Solo Dev Memo

I make games on my own – the code, the 3D models, the music and the trailers. Right now that means a co-op bank heist where things get out of hand fast.

A 5-player co-op heist. Crash into the bank, put the hostages to work, hold off the police and get out rich.

  • Online co-op for up to 5 robbers
  • Hostages run counting machines and printers for you
  • Police waves that keep getting bigger
  • Escape by chopper from the roof

Screenshots

Straight from the game – captured in-engine, no mock-ups.

Made solo

One person, every part of the game.

Code

Unreal Engine 5 + C++

Server-authoritative co-op, AI police, hostages, the economy and the menus.

Art

Blender

Characters, rigs, props, the bank and the city – modelled and set up in Blender.

Sound

Made in code

The soundtrack and sound effects are synthesized with scripts – no stock music.

Video

In-engine footage

Trailers and Reels are filmed inside the real game – what you see is what you play.

Memo log

Short notes from the dev diary.

  1. The heist loop works

    Crew trapped in the bank, police waves every few minutes, pay the negotiator and get to the roof.

  2. Menus and online play

    Main menu, settings, key rebinding and hosting or joining a crew.

  3. A bigger bank

    Three floors, a basement vault with deposit boxes, and a whole street outside.

  4. Hostages get jobs

    Sorting cash, smelting gold, printing money – the bank becomes a business.

  5. Soundtrack and casino

    Music and sound effects synthesized from code; a casino to gamble the take away.

  6. First trailer

    Ten scenes filmed in-engine, cut in English and Turkish.

  7. Hello, world

    Instagram, the first Reel and this site go live.
