Shadows of Verdara Preview
Download Shadows of Verdara: https://laughingmatterstudios.itch.io/shadows-of-verdara-demo-or-is-it
You awaken in your home. The only sounds in the night are rain drops pounding on the roof of your dwelling…and the wretched hissing of invading trappers. You hope to find other survivors, but regardless, you need to escape the walls of Outpost V-I and travel to V-II. The night is going nowhere. Verdarian storms never cease. You have no options. Survive.
Shadows of Verdara is the second video game set in Laughing Matter Studios’ (LMStudios) Incursia series. The game was meant to release side-by-side with a novella of the same name, but due to project scheduling, both releases were put on a heavy hold. With no due date in sight, it was decided that the video game was to be released in it’s current state as a demo on Itch.io for free. This would allow the studio to gather information on what should be added/removed through community feedback.

Mockingbird Station (2016 Short Film)
This is a short film Taylor starred in back in 2016. There was some tension between him and the crew, and the video was lost for a time, but thanks to video archives of the internet, we were able to track it down! #shortfilm #indiefilm #dallas #taylorwilson -

You are an employee of the Raleigh Miner Corp. You were assigned to a mining station on the outskirts of a recently charted asteroid field far beyond the core worlds. A modern take on a classic arcade game, Asterfield takes you through five zones of non-stop action in the cosmos of the Incursia series. Do you have what it takes to come out on top?

Frosthopper Down Quick Gameplay Clip
We’re almost through building out an Incursia game for 7dfps 2023 hosted on Itch.io! We wanted to show off a brief clip of Taylor testing the game, and YES, he jumped at the sight of the second spider, which is why the character seemed to flip out! We’re polishing the game up at this point and adding a few more features before submitting it. We’ll also be re-doing most of the meshes after the game’s release on Itch.io. Think of the contest’s version as a sort of demo. And, it’s canon!

Untitled Incursia Arcade Game
It’s coming along! We’ve been hard at work with the LMStudios arcade, and this one is REALLY difficult. You’ll notice the plain textures, and we want to point out that there ARE textures, but nothing is yet optimized for the HTML version. Once the game is complete, we’ll be moving it into Unreal 5 to build it out for Android devices. All of our arcade classics (unless they are original games) will be available to play for free, though not all will be optimized for mobile browsers, such as this Asteroids-style game. That said, we will do everything we can to allow mobile users access. The game will also be the first Incursia-related game, and there will be a campaign mode, as well as an infinite mode where you keep shooting until you die. Looking forward to sharing with you all! -

Upcoming Scifi/Horror LMStudios Game | PC | Made in Unreal Engine 5 |
We’ve been hard at work these past few months working with Unreal. After spending time learning the engine, we needed to implement a variety of plugins to suite the studios’ needs. This is the game that will release ON THE SAME DAY that the next Incursia (formerly Dark Matter) series book is published. The two go hand in hand.
Other upcoming projects we’ll be doing in UE5 include:
– a VR bounty hunter game (Incursia)
– a Table Manners game
– a custom museum project
– a virtual studio
– a Devil’s Doorway-centered game (Incursia)
Studio lead Taylor Wilson will be in charge of most of the projects, but he’s also busy on the animation side. There’s been mostly background work this year up until the past two months. But what we’re working on will enable content to release MUCH more frequently in the near future, without sacrificing quality to even the slightest degree. -

Dark Matter: Galactic Warfare – The Island – Deathmatch
This is a full playthrough of the Island level in Deathmatch mode. There are many obvious issues at hand with how the game is played (no cover, hand targeting issues, players spawing too clustered [easy fix, more spawn points], teams spawing in each other’s zones, etc.). But, As one can see, most of the Lyra artwork is already removed and replaced, and there are several maps already added. At the end of the day, I feel like we’ll hardly see anything from the original plugin save for the blueprints and code. -
