GameDev and Post Trauma
summary
Combat memories become the game's core: a PC side‑scroll shooter called Phantom Beasts Redemption ties narrative and mechanics by forcing a mercenary to merge with an owl‑gorilla phantom to manage lethal radiation, creating a dual-layer gameplay loop of fast shoot‑'em‑up outside and mind exploration inside. The merge is a playable risk: Timogo rage merge swaps control and exposes hidden motives. Development uses Slack, Google Sheets time‑logging and weekly charts, team of five, and co‑op modes including PvP, PvE and Resistance Ops.
