Tier Pre-demo TestingWe've been discussing this for quite a while now. Given how Selaco is still relatively far from releasing (insert obligatory 2255 joke here!) we were hesitant to share a demo with anyone who wasn't part of our current (playtesting) team. We are currently far enou...
Dev Blog - New Weapon, New Enemy Type, Progress!
In our last blogpost I mentioned that I wasn't particularly happy with the current state of the game. Due to a short deadline to get our submission ready for Realms Deep, we've spend a lot of time making things look presentable, but everything was held by duct-tape. The weeks after submittin...
Dev Blog - E1M1 announcement, studio name reveal!
A year ago during Realms Deep 2020, a certain gaming magazine called E1M1 revealed themselves to the world. A retro shooter magazine which, surprise surprise, covers the type of shooter we all hold near and dear to our hearts; retro shooters (or as I prefer to call it: Throwback Shooters). They are ...

Development Blog - Taking a break, Proximity Mines, Destructible Voxels
StressIn our first ever Patreon post I mentioned that I wanted to feel comfortable opening myself up. In our Discord server I am not often one to speak about what is going on in my life as I consider myself a rather private person. I think I have reached a certain boiling point where I feel like it...

Development Blog - Nailgun, Accessibility options, Roomba AI and more!

No draft saved either. Apologies for the delay with the development blog.Allow me to share what we have been working...

Developer Blog: Creating Dawn
Before Dawn was Dawn, the protagonist of Selaco went through several major changes.Back in the Project Ominous days, our unnamed protagonist, known simply as Ominous Dude, started off very much like Doom Guy. And, considering we were still a Doom mod, that’s to be expected. As the game grew and pr...
Development History of Selaco
I usually prefer to not get too personal in the public. I feel 'safer' speaking on behalf of the team instead of myself. But now that Selaco is gaining traction I want to try and step out of my comfort-zone and get more personal with you by explaining the development history of Selaco and th...
