I found a Cursed Island on Google Maps, so I made a Retro Horror Game about it | Gupo Yu - YouTube

I managed to get my first devlog video done. It was a lot of work and it also talks about the work that went into my game. Please share your feedback on the clarity of all the content. It wasn´t easy to get everything into a sub 10min video.

Hii, solo gamedev from Germany here :3

I found this island, 'Gupo Yu' (Taiwan), on Google Maps a while ago and have been obsessed with it ever since. No one lives there. There's a lonely monument with bullet holes on it. There are some abandoned buildings. A memorial sign for a British cricket team that died in 1892 in a shipwreck. A local legend about sirens and some very interesting and unusual history.

I´m going for PS1 / old CRT style-wise. (left some screenshots below)

For gameplay, I´m focusing on atmosphere and exploration.

Happy to chat about it if anyone´s interested ^^

Sign on wooden pillar

I tried running this through image translation and it says this means "resource recovery".

Could someone explain? The original image is from an island I´m making a game about. My first thought would be something with either trash/recycling or maybe a place at the port where they would refill stuff. Or the translation is just lacking.

Grateful for any help ^^
