Proxima’s Steam page is now live to Wishlist! You can also visit the Proxima Website.
Hi! I’ve been solo developing my own single-player FPS - “Proxima” - for a little while now! After many years of education, personal game & modding projects, and professional work, I’ve been pouring my all into this game and I’m so excited to start sharing it. I wanted to use this forum page to share progress, information, or answer any questions about Proxima!
Alongside the newly released Steam page, I also just put out the first teaser trailer for the game:
Proxima has been a long time in the making- this actually started as my final demo reel project in college at Gnomon School of VFX in 2022! The version you see here is a total remake from the ground up, but I just couldn’t shake the idea of the game I wanted to make. This game is greatly inspired and a love letter to games like Half-Life and BioShock. The game is running on UE5.6, and I’ve been having a blast working with Unreal to bring my vision to life! Everything was created from scratch, using UE5, Blender, Substance Painter&Designer, zBrush, SpeedTree, Ableton and Photoshop.
Game Summary:
In the shadow of Jupiter’s moon Europa, you’re reassigned to a top-secret research facility aboard the Proxima, a lunar orbital station built by the mega-corporation Artemis to study the moon. Your new assignment hides a deadly secret: humanity’s first alien discoveries from a classified mission into Europa’s icy oceans.
When Subject 11 – the reality-defying, matter-mutating lifeform you study alongside your robot assistant Huxley – breaks containment, the station spirals into chaos. As the sole survivors, you and Huxley must navigate the ruined, warped facility, using combat, stealth, and puzzles to survive and escape. Along the way, uncover Artemis’ dark secrets, the fate of your crew, and the haunting truths of what it means to be human.

Especially the use of nature in combination with all the tech-y elements.
