Spent way too long trying to generate guard rails along splines today (and now I hate splines) but ended by bashing together a knock off Glenfinnan Viaduct which looks PRETTY GOOD ๐Ÿ˜Œ

That's going to make a good alternate route if you can jump on to it ๐Ÿ‘€

Found the first video I took! Here it is after about 2 days development and the first pass of the drifting system implemented.

Glad I sorted the camera LOL.

Lovely write up of Go Kart Island from @darkrula.bsky.social! ๐Ÿฅฐ

Still 20% off on Switch until this Friday ๐Ÿ‘€ And a Steam sale coming this weekend!

#indiegames #indiegaming #videogames #gaming
First seeing this during its release on Steam last year, it is now also available on Steam. So, in giving Go Kart Island a drive, I fell in love with the variety and humour it offers. It's an easy recommended one, with my experiences showing why.

The first game I'm offering thoughts on this year, Go Kart Island is a delightful one. Plenty of humour in its interactions being just one reason.

Started playing Banjo-Kazooie again. I remember playing Mumbo's Mountain on a display console in the local toyshop in 1998 for like an hour, and still barely scratching the surface.

Just 100%ed it in like 20 minutes this time LMAO.

One week till the Switch release! I'd promote it more but I feel like I'm still hungover from Hogmanay.

Please pre-order to help cure me.
