Hey!  For those of you who don't know, I've been in the game dev business for several years now.  My buddy Gabe and I started up a blog where we debate design methods and my first featured post was uploaded today.  It's called Drawing Your Game From Nothing and it's all about my process of using concept art.  Check it out: www.duelingdevblogs.com/2017/0…

Here's some sneak peaks:

I'm always working on stuff, I just rarely post it anymore.  Has dA moved on without me?  Who here would be interested in seeing some of my recent stuff?

Tired of games about boring old Nazis? Well never fear: there's a new figurehead of racist, xenophobic, fascist thought who a new generation can relate to! This mod updates Wolfenstein 3D to include the modern parallel of Hitler!

Disclaimer:
This modification is meant solely for the purposes of political satire. The creator of this mod does not, in any way, condone violent conduct. The violence within is over-the-top and only included for the purposes of making a comparison between the political activities of Donald Trump and the political ideals of Adolf Hitler.

In light of recent threats of violence in the political scene I'm removing all downloads of my Trump Tower 3D mod from the internet. Despite my disclaimers about how the mod does not endorse violence of any kind, I don't want to be associated with the kinds of scum who would actually resort to it if shit ever hits the fan. The video and screenshots will remain online (as they showcase no violence against any living person) to carry the true message of the mod: political satire comparing one candidate to a historical figure.

Just to reiterate: I do not, and never will, condone violent conduct of any kind. Name calling is great, I love that. People like Donald Trump only threaten us with their ability to spread ideas, and the only way to fight ideas is with better ideas and ridicule. Violence is not the answer and will only serve to empower the ideas I wish to contest.

Stay peaceful, stay responsible, and I apologize that the mod must be censored.

See No Evil is available on Steam!


This is it!  The game that I have spent all year programming has finally been released on Steam and you can purchase it right now!  

See No Evil is a dark, isometric puzzle game about sound manipulation. A harsh fantasy where the willingly blind are hostile to the nonconformist. Sometimes, the world seems darker with your eyes open.

After a 125% funded kickstarter campagin and one of the fastest Steam Greenlight campaigns ever, See No Evil is prepairing for release. Keep an eye out for release date info and more game previews coming soon. 

Thank you to all of you who supported me during the development period!  This has been a wild ride, and I can't wait to find out what you all think!

Behold!  The official, full trailer for See No Evil is released! 


This is the game that I've been working on since the beginning of the year as the game's programmer as well as a codesigner of levels and a few of the gameplay elements.  The game is directed and designed by my good friend (and insanely gifted artist and Game Designer) Gabriel Priske.  If you're interested in puzzle games or dark atmosphere you're going to really dig his vision!

"Atmospheric, creepy and fairly polished" - Rock Paper Shotgun


"See No Evil seems like it will be an awesome choice for any puzzle gamer." - Indie Love



See No Evil is a dark, isometric puzzle game about sound manipulation. A harsh fantasy where the willingly blind are hostile to the nonconformist. Sometimes, the world seems darker with your eyes open.


Become a Seer and explore the mind bending, twisted fantasy that is the world around you. Guided only by a journal left in your decaying prison, and opposed by an army of those afraid of what they don't understand, you seek to learn why the world went dark.


See No Evil reached its goal of $2,000 on Kickstarter and surpassed it by over $400, making 123% of the goal as well as being Greenlit by Steam only four days after being submitted for Greenlight voting.

See No Evil will
be available on the 26th on Steam, so keep your eyes peeled! 

Also, be sure to pick up the See No Evil OST composed by Luke Thomas, the ridiculously talented musician behind See No Evil's sound design.  He's based in the UK and all of his work is absolutely fantastic!

Keep up to date with our posts regarding the game's progress, special promotional Steam key giveaways, or developer rants, with the Dev pages at Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, and our main website: SNEGame.com


Thank you to all of you who watch my page and have given support while I pursue my dream of being a published game developer.  Gabe Priske and I are working ridiculous hours every day to make sure that this game is packed with the quality that we want people to expect from us.

Sincerely with love,
-William John Holly III, of the See No Evil Development Team
